Childhood and adolescence is the time when they have a high keingintauan. Beginning want to try and guess keingintauan it is, our students can find information that should not be accessed, such as violence and pornography for example. Or also at home, children can sit for hours to play online games or play continuously FB all day, to forget they still have homework to do, and many other negative things.

Ladies and teachers never read or seen news kidnapping teens or fraud due to friends through social networking? Or children who are given access to the internet, could see violence on the internet? It was also one of the adverse effects that must be addressed. Hence, a lot of effort as a precautionary measure for the bad things mentioned above

2. Supervision of Internet use in schools
3. Planting awareness of good and bad use of the Internet

But the question is whether it's enough? For internet access currently to be had anywhere infinite space and time, whether we as teachers or parents can always keep an eye on our children? Not be too right?

In school too, we can limit when and how long a child can open social networks, recess only or one hour after school, in the library or in the school cafeteria alone. And as actors educational institutions, teachers will also get a detailed report to anyone who accesses, what is accessible and what time access is done. What if our students are leaving school and access it at home or at his place to hang out? Do not worry, it still can not be accessed from anywhere and everywhere koq if already installed this security.


The bottom line is with the web filtering and security, we can control and taking care of our children to find information and news alright.
