This week we were introduced
to the issue of cyber safety in and around the classroom. The Australian
Government has designed the Budd:e website to help students make informed decisions about their actions and
behavior when using the internet. I can relate to Miss Kate’s blog about how
thought provoking the lecture had been and how it also got me thinking that a
website is all well and good but there needs to be a carefully designed school
program in order to keep the kids safe. We both agree, Miss Kate and I that it
is a team effort between parents and teachers for full coverage of safety in
cyberspace. I don’t think we should wrap our kids in cotton wool be make them
aware of associated dangers and what sensible behavior they should have, in
relation to cyber bullying.
I thought I all my social
networking sites were set to private and that only friends I accepted could see
my details and photos but after the tutorial I was shown that you need to vigilant
with cyber-privacy and the video we were shown is concerning and thought provoking…
Thank you:
Australian Government for Budd:e and the image used above.
