'Tis a sticky web we weave...

So, our latest assignment was to create a concept web of issues and concerns regarding Web Awareness. After scanning through all the info, I managed to pull out a lot of infomation I found to be relevant, and created my web as such. It looks busy, but that's just because there are a lot of topics.

What I got from this assignment was that, as teachers, we have to be very aware of what we expose our students to, and how to guide them on the internet so that they keep themselves safe. Companies will use websites (theirs or affiliated) to market their products towards visitors, websites that have an 'age restriction' in place are very easy to get around, and not everything you see is true, no matter how authentic it looks.
