Teen Internet Safety WebQuest
T.Cook
North Syracuse Junior High School
Introduction:
After an emergency meeting of the PTO committee the parents of North Syracuse Junior High School have recommended the district ban the use of the Internet at school. After a unanimous vote to put a hold on all Internet usage the parents vowed that they will never again allow their students to be put in danger by giving them access to the Internet. These parents believe that the Internet is nothing more than an unsafe playground. This came in response to recent events of multiple students in our district misusing the Internet during school hours. Detecting a bully or identifying harassment within a school district has become increasingly difficult with the advent of cell phones, Internet, and social networking sites. Although trouble still occurs in hallways and classrooms, and on school grounds, many more unseen incidents are occurring through cell phone text messages, Facebook, & other Internet sites. An emergency Board of Education meeting has been scheduled for next week. It is rumored the board members will vote conservatively in favor of eliminating Internet access from all schools. Will the Internet be banned forever? Or can the students change their future?
