Internet Safety

Internet Safety and Permission (all class members must sign)
All students must read and follow these guidelines for internet safety. Also, if your parents or guardians do not allow you to go to certain sites (such as Facebook), that is okay. You must take into account their preferences and values in this assignment. There are more than enough technology activities that you can do without going to the sites your parent(s) do not value. Once you have read and understand the link, and this statement, please leave a post here with your first name and block to sign off on the permission. Thank you.
