Hi all, a bit over a year ago, we (NSW DET - Sydney Region) ran a series of Internet Safety seminars for parents which were really well received. All the details are here: http://www.sydneyr.det.nsw.edu.au/internetsafety/ If anyone would like the actual PPT show that went with it, just let me know.

I went through the module on setting up a personal web page (eg myspace) and it goes through each section eg filing in your name, selecting friends, selecting pictures and explains how to do it safely. Seemed very good.

Hi All, Cyber bullying has become a big part of childrens lives. It is great to create an awareness of this and educate people on this topic. Especially educators and children taking part in online learning.

As is usually the case, dana boyd the well known researcher into social networking on the internet has sensible things to say about bullying online, and why we shouldn't call it cyber bullying. "In some senses, I'm glad that adults can see what terrible things take place amongst peer groups, but I'm unbelievably frustrated by how most of those adults emphasize the CYBER rather than the BULLYING. It's as if the internet is the cause of the bullying. The internet does not cause bullying, but it does MIRROR and MAGNIFY bullying." See the Link to her blog where this quote comes from.

For those interested in this topic it is well worth the time to view some of the videos in the Links from US Internet Caucus on youth victimization: they expert panelists provided evidence about the youth at risk largely being 'risk-takers' who's behaviour is unlikely to be influenced by barriers and bans. A more sophisticated and educative approach is needed, they say.
