Online safety curriculum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5kW4pI_VQw The education of e-safety covers a wide range of subjects, including: Online behaviour understanding what constitutes cyber- bullying and how to behave safely and with respect for others Protecting your online reputation understanding both the risks and rewards of sharing personal information online (your digital footprint) How to use social networking safely Understanding the reliability and validity of online information Data security keeping your personal information safe and being aware of viruses and hacking Knowing what to do if anything bad happens (e.g. you are a victim of cyber-bullying or you upload something by mistake) Well being Being online too much can cause: an increase in aggressive response from playing violent video games excessive use of computers/internet access/gaming that interferes with psychosocial wellbeing, attentional and vision problems evening use of technology that leads to disrupted sleep (and related consequences). These risks can be greatly reduced by monitoring the quantity and content of childrens use of technologies. Although the guideline provided by the AAP of two hours maximum time for screen-based entertainment (all media, including TV, combined) is a useful rule of thumb, the scheduling of this usage is also an issue. A sensible curfew on technology use is advisable, that takes into account a childs age and the need for a pre- bedtime period free of the more disruptive types of technology such as gaming.
