=**//__Cultural Awareness__//**= **//Did you know that not everything we read online is true? The sources we could trust are newspapers, magazines and books as sources of information. but it’s not the same with online. Anyone can become published, most of it is just the person's opinion and/or what they think. Also, some people are just rewriting stuff they read from other people online, so your probably reading the same false information over and over again. And even Wikipedia isn’t really a good source. If you’re researching something online, you need to consider the source. However, if you find a .gov or .org site, the information has a better chance of being true. Always look at who owns the website and whether or not they have an agenda before considering whether or not the information is true. Some people might think they are right, on what they are talking about, but some times they are not even close to it.//** **//[|Ask a Tech Teacher]//** **//http://askatechteacher.wordpress.com///**

 * //"If online drama is affecting your offline world, it’s time to unplug for a while","If all you can think about is your online interactions, you need to get offline pronto. If the things you say and do and people you’re talking with are keeping you up at night, and causing you to lose focus on your classes or other commitments, it’s time to spend less time online. Kids don’t need grownup sized stress. I know this sounds too simple, but if you spend less time online, those online problems will go away."//**

** __//Stop Cyber bulling//__ **

 * "In any conversation online, someone is sure to mention something about someone else and that is gossiping, but talking to the person you were talking about is called “cyber bullying”. Cyber bullying is a term that is to the act of harassing and/or threatening someone through the internet, texting, and website postings. Suicide and assault cases have been linked to online cruelty and harassment. Bullying leads to suicide.**

 * //"The Internet can be a wonderful resource for kids. They can use it to research school reports, communicate with teachers and other kids, and play interactive games. Kids who are old enough to punch in a few letters on the keyboard can literally access the world.// **
 * //But that access can also pose hazards. For example, an 8-year-old might do an online search for "Lego." But with just one missed keystroke, the word "Legs" is entered instead, and the child may be directed to a slew of websites with a focus on legs — some of which may contain pornographic material.// **
 * //That's why it's important to be aware of what your kids see and hear on the Internet, who they meet, and what they share about themselves online.// **
 * //Just like any safety issue, it's wise to talk with your kids about your concerns, take advantage of resources to protect them, and keep a close eye on their activities."// **

__**//Internet Safety Laws//**__

 * //"A federal law, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), was created to help protect kids online. It's designed to keep anyone from obtaining a child's personal information without a parent knowing about it and agreeing to it first.// **
 * //COPPA requires websites to explain their privacy policies on the site and get parental consent before collecting or using a child's personal information, such as a name, address, phone number, or Social Security number. The law also prohibits a site from requiring a child to provide more personal information than necessary to play a game or participate in a contest.// **
 * //But even with this law, your kids' best online protection is you. By talking to them about potential online dangers and monitoring their computer use, you'll help them surf the Internet safely."// **
