Using the internet in your everyday life can be fun as there are so many things accessible through this resource. As our society continues to utilize online forms as a primary method of accessibility, it is important to be familiar with how to use it. Though it can be a great time, it is very important that just like other things in our lives, the internet requires forms of etiquette and has rules associated with it to keep you safe. With this being said, it is crucial for students (and also parents) to know the guidelines for browsing the web safely.
Websites that are great to use for our academic environment should have specific characteristics. These include the website having accuracy, authority, objectivity, currency and coverage. Ensuring that everything on that website is up to date and that it is being worked on consistently is a key factor to knowing if it is beneficial for you to use. Students should always use reputable sources when conducting research. Similarly, they must properly credit any piece of information they use that was not originally theirs. Plagiarism is a very serious topic in today’s society, so giving individuals credit for their work should always be a priority. Please visit this link for more information on plagiarism and this citation generator to help you properly cite and credit. These tools can also be found at the bottom of the page.
Additionally, everything that can be found on the internet is open to the public, so the same goes for anything that you decide to post as well. This is a big reason as to why you should not post any specific private information on the internet without understanding what could happen if others obtain that information. It could be tricky, if not near impossible, to ever get information completely deleted from the web. With everything mentioned above, please use the links and tools provided to learn more about the web so that you all can be safe while practicing with this resource.
