17. How can I help to protect my child? Limit the number of people who have access to your contact information or details -this may help in you not becoming a victim and identifying the bully if you are. It is easy to forget that there is another person on the receiving end of that message you send. Avoid retaliation in the situation-responding with hostility is likely to provoke and escalate the situation . Depending on the situation, consider ignoring the information. Often bullies thrive on your reaction. You could change your email address; if you continue to get email at your new address, you may have a stronger legal case. It is called “flaming” when you send a hurtful or mean email. It usually leads to responding without thinking and can get out of control. Document the activity -keep a record of online activity (email, web pages, IM’s, voicemails,etc) including dates and times. Also consider printing a copy. Report cyberbullying to the appropriate authorities- report to your law enforcement agency-there is a distinction between free speech and punishable offenses-let them make the decisions. Also, let the school know as they may have policies for dealing with activity that involves students.

The Internet is a massive network of networks, a networking infrastructure. It connects millions of computers together globally, forming a network in which any computer can communicate with any other computer as long as they are both connected to the Internet. Information that travels over the Internet does so via a variety of languages known as protocols . WWW is The World Wide Web , or simply Web , is a way of accessing information over the medium of the Internet. It is an information-sharing model that is built on top of the Internet. The Web uses the HTTP protocol, only one of the languages spoken over the Internet, to transmit data. Web services , which use HTTP to allow applications to communicate in order to exchange business logic, use the Web to share information . The Web also utilizes browsers , such as Internet Explorer or Firefox , to access Web documents called Web pages that are linked to each other via hyperlinks . Web documents also contain graphics, sounds, text and videos.
The internet is another way that students can collect information about topics for a project, essay or just for their own knowledge. We try to share with our students that you SHOULD use the internet, magazines, encyclopedias, and other media to get information for these purposes. You can gather so much-how can we discriminate what is useful and not? That is hard to do, but we as teachers in the classroom try to get kids to look beyond the first 2-3 entries when they “Google” a topic. Try for example www.mlk.org , which looks like a website that is about MLK and a great reference. As you look closer and further down the page, it is actually linked to a white supremacist group. Again, read all the fine print and make the right decision on what to use as a reference. When you research something, you aren’t just researching in NY, or even the US, you are reaching out to the world and asking them for their help. Make careful choices on what you accept as a “good” resource.
