One of the problems that can face parents and teachers of children using technologies, I think can be the over use of internet without supervision from the adults. I believe the use of Internet, cell phones, iPods and MP3 without rules made by the two parts, parents and children. These rules need to be set up according the age and context. Also, for the use of Internet, the parents need to talk with their children as well the teachers can support this practice telling the dangerous that can happen, about uploading pictures, and the usage of their real personal information. Parents also need to arrange the use of the computers with schedules related with their school assignments and some social sharing under the rules arrange between parents and children.
On the other hand, I think is very important to put the computer in a social place of the house, not in the bedrooms of the children that might help to avoid the misuse of Internet, for example going to pages not built for children or people underage need to be block and have a conversation why is not correct to go on this pages.
While I was thinking about the problems I look up some information in Internet, and I found a research about how many parents have rules with their children for the use of technologies. For that reason I believe that the problems related with the use of technologies need to have rules how and when to use it.

This is the link of the research that I mentioned before.
I also found this article very interesting
Rules and clear communication among all members of the community are definitely important. In personal experience and articles I read in my search, I find evidence of parents using technology as a babysitter. Too many parents do not provide proper supervision in any form; with technology or daily activities. Your blog is right on.
