Cyber safety: At home and in school
Check out the link below. It is a fantastic article about cyber safety! The London Police Service has created a 75 minute presentation about cyber safety and has been presenting it to Grade 6 students in the area. They also did a presentation for parents during Crime Prevention week to help educate parents about the potential dangers the internet holds for children when unsupervised and offered suggestions for parents to ensure their children are safe when online. One of the focus points of the presentation for the students is "cyber bullying" which is on a steady rise. Through these types of sites, children are threatened, harassed and ridiculed. Pictures can also easily be posted on these sites which leads to the next topic of discussion during the presentation which is online predators. I think this is definitely something to further educate ourselves about as both parents and teachers.
