Be aware of online safety guidelines
Nowadays, most children are growing in an "Internet world". Internet is a really good resource for kids to learn and find information to increase their knowledge. It is totally different from how I learned when I was little.Technology provides an easy and convenient way for children to learn. Also, people can make friends from the Internet. There are a lot of chatting websites or apps for people chat with their friends online. However, as an educator or a parent may be concerned about the safety of their children and also their private information may get stolen. Generally, most of the websites or apps need the user provide their personal information such as real name, e-mail, and phone number etc. Some of those information may be stolen by somebody because you never knew who has view your profile. Also, parents may not aware of who their kids is talking with. Online dating is pretty common now. A person chat with a stranger online for a while, and then they will hang out. If the parents are not aware of what is happening with their children, it may cause problems like the safety of their children. Therefore, parents have responsibility to know how their kids using the Internet especially the chatting websites or apps, and teach them to use the Internet properly.
