Week 5 significant quote:  "Any time you supply Internet access to minors, you share the responsibility of preventing them from accessing inappropriate material--especially the stuff that comes up accidentally" (Culbert, 2009). In our district, we also have students and parents sign and "Acceptable Use" policy at the beginning of the year. If they don't have one, they don't get to use the Internet at school. The policy explains what is expected of students using Internet access and what happens to them if they do not adhere to the rules. I think this takes some of the burden off of the school and teachers as well as the responsibility to constantly watch students using the internet.   Ullman, E. (2009, July 23).
