Inappropriate Use of Digital Media

Bethany Mallory
I understand that there are a variety of ways that digital media can be used inappropriately. I have been frustrated by the vulgar and hurtful text messages that my children have received.  I am a high school teacher so I have been witnessed or been involved in the hurt and anger that my students have experienced by mean and cutting text messages.  However, when my 3rd grader daughter was send a message with the f-word and a hate message, I was thrown. My daughter was using the family iPad and a classmate of her was frustrated with my daughter so she sent a text through iMessage.  I was disappointed that this gift I had purchased for the family was bringing such hurt and frustration into my home.  It is one of the reasons that I believe strongly in helping students be educated about appropriate use of digital media.

Wow, third grade.  As a parent, I would want to think my child would not do such a thing.  They are so tech saavy at such a young age.
