Strategies for Teaching Internet Safety and Responsible Use

Editor's Notes

  • #14 By turning on the web cam layer and clicking on camera…
  • #15 I can see what is happening, what the weather is like, what the people are like all over the globe.This ‘real time’ interaction is so important for teaching young people about global citizenship, society and other cultures. One of my new technologies staff was in a school recently as he asked a student if they had used Google Earth. They told him ‘I use it recreationally, but never in school’. When the learning potential of such technology is so obvious, when the software is free – when do we have to start to question why is it not being used?
  • #24  * They personally own 8 devices (including MP3 player, PC, TV, DVD player, mobile phone, stereo, games console, and digital camera) * They frequently conduct over 5 activities whilst watching TV * 25% of them agree that “I’d rather stay at home than go on a holiday with no internet or phone access” * A quarter of young people interviewed text or IM (instant message) friends they are physically with at the time * They have on average 123 friends on their social network spaces * And the first thing the majority of them do when they get home is turn on their PC
