THE INTERNET OF THINGS OR WHAT I GOT FOR XMAS…

5 THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT THE IOT

WE CANNOT ESCAPE THE FUTURE Our children are growing up in a world that is changing faster than at any time in history.

The technology already present was not around when we were children. It has impacted on social and family life and even affected brain physiology.

The internet of things is already here. Cameras and microphones track you walking on the street, driving, when you shop, using phones and social media, browsing smart TVs and the internet – basically data about you is being collected and shared almost constantly.

We owe it to ourselves to keep up with and understand the technological world in which we are raising our children.

TECHNOLOGY- THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY

USING INTERNET & TECHNOLOGY IS LIKE GOING SWIMMING:

Teaching a child to interact safely online is a lot like taking them swimming. The two processes follow the same stages:

•Choose a safer environment (be it a pool with a lifeguard or a device with filtering)

•Teach them how to keep themselves safe (how to swim or to ‘surf the ‘net’), making sure they know the dangers (hidden currents and drowning or scams and predators)

•Finally – let them go on their own only when you feel they are ready to face the big, bad world out there…

THREE MAIN POINTS

Children can be very tech savvy

Children do not necessarily have experience to judge risk

The digital world can seem as important as the real world

WHAT IS E-SAFETY

‘All users of ICT should be able to do so safely and responsibly without limiting their creativity’

Hiltingbury Junior School guidelines to ensure the privacy and safety of members of our school

community:

Pupils should only be referred to by their first names on our web pages

Any images of pupils should not be labelled with their full names without prior written consent of parent.

Records of permission levels referring to use of pupil images are regularly updated for all staff to access.

Pupils and staff should not reveal their personal details, home addresses & telephone numbers on the web

or in dialogue with other Internet users.

A random selection of pupil E-mail is regularly monitored (weekly).

E-mail is restricted to the school's domain, so children can only email within this.

Pupils must not engage in dialogue or conversation with other Internet users without permission from a

teacher. We record all online conversations within Google Classroom, including use of comment

functions in shared documents.

Search Engines used by the pupils offer a filtered list of links and children are taught how to use these.

Any pupil finding themselves uncomfortable or upset by anything they discover on the Internet should report

it to a teacher immediately. (SLBR - Stop it, Lock it, Block it and report it)

Downloading of files is restricted to staff (or pupils under supervision).

Use of Google Apps in Education, including Mail, Classroom, Sites and Drive is monitored by teachers and

the IT Technician.

G-SUITE FOR EDUCATION

Social media is NOT

necessarily ‘bad’ in

itself. Nor is it

avoidable in the world

in which our children

are growing up.

HJS children get the

opportunity to explore

the concept using a

‘closed’ and monitored

version through Google

Apps

A parent at this years evening also raised the very real potential dangers of physical addiction, specifically in

relation to social networking. We need as adults to model when is an appropriate time and place to use phones,

twitter, whatsapp, facebook, instagram etc.

Children are NOT ALLOWED to use most social networking sites .This is because any data uploaded is

collected by and owned by the network, which under US law it is illegal to collect about children under 13. As a

user of a social network you are not a ‘consumer’ – networks make their money by gathering data about you and

selling it .

CHROMEBOOKS

Like a laptop but uses only Google Apps via the Chrome browser and online applications.

Keep your personal gmail account separate from your childrens school gmail account – our safety settings will override yours.

See our video helpfiles online if you accidentally join your accounts together.

Photos and video in school

● These images are regularly

deleted.

● Photos are not uploaded from

personal devices in school

(because photos taken on personal

phones etc are often geotagged)

● If a child does not have photo

permission, we may have to avoid

taking pictures of the whole

class/group during trips etc.

● At present, in school

concerts/shows, we request

parents to only photo/film their own

child and to respect the rights and

wishes of others.

BE SMART!

S

Safe STOP and THINK Will the information you share keep you safe?

M

Meeting STOP and THINK Are your online friends who they say they are?

A Accepting STOP and THINK How do you know files and pictures are safe?

R Reliable STOP and THINK How do you know that people or pages aren’t lying?

T

Tell STOP and THINK Who can you tell if you feel uncomfortable about something online?

We teach children that not everything they see online is true or reliable…

FILE SHARING

We teach children how to share documents and collaborate, but also to respect copyright.

It is illegal to upload or download copyrighted files including pictures, music and films.

We emphasise the moral implications; just because you CAN do something online, doesn’t mean that you should.

Over-sharing...

CYBERBULLYING

Can be done by anyone to anyone

Occurs via text message, email, through social networking & youtube comment features, online gaming (eg XBox, Club Penguin, Minecraft) blogging…

Can be blocked

Is against the law…

Spotting the signs because children may not tell you - see tips on our school

website under esafety

Possible signs that may point to a cyberbullying or online vulnerability to

radicalisation:

Unexplainable injuries

Lost or destroyed clothing, books, electronics, or jewelry

Frequent headaches or stomach aches, feeling sick or faking illness

Changes in eating habits, like suddenly skipping meals or binge eating. Kids may come home from school

hungry because they did not eat lunch.

Difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares

Declining grades, loss of interest in schoolwork, or not wanting to go to school

Sudden loss of friends or avoidance of social situations

Feelings of helplessness or decreased self esteem

Self-destructive behaviors such as running away from home, harming themselves, or talking about suicide

Core advice: If you suspect any of these, don’t ignore the problem. Discuss it straight

away with the Child Protection Officer.

GROOMING

•Children do not know who they are talking to

•Images and information once on the internet can be hard to remove

•Children can be pressurised, cajoled and persuaded into doing things they may regret.

•Children may be too embarrassed or frightened to seek help.

Minecraft

• Fantastic, creative, educational game.

• Be aware of the differences between single and multiplayer modes

• Consider paying for a realm.

• See parental controls support at http://www.minemum.com/

ADDICTION? How often does your child;

Check their texts/emails?

Check instagram / social networks?

Play games?

Use your password?

Use technology after bedtime?

Switch off technology and play outside?

This is a very real problem and is a real physical addiction – google your router or broadband providers

website to set up parental controls, which can even be set up separately for each device. Use timer settings so

children cannot access at night. Prevent rather than cure!

What we do to keep children safe in school

We listen to your suggestions as parents and experts too!

WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP KEEP MY CHILD SAFE?

• Talk to your child about how they use technology.

• Do not be intimidated by technology you may not fully understand

• Install and switch on parental controls (Do a search online for your router or your broadband provider for the latest info on how to do this for your particular devices. It is much easier than it used to be!)

• Supervise use until you are happy they are responsible

• Follow the SMART code and refer to SLBR

• See year group websites and/or Hiltingbury Junior school websites for more links and support.
