Math, Science, History: Games Break Boundaries Between Subjects

Math, Science, History: Games Break Boundaries Between Subjects | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Game-based learning forces students to apply knowledge in a contextualized way, it creates an interdisciplinary learning experience where subject-specific knowledge is used in a context that requires diverse applications. The borders between disciplines become fuzzy and ambiguous.

New Laws: Is it Really Up to the Government to Protect Your Kid Online?

New Laws: Is it Really Up to the Government to Protect Your Kid Online? | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

A focus on child safety is among the top state laws taking effect at the start of 2013. In many states, new laws take effect on Jan. 1, 2013

 

Now It’s Your Turn


With all this new legislation, it should be a reminder that if the government is concerned about the safety of your kids online, you should be concerned too.

 

===> It is ultimately the parents’ responsibility to protect their children both off line and online. <===

 

Gust MEES's insight:

IMHO: There is ONLY 1 solution ===> Education needs (a MUST) to teach the kids up from the early years about how to get protected, the practice!

 

I have prepared already FREE courses and advice on HowTo:

In case if that advice couldn't apply for what ever reason, here is solution 2:

 

https://gustmees.wordpress.com/2012/05/16/ideas-for-a-more-secure-internet-part2it-security-scouts-in-schools/

 

===> In ANY case, the Governement and Education SHOULD be involved, their responsibility as in e-Learning and with "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) the kids work with Internet and MUST have BEST protection and BEST protected aerea where ever they go online! <===

 

Thus meaning: Internet-Safety (theory) and Cyber-Security knowledge (practice) are a MUST to teach to the kids!

 

I will publish soon a new blog (FREE course) on HowTo explain in depth, stay tuned and follow here:

I agree that some measures are needed to protect children from the harms that can come with the internet. However, I do believe there is only so much that the government can do before it begins to affect citizens freedom. How will these new laws affect internet users? Will it be a positive move on the governments part?

I think this is a good and bad idea. I think it's by far an invasion of privacy but i also believe that it will save a lot of lives and that overrules invasion of privacy. So it's probably not a bad idea considering cyber bullying has only gotten worse.

I agree that this is a good idea for the government to keep children safe on the internet. People are becoming more violent and violating a lot of people's personal business on the internet. I believe that the internet is becoming more unsafe.
