= = ====I am currently teaching an Introduction to Internet class and it is rather shocking in the amount of people that have no clue about securities and dangers of the web. Some do not have anti virus, most do not know what spy ware is, and most do not understand things like digital foot prints or tracking cookies. It is important that people understand ethics and security measures for the web to stay safe and help protect others. ====

 * This YouTube video illustrates digital footprint awareness. How does Google know I live in Hot Springs? How does Google automatically know I like to fish? HUH? Could it be my footprints of where I have searched? **

** This video gives an interesting perspective on the web and how it has progress in its early stages. How will it continue to develop? Video is a little old but still interesting. ** media type="custom" key="7606323" align="center"


 * One of the biggest integration tools for the classroom would be the use of online learning platforms such as Blackboard or ANGEL. Many of these resources offer discussion forums, links, assessment tools, online search tools, etc. If your school does not have any of these resources, then you must resort to other measures. Learning the use of blogs and wikis will definitely increase the amount of online use in your classroom. **
