Traveling the Information Highway
“In education circles the magical mantra has been ’student
safety.’ The fear of online predators has been used to curtail,
restrict, and prohibit the use of some of the most promising
online educational technology tools. …
As educational leaders we need to be safety conscious. We
need to be prudent, reasonable; but we won’t live in fear and
we won’t act from fear. It is by opening doors, not closing
them, that we create new possibilities for our children and
new futures for ourselves.”
Pete Reilly, Facts Abut Online Sex Abuse and Schools, Jan. 06, 2007
