The Internet and Social Safety among Elementary Kids
Internet and social media usage become inevitable and beneficial for children in every aspects of life. Children have subsequently been exposed, entertained, educated as well as socialized by the internet. As the world becomes more digitalized, more researches are done in order to determine whether or not the internet is beneficial for children. Even though many researches that are conducted on the effectiveness of internet and social media usage have shown that there are more advantages, there are still considerable negative sides. In this essay, I will attract attention to increased utilization of the internet and social media among the kids can groom them if the harmful sides of the internet usage be avoided. (Short intro please add some more)
With increased internet usage, particularly new discoveries of more educative websites that are rated children-friendly, internet become an educational tool. Children are able to ensure the knowledge necessary for expansive learning. Internet presents avenues for visual learning as young children are attracted to diagrams, images as well as photos that are academically designed to empower and enhance learning. This has presented the children with an opportunity to gain valuable knowledge as they learn and develop ability to navigate and do research work at early stages (Resources in Education 76). The result of this is reflected in the academic ability of the children as they grow based on the increased capability to understand search engines needed for particular data retrievals. Such children further develop interest and become good researchers in the future as they undergo the education ladder. They become brighter as they explore the massive relevant information from the peer-reviewed articles as well as books.
Internet is a great tool for children to learn more not only for academic success, but also for self-improvement. Many educative websites allows kids to get help for their schoolwork. One example would be Mathway, a websites that solves math problems and explain the answers. Grammarly is another website that helps students to fix their grammatical errors. Internet also helps students to improve themselves in many different ways. There are many tutorial videos on YouTube that can teach kids many different skills.
Internet is an important instrument for children to gather new information. It is also positive for the foreign students as internet has enabled them to use Google Translations to understand English. Children have also benefited from diverse knowledge and skills available on the internet sources besides being positively enlightened through games played, which has led to generation and incubation of relevant ideas (Dixon, Brian, and Julie 122). Children have found it easy to navigate the personal computers and to obtain necessary project information necessary for their class works.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
4. Digital Natives People born after 1980 are known as “Digital Natives” They only know a world that is digital First generation to live cradle to grave in the digital era
7. They don’t distinguish between their online and offline identities.Digital Natives feel as comfortable in online spaces as they do in offline spaces

17. What is a Digital Dossier? Do your students have one?
18. Your digital dossier is anything in a digital format regarding "you" - a compilation of your digital tracks. And YES, Your Students Have One!!
19. From the time a child of today is in their mother's womb their dossier has begun to form.
20. Not only has it formed, but they have no control over it. "Individuals are losing control of this information because the data-collection practices of corporations, among others, are changing at a rate that is faster than the rate of change for society's methods of protecting the data." (Palfrey & Gasser)
21. Digital dossiers contain not only information you yourself have shared, but information others create about you as well.
22. So what happens when our teens loose control of their dossiers? What happens to their identity? Can they damage their public persona for prospective colleges and employers? "Most young people are extremely likely to leave something behind in cyberspace that will become a lot like a tattoo - something connected to them that they cannot get rid of later in life, even if they want to, without a great deal of difficulty." (Palfrey & Gasser)
23. We must teach our teens the concept of this "digital tattoo.” That what you put online can be permanent and damaging.
24. It is our job, as educators and parents to teach our students about their dossier and protect them from the negative effects it can have on their identities.
25. We need to show them how to protect themselves by protecting their
32. In this period of transformation, parents and teachers need to take on greater responsibility for helping Digital Natives make the right choices about their privacy.
33. Today’s youth must also protect themselves from each other. Bullying has always been a issue faced by children and today’s online environment makes it even easier. And now kids must also face being bullied anonymously. http://www.flickr.com/photos/izzymunchted/1419115048/
34. Cyberbullying has become a big issue for digital natives in recent years. Cyberbullies use email, IM, texting, social networking sites and even online gaming to harass their victims. http://www.flickr.com/photos/zzclef/3052656083/

52. Information Overload How much information is too much? In 2008, U.S. households consumed approximately 3.6 zettabytes of information. Every year, the amount of digital information grows more rapidly than the year before.
53. Information overload occurs when the amount of information available exceeds a person’s ability to process it.
54. Digital Natives experience information overload. They also contribute to it by the amount of information they produce.
55. A survey of elementary school students showed that at least 80 percent of fourth-grade and eighth-grade students have experienced information overload.
68. Search Engines Allow users to locate content based on self-defined search terms Help determine relevance of information without reading the whole page
69. RSS Feeds Users subscribe to news, blogs, or social networking sites for updates all on one page Eliminates need to continually check favorite sites for new information and updates
70. Recommendation Systems Use collaborative filtering to recommend information based on previous selections Save time because users don’t have to look through millions of options to find what they like
71. Filtering Spam filters in email, within search engines, and within RSS readers help eliminate irrelevant or unwanted information Saves user the time they’d have to spend going through things they don’t want or need to see
72. Tagging Lets users put customized virtual labels on sites Helps manage information and prevent overload by keeping information organized
73. Education is key in helping Digital Natives cope with information overload.
74. What can parents do to help? Raise kids’ awareness of information overload so they can learn tools and strategies to avoid it Help kids’ distinguish when multitasking might be harmful to learning Pay attention to kids’ online behavior – talk to them about where they go and what they’re looking for Lead by example: show how kids how you deal with information overload
