Internet Safety & Digital Citizenship

Safety & Citizenshipis essentially

Today’s Topics

• Real-world vs. digital more similarities than differences.

• The rules at school.

• Threat and responses.

• Question time.

“people these days never look

up from their devices to talk to

each other”

“heads bent down looking at

screens are creating a wave

of neck and back problems”

Here at school• N4L. Filtering and record keeping/reporting.

• http://www.n4l.co.nz/managednetwork/websafetyandsecurity/ (some issues here are tonight’s theme).

• In the open, not blocked away, e.g. Facebook. Primary school is a great place to ‘mess-up’.

• Dignity in the future, Google Apps managed services.

• Hapara: the missing link (and a kiwi product)

The simple content rule

“If I would not feel comfortable with my principal, my teacher or my

parents seeing it, then I should not be looking at it”

Know the stage of brain development we are dealing with

Avoid this sort of confrontation. All of the adolescent brain research shows it does not work.

Best advice is the rehearse responses before needed.

This is why the ‘Ghost Chips’ advert works so well. Its is brain based - not shock based.
