Social and Legal Issues

There are many issues involved with the use of technology in the classroom. I think one issue that is very important is the use of filters and what information students should have access to on the Internet. It is important to protect students from inappropriate and inaccurate information, but it is also important to allow access to useful information. It is difficult to know where to draw the line between too much and too little protection. I think one way to do this correctly is to provide heavy protection to younger students and to allow more and more freedom as the students get older and more mature. It is important to educate the students on the proper use of the Internet, so whatever information they encounter it is handled appropriately.
