Discussion Submission
During your reading, you learned about different laws protecting children's online information including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, the Children's Internet Protection Act, and the Family Educational Rights and Protection Act.
For this discussion, please conduct additional research and consider the following questions in your response:
- Why are children more at risk online?
- How does current legislation work to protect children? Provide examples.
- What could you teach children to help them be safer online?
Regarding your response to your classmates:
Please highlight a new facet to build on what your classmate stated, add to the conversation, or find an alternative viewpoint and support your response with citations. It's important to have more than "I agree" or "good point," when responding!
A reminder about conference discussion at the Master's level:
Try to complete your initial post early during the conference week (no later than Day 3 of the week) and plan to continue dialogue with your classmates throughout the remainder of the week. Think of our online conversations as discussion in a traditional classroom. Remember, the intent of our conference discussion is to take the conversation to the Master's level.
In addition, posting early has its benefits. You have the opportunity to state your original thoughts without worrying that you are saying the same things that a classmate has already stated.
