I got to read a few articles this week for our Internet Safety Assignment, including "Let Our Voices Be Heard" by M. Russell Ballard . I found them to be good reminders of why it is important to safeguard our family and children from the harmful influences that are found in the media. I read the assigned articles and also a couple others including one entitled "Tangled in the Web" from the Aug. 2001 Ensign, this also an attachment with tip for the internet. I know that it is very easy to get entrapped in doing things on the internet that we never intended to do. For this reason it is important to make sure we follow the guidelines for safety that have been given to us by the church. I have already tried to instill these things in my home, including making sure that the only computers are in common areas of the house and that I talk about things with my children and make sure that they are only visiting appropriate sites. I also know that we have to be careful as future teachers to make sure that our students know the sites that are alright to visit and the procedures that need to be followed.
