In chapter 1 of our textbook, there was a paragraph on internet violence and the hazards of the internet in schools. This brought up the interesting point of how do we protect our children? Do we firewall websites based on subject and keyword? but if this is our answer, will we eventually cripple our youth? will they be unable to research a report on breast cancer because the word "breast" is in the title? This proves many obstacles for educators now and in the future.
Since last class I have learned a few things such as the names of certain computer related things that I am familiar with but didn't necessarily know the name of. I also learned just more basic foundational information on computers that will add to my expertise on technology for now on.
Today has been a trying day, I woke up at 6 a.m. showered, and went to work. I work at the Starbucks in Strozier Library, then I had to run from there to here so that I could make it to class more or less on time. Then after class I have to go to Bill's Bookstore to get a textbook for the other class I'm taking so that I can start on the tremendous amount of homework that I have already accumulated. Sigh, I can't wait for bedtime! :)

Sounds like you have been busy already with classes just starting and i can deffinitely relate to that. Summer session goes by so fast and i feel like we get bombarded with everything at once. Good luck with your time management and try not to stress out!
I think that the questions that you bring up in your first paragraph have probably been a plague upon parenthood long before the web was a factor. It's a Catch-22...you want your kids to know what's out there, and how to deal with it, but when are they really ready to be faced with that stuff? I certainly don't profess to know the answer, yet.
Anyway, good luck managing the summer workload. Starbucks employees are always appreciated, since coffee is usually what keeps me running day-to-day.
