Internet Safety Videos

I thought that both Internet Safety Videos had value in their own way. The first video was more of an informational video about why internet safety is important and what to do in order to ensure interent safety. In the beginning, the video seemed to be more for teachers and parents to get an understanding of why internet safety is such a concern today. At the end it provides some information for children on what to do if they are being harassed on the internet.
Although the first video provides some information regarding internet safety, I believe that the second video is a more powerful tool in understanding the dangers the internet can present. The second video shows instead of tells the audience exactly how easy it may be for a predator to trick a child into releasing information such as their address and when their parents are typically home. Overall, I felt like the first video provided some good information, but the second video is a much more effective tool in alerting parents, teachers, and children to the dangers of internet.
