Editor's Notes
- #3Â Have a look at this image. What are some of the thoughts that come to mind? What questions arise when you look at this picture. Take a few moments to share your thoughts with someone next to you.
- #4Â Notice that this question contains the pronoun WE. I see this we breaking down into two main categories. Adults in the school setting and adults in the home environment- anyone who is supervising children while using the internet. For students in the Elementary, it is necessary for them to be monitored while using the internet
- #5Â In the school environment, the we refers to teachers, teacher assistant and any adult who works with your child during their day at ISM.
- #6 Accounts give them limited access They can’t delete items in Student resources, they can’t download, many sites are restricted
- #7Â When students are on the computers at school it is usually related to a learning outcome set by the teacher. This year we have introduced a Netvibes site which will allow students easy access to all of the sites that are used in their classroom. This can be accessed at home just by saving the URL
- #8 These are great sites when your students want to “surf” the net All of these are also accessible on our ES Netvibes page
- #9Â Custom search engines are created ensure students are successful when researching on the internet. We are able to control which sites will be searched and can make sure that the content is age appropriate.
- #10Â Starting in grade 2 student learn to choose images that are not copyrighted/licensed under creative commons. When they do this, they are always supervised and learn to use keyword searches that will get them goo results. Students show that they are ETHICAL by citing their sources
- #11 Some grade 3 and 4 students are contributors to their teachers’ blogs. Before having access they need to learn the rules of blogging and accept these terms by signing. All posts and comments are monitored by the classroom teacher.
- #12Â There are is always at least 1 teacher with students in the lab. Usually with assistants there are up to 4 adults in the lab working with a class. All computers are arranged so we can easily see what students are working on the monitor. The classroom computers are set up this way as well. If students go to the CMC during recess the library staff is monitoring their online activity.
- #13Â In the home environment, the we refers to parents, ya-yas, helpers, and any adult supervises your child during their day at ISM.
- #18Â They could turn off the monitor, press the back arrow or minimize the window. Teach them to get an adult immediately to share what happened.
- #19 You want your child to be able to share what happened. You don’t want them to be afraid that they will get into trouble for sharing an uncomfortable online situation.
- #20 Ideally, you want to keep your child from doing a google search. ES students often misspell search terms and are taken to sites that they don’t need to be at. I can talk about this one
- #21Â Kidzui is one of the best. There is a free download where you can trial it. The content on this browser is approved by parents and teachers. There are friendly you tub videos, games, If you want to look for other options just Google, internestbrower for kids
- #22Â There are a lot of unsafe thing out there on the internet. The key is to educate your child on how to be safe, provide tools online that will keep your child safe, and supervise what your child is doing on the computer and ask a lot of questions. Think about your family and what the next steps for increasing online safety could be with in your household. Share with someone next to you.
