What do you think students should be taught when working online to avoid problems?
Students should use the internet but at the same time they must learn how to use it safely and acquire the necessary skills needed to work online and avoid problems. Of course technology with all its wide meanings is a marvelous thing from which students can benefit a lot in their learning yet at the same time if used improperly it might lead them to slip up and encounter unwanted consequences.
First students should learn how to become good digital citizens. In fact schools should start on working on including in their curriculum digital citizenship and teach it to to their students. From another hand, kids must work online under their parents' supervision. Honesty and dedication of the students' themselves are very important. They must also know how to verify safe sites and use those that are proper to their age only.
Through awareness, proper online education and by practicing online safety students can learn how to work in a safe online environment far away from problems and free from harmful situations that they might encounter such as cyberbullying and other negative challenges. In fact we have to enrich in them as much as possible the positive aspects of using technology with all its beneficial sides and motivate them towards that.
Good points of view, I agree that there should be cooperation between parents and teachers because the responsibility lies on both and online pop ups might make many problems in the character of the student and they really need a control to achieve the good digital citizenship.
