After completing this lesson, teachers should have a better understanding of the risks that exist and be better equipped to handle these risks or teach their students about these risks. In today’s classroom, students are using computers, visiting websites, and doing so many things that utilize technology and internet connectivity, so it is vital that we, as educators, have a precise understanding of the things that are being introduced to our students. This lesson plan aims to do just that.

As we become more and more technologically advance, it is becoming very common for students to spend considerable amounts of time utilizing the internet as an educational tool and research mechanism. While we would like for all students to stay on task and out of harm’s way, conventional wisdom tells us that this is not always going to be the case. In order to protect our students, I think we must first educate our teachers about the dangers and risks of the internet and then explain things that can be done to combat those dangers and risks.

Students that are not educated on the risks and dangers of the internet are far more likely to fall victim to these risks than students that are well equipped for an online environment. To that end, I think the same thing can be said about educators. If educators know what to look for and what to do in various situations, they can work to ensure that their students are not engaging sites or even people online that could be potentially dangerous to them.
