Rights, Risks and Responsibilities:

Students and the Internet

Student access to the Internet has increased dramatically in the last few years. With this increased access comes the possibility of children's exposure to sexually explicit or violent materials. However, protecting students is only one part of the equation. Rights, Risks and Responsibility Students and the Internet describes ways that schools across the region are educating students about wise use of the Internet while providing the protections demanded by parents and policy-makers.

Keywords: acceptable-use policies, appropriate-use policies, blocking, child safety, filtering, pornography, proxy servers, schools, student safety, violence
