“Learning happens anytime anywhere” 1.- Let’s read the different comments and determine your position towards wi-fi and the use of electronic devices with children.
Pros
Wifi is essential to our children‟s 21st Century Education. Removing it sets up even greater roadblocks to an already challenging future. The health risks and concerns being raised by the Anti-Wifi coalition are not substantiated by science, nor by the many different publicly funded regulatory bodies in Canada who are charged with ensuring the public‟s health. The alternatives proposed to address this unsubstantiated risk will incur additional, unnecessary costs on an already stressed public system
Cons
If you believe there is no scientific evidence that WiFi is harmful (especially to children) then you are not reading beyond what the Communications Industry wants you to believe. teachers should learn to teach subjects based on logic and reasoning, not how to use a programme that tells you the answer without using your brain. Computer involvement should be limited to certain classes in the daily curriculum not used all day, every day.
SIr William Stewart, a biologist said on British TV in 2007 (Panorama episode) that the rollout of Wi-Fi should stop until further testing is done.
Stewart had commissioned a report on cell towers written called “The Stewart Report” which showed some indications of cancers and cognitive issues.
So far, two Harvard educated doctors have come forward and warned about Wi-Fi. One is Dr. David O. Carpenter, director of the Institute for Health and the Environment at UAlbany‟s School of Public Health. The other is Martha R. Herbert, Ph.D., M.D. a pediatric neurologist and neuroscientist on the faculty of Harvard Medical School and on staff at the Massachusetts General Hospital.
Dr. Stephen Sinatra, board certified cardiologist, former Chief of Cardiology at the Manchester Memorial Hospital in Connecticut calls wi-fi an invisible toxin and a silent killer based and compares it to radon gas.
Are all these doctors to be ignored?
Additionally, that Panorama report has been heavily criticized for a number of reasons One criticism is that it relied heavily on information from a person who has a company that sells devices and equipment that protect you from the dangers of wifi.
Electrical pollution causes illnesses Wireless causes lack of energy, headaches, heart attacks
If your claim was even close to true, can you imagine what would happen every time there was a solar flare? We‟d be vapourised.
Why do children absorb more waves tan adults? There isn‟t a regulation that limits the production and selling of electronic devices for children. They are not toys. In some decades from now, we‟ll know how trendy is to have tumors.
If there are health concerns, the people who should decide and advise otherwise should be health authorities, not school boards. Until they say otherwise, then we owe it to our kids to give them the best learning environment we can, and that includes WiFi access.
Do you people know any physics at all? Do some research cause you sound a bit ridiculous. You‟d best remove your microwave, TV and radio from homes and schools as well. There is no evidence that any damage is caused at all in the last 100 years of using low frequency radio waves and you sound like someone who might have been afraid of the radio in your home in the 1930‟s. Further Dr. Salford who everyone on these money making
websites is using to convince people WIFI is like have a brain hemorrhage actually states this in conclusion: “We have demonstrated that microwave exposure produced an unequivocal effect on the BBB in rats. The clinical importance of this finding, however, is disputable…may be harmless to the brain, and requires further investigation”.
2.- Let’s watch some videos over the issue of wi-fi dangers. Make a summary of positive and negative consequences.
Make sure you take notes. Notebook, pen or pencil are needed
