Class experience
I love to be online. I love playing games. I love watching YouTube videos. I love social media. I am also very aware of the dangers that being online presents but when I was younger I had no idea about online safety. I had never heard of phishing, online scammers, and I definitely didn't know that people would try and steal information, cause addiction, or trick me into being unsafe.

This class may be scary for some children. We will be discussing people who DO try to hurt and trick children. We will talking about people who are willing to steal, lie, and manipulate feelings and emotions with no regards that the people they are hurting are children. We will be talking about companies who are purposely trying to get children addicted to games. All of this may be very upsetting for students. The daily homework is part of processing this information. There are several videos that show children who met strangers from the internet and one about a teenager who was killed by a gaming friend. While these are scary stories they are also the reality of what this class is meant to try and prevent.
