Safety
As cited in Richardson’s (2010)(p.20) book: Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms, “there are continuing stories in the media heralding the dangers of blogs as resources for predators, and about teenagers divulging too much of themselves (in text and photo) online.” Teenagers or children don’t think of the dangers there are out there on the web and post information that could lead predators to their front door without them even thinking about it. Children just stay off the web to avoid such dangers.
