Internet+Saftey+Concerns+and+iCarly,+Brendan+Reynolds

With iCarly being such a ground breaking show for kids these days by using so many different forms of technology, the issue of internet safety is a concerning one. The show is based around an online web program that can be viewed by anyone in the world at anytime. While iCarly shows all the good that new technology has with it, does it address the bad and does it teach kids and teens how to deal with issues that might arise from online predators or other issues that come with the internet??

For my research I plan to take both an online research approach as well as a strong content analysis to see if and what iCarly is doing to teach kids how to deal with many issues than can come from all the good the internet has to offer. Internet safety is a huge concern that needs to be addressed by shows more often to teach kids what is good and bad on the world wide web. After compiling all my research I hope to find that iCarly is showing ways to deal with internet safety, however if I am unable to I will compose strategies to work internet safety into the show.

If you collaborate with Caitlin, then you can watch and analyze a whole lot of episodes and produce a really impressive piece of original research.
