The Internet Is A Wonderful Resource For Students
They can use it to research school reports, communicate with teachers
and other kids, and play interactive games - they literally access the
world.
That's why it's important to be aware of what your kids see and hear on
the Internet, who they meet, and what they share about themselves
online.
Just like any safety issue, it's wise to talk with your kids about your
concerns.
Children & The Internet
Today, children are exposed to the internet at an early age
and from a variety of places. These include:
● school
● home
● friends—if your child does not have access to the internet at home,
it is likely that a friend does;
● libraries—public libraries have internet computer terminals for use
by patrons;
● public access centers
● mobile internet-enabled devices
With so many options available, children can easily access the internet.
This is why you need to prepare your children for internet safety, just
as you would for other issues such as fire, road and water safety.
Being prepared with an internet safety strategy for your children will
reduce the risk of problems occurring.
WHAT ARE CHILDREN AGED 8–11
DOING ONLINE?
Parents’ Feedback &
Responses…
 Did you learn something you didn’t know before? Or
did the clip raise any thoughts that hadn’t crossed your
mind before?
 Does anyone feel inspired to change the way you or
your kids use technology?
 Has it made you want to know more about Online
safety?
 That’s where we want to be, we want to wet your
appetite for future learning.
WHAT ARE CHILDREN AGED
8–11 DOING ONLINE?
From around 8 years old, children become increasingly interested in exploring
the internet, chatting and corresponding online. Some older children may begin
to assert their independence and look for ‘forbidden’ material. Marketers may
target them, but increasingly they learn to recognise the difference between
advertising and other material. It helps to talk to children about commercial
information and ways to deal with it. Their skills and independence will continue
to increase, but making internet exploration a family activity allows you to
maintain close supervision.
What parents can do
● Be actively involved in your child’s internet use.
● Emphasise safe online behaviour and discuss why this is needed.
● Investigate any chat rooms or online clubs that your child wants to join to
make sure they are legitimate.
● Consider using ‘filters’ to block access to internet relay chat (IRC) and
newsgroups.
● Discuss use of good cyber manners (‘netiquette’).
● Keep the computer in a public area of the home to supervise children’s use.
● Use family-friendly search engines designed for children.
“Cyberbullying involves the use of information and communication
technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behaviour by
an individual or group, that is intended to harm others”.
Bill Belsey
www.cyberbullying.ca
Examples of Cyberbullying:
 Denigration.
“Dissing” someone online. Sending or posting gossip or rumors about a person to damage his
or her reputation or friendships.
Some boys created a “We Hate Joe” Web site where they posted jokes, cartoons, gossip, and
rumors, all dissing Joe.
 Impersonation.
Pretending to be someone else and sending or posting material to get that person in trouble
or danger or to damage that person’s reputation or friendships.
Laura watched closely as Emma logged onto her account and discovered her password. Later,
Laura logged on to Emma’s account and sent a hurtful message to Emma’s other friend,
Rayan.
 Trickery.
Tricking someone into revealing secrets or embarrassing information, then sharing it online.
Katie sent a message to Jessica pretending to be her friend and asking lots of questions.
Jessica responded, sharing Really personal information. Katie forwarded the message to
others with her own comment, “Jessica is aloser.”
