It also covers cyberbullying and tips for parents to educate children and monitor their internet usage, such as keeping computers in open areas and communicating openly about online activities. A list of additional resources and websites for internet safety information is also included.
Children's online safety is protecting children's personal information from online criminals. Children use the internet for social media, messaging, gaming and mobile apps. Issues that can affect children include cyberbullying, sexting, online grooming, and revealing private information. Parents can educate children, use privacy settings, install filters, and monitor online activity. Uganda has laws against child pornography, trafficking, and failing to report related crimes. The presentation outlines risks, solutions, and legal frameworks for protecting children online.
This document discusses the relationship between children and the internet. It notes that while social media allows parents to share information about their children, children may view this as an invasion of privacy as they get older. Additionally, exposing children to the internet at a young age can pose risks like interacting with online predators, cyberbullying, and accessing inappropriate content. While the internet provides educational benefits, parents must closely monitor and guide their children's online activities.
This document discusses the increasing prevalence of technology use among students and argues that schools should embrace students bringing their own technology, such as cell phones, into the classroom. It notes that most students now own cell phones and other mobile devices, which they use frequently outside of school for communication, research, social networking, and games. However, schools have been slow to incorporate these tools into learning. The document outlines several benefits of allowing student technology, including improved access, skills that employers desire, and alignment with how digital natives prefer to learn. It also addresses common concerns around distraction, cheating, and privacy, arguing that current banning policies are not effective and students need education on appropriate usage.
The document discusses research on how students actually use the internet for educational purposes more than assumed. A study of over 1,000 students found that 71% use social networking at least weekly, with 96% using it for social purposes, and they spend almost as much time online as watching TV. The internet is used for discussing schoolwork more than downloading music. While cyberbullying affects many teens, students are online for social and educational reasons more than assumed.

Protecting Your Children's Online Experience Lisa McKenzie ★
Lisa McKenzie presented on protecting children's online experiences. She outlined 14 steps parents can take, including having open conversations about privacy, reviewing and adjusting privacy settings, limiting personal information shared, and using parental controls and monitoring tools. The presentation emphasized maintaining open communication and establishing trust so children feel comfortable discussing online activities.
This document discusses cyberbullying and social networks. It defines cyberbullying as verbal abuse or threats via electronic means such as social media, emails, or texts. The causes of cyberbullying include lack of parental supervision, depression, and substance abuse issues in teens. The consequences can include depression, lower school performance, damaged reputation, and in some cases suicide. To prevent cyberbullying, parents should monitor their children's technology use and establish rules. Social networks can be both harmful by reducing face-to-face interactions and replacing them with online connections, or useful by enabling information sharing and relationship building. However, social media also enables the spread of false information and can be linked to lower grades in heavy users.

Relieved your kids aren't posting embarrassing messages and goofy self-portraits on Facebook?
They're probably doing it on Instagram and Snapchat instead.
The number of popular social media sites available on kids' mobile devices has exploded in recent
years. The smartest apps now enable kids to chat informally with select groups of friends without
bumping up against texting limits and without being monitored by parents, coaches and college
admissions officers, who are frequent Facebook posters themselves.
Many of the new mobile apps don't require a cellphone or a credit card. They're free and can be
used on popular portable devices such as the iPod Touch and Kindle Fire, as long as there's a
wireless Internet connection.
According to the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project, more than three-fourths
of teenagers have a cellphone and use online social networking sites such as Facebook. But
educators and kids say there is plenty of anecdotal evidence to suggest that Facebook for teenagers
has become a bit like a school-sanctioned prom - a necessary rite of passage with plenty of adult
onlookers - while apps such as Snapchat and Kik Messenger are the much cooler after-party.
Educators say they have seen everything from kids using their mobile devices to circulate online
videos of school drug searches to male students sharing nude pictures of their girlfriends. Most
parents, they say, have no idea.
"What sex education used to be - it's now the `technology talk' we have to have with our kids," said
Rebecca Levey, a mother of 10-year-old twin daughters who runs a tween video review site called
KidzVuz.com and blogs about technology and educations issues.
Eileen Patterson, a stay-at-home mom of eight kids in Burke, Va., said she used to consider herself
fairly tech savvy and is frequently on Facebook, but was shocked to learn her kids could message
their friends with just an iPod Touch. She counts nine wireless devices in her home and has taken to
shutting off her home's Wi-Fi after 9 p.m., but Patterson calls her attempt to keep tabs on her kids'
online activity "a war I'm slowly losing every day."
"I find myself throwing up my hands every now and again," Patterson said. "Then I'll see something
on TV or read an article in the paper about some horrible thing that happened to some poor child
and their family, and then I try to be more vigilant. But the reality is, I'm ...stupid" when it comes to
social media.
Mobile apps refer to the software applications that can be downloaded to a mobile device through an
online store such as Apple's iTunes. According to the Federal Trade Commission, there are some
800,000 apps available through Apple and 700,000 apps on Google Play.
Among the most popular mobile apps among kids is Instagram, free software that digitally enhances
photos and posts them to your account online. The photos can be shared on other social media sites
2. such as Facebook, which bought Instagram last year. Then there's Snapchat, among the top 10 free
iPhone apps available. Coined by the media as the "sexting" app, Snapchat lets you send a text,
photo or video that self-destructs within 10 seconds of being opened.
Kik Messenger also allows unlimited texting for free and offers anonymity to its users. Able to run on
an iPod Touch or Kindle Fire, Kik allows vague user names - for example, a nickname or a string of
random digits - that won't reveal a person's real name or phone number.
But as with anything online, each of these apps comes with serious caveats.
Snapchat, for example, acknowledges on its Web page that its messages aren't guaranteed to
disappear: Anyone receiving a text or photo can use their 10 seconds to capture a "screenshot," or
photo of their device's screen, and save that image to their phone. Video also can be downloaded,
although Snapchat says it alerts senders when their data is saved.
Instagram is generally considered pretty tame as long as kids adjust their privacy settings to limit
who can see their photos and don't post nudity, which could subject them to child pornography laws.
But Levey points out that many parents don't know their kids are on Instagram until there's trouble -
usually when kids post photos at parties, and other kids who aren't invited see them.
Dale Harkness, a technology director at Richmond-Burton Community High School in Richmond, Ill.,
said parents often will hand their kids a mobile device without understanding exactly what it can do.
He estimates that even without the latest social media app, the average high school student
probably transmits some 150 texts a day.
"It's not anything that every parent and grandparent hasn't already seen," Harkness said. The
problem, he adds, is the actions "get documented, replayed and sent around," and kids "forget how
fast it moves and how far it goes."
That was the case at Ridgewood High School in Ridgewood, N.J., where a male student allegedly
took a screenshot of nude pictures sent to him by female classmates via Snapchat, then posted the
pictures on Instagram. According to a letter to parents by the school district's superintendent that
was later posted online, police were warning students to delete any downloaded pictures by Monday
or face criminal charges under child pornography laws.
There are general security concerns too. A recent report by a cyberthreat research company, called
F-Secure, found that some of the new social networking sites have become ripe targets for spreading
malware and propagating scams.
In January, the FBI arrested a 27-year-old man in Los Angeles who allegedly hacked into hundreds of
social media and email accounts, including Facebook and Skype, and found naked photos and
personal passwords that women had stored online. He used the naked photos to try to coerce women
into disrobing for him via Skype and threatened to post their private photos to their Facebook
accounts if they refused to comply, according to the indictment.
Also worth noting is that almost every mobile app available collects some kind of personal data, such
as a person's birthdate or the location of their phone, and shares that information with third parties
for marketing purposes. While a new regulation by the Federal Trade Commission this year is aimed
at keeping advertisers from tracking kids younger than 13, most social media apps require that a
person promise to be at least 13 when they sign up, thereby exempting themselves from the tougher
privacy restrictions.
