The internet can be an invaluable tool for today's students. They can use it to research topics,communicate with teachers and other students, play interactive games, watch tutorial videos, and truly access the world. Unfortunately, all of that access can also pose dangers and that is why it is important for parents, teachers, and students to learn about netiquette and cyber safety.
