Students today are faced with many internet and computer issues - some threatening and some not. Some threatening issues are: cyber bullying, adult chat rooms, online sexual predators, etc. Some other non-threatening issues are: lack of access to computers or having, say, a Mac whose internet program is not necessarily compatible with all internet explorer websites and programs.
Filters, guidelines, etc. are some helpful things that schools and teachers can do to help guard students from threatening internet issues. As for the other issues, there is often not much that educators can do to help, other than encourage use of public library computers, etc. Also - if as a teacher I knw that there are students in my class with limited or no computer savvy or access, then I can give assignments with alternate choices that do not necessarily need computers.
