Protecting children and teens online, June is Internet Safety Month

Protecting children and teens online, June is Internet Safety Month | UpTo12-Learning | Scoop.it
June is National Internet Safety Month. But who is making sure our children are safe online?

 

Five million social media users are under the age of 10 years old, and 51% have given out personal information online to strangers. Out of all teenagers, 95% have been online and 80% use social media, where peer pressure can prompt them to post personal information and photos to strangers when they update their status online.

 

===> Only 10% of these teens ever talk with a parent about the internet!!! <===

Students Blogging Safely Online 

Students Blogging Safely Online  | UpTo12-Learning | Scoop.it

My students are now blogging online! It’s quite exciting. We started by working through the blogging concept and process using paper blogs and a week later, we put those same ideas on our class blog.

 

But first, we needed to make sure we were safe! In fact, I first had to have multiple meetings with my principal, the technology teacher and integration specialist – understandably so! This is a big step when it’s the first time young students will be putting themselves out there. But I made a few assurances that using kidblog.org would be safe. First, I designed this go around so that all the students’ posts would only go live after I approved them. I also made certain that would be the case for all the comments. In addition, I created our classes blog so that the posts would only be viewable by our classmates when they are logged on. In other words, it’s a closed blog.

 

No one can see our posts, just us.

How to Teach Internet Safety to Younger Elementary Students

How to Teach Internet Safety to Younger Elementary Students | UpTo12-Learning | Scoop.it
Mary Beth Hertz (@mbteach on Twitter) is an elementary computer teacher in Philadelphia, PA and a regular blogger on Edutopia. You can read more of her work on her own blog at Philly-teacher.

 

With children spending time online at younger and younger ages, it is vital that we explicitly teach young children how to protect themselves online. Most young children get the "Stranger Danger" talk at school, so they know about how to handle strangers in their neighborhood and in face-to-face situations.

 

Gust MEES: check out also my courses and ideas on How-To IT-Security could get taught to kids and also adults: they are in French, use translation tools please...
