Internet Safety Assignment

I read all the articles and I can see the great importance in Internet safety, a unit in my health class is about informing my students about the media. I look forward to showing them proper search engines and how to find correct information.
I thought the counsel from M. Russell Ballard was striking and important when he said that the media has the influence to tear families apart.
I really appreciated what Elder Bednar said about technology being a good thing, but it should also be controlled. The spirit can only stay with us when we are in tune of its actions, I liked the idea that Satan is more easily invited in when technology is so easily available.
The guidelines about pornography were things that I had never thought about before. Even though I do not have a family yet I know that I can follow those guidelines. They were good procedures that I can implement and also teach my future students.
I have become more aware of my communication style from the article that I read. I was surprised at the things i notice I say quite a lot and the wrong impact it may have on my students.
As a Young women's Leader I thought that it would be helpful to find an article that helped my students out. I found an article entitled "Hows your media diet-harmful or helpful?" It was very interesting, it had checklists and quotes from President Hinkley. I also liked the questions that it gave for people to ask themselves, I can even use them in my classroom for instance: Are you informed on what you are searching?
I know that I can influence my family and friends by being a example of the guidelines in all of the articles. By doing this it means I can share my knowledge with others of what I have learned.
