Updates Submitted by Monica Vincent
Update: Electronic Frontier Foundation
Location: Page 251
Suggestion: Website needs to be corrected; www.eff.org
Although the information in this chapter remains timely and useful, in recent years it's become more evident that state education departments as well as local school districts are proactively promoting the Internet’s instructional benefits while protecting students from its risks. Legislation has been passed requiring school districts to develop and enforce acceptable policies and guidelines for both teachers and students as well as installing filtering software to avoid acces to harmful material. Herein are examples of information that can be included in the next edition of this textbook. Additionally, i would recommend including additional information about bullying via instant messaging, cellphones and/or social networks.
