Throughout their schooling your daughter will: • Learn how to effectively use Office programs (eg Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher etc) • Use the Internet for research, communication (eg email, messaging, discussions etc) • Website creation and multimedia (eg videos, animations, sounds etc)

  7. Student Acceptable Use Policy • Details how we expect students to use ICT responsibly and safely, outlining some of the potential risks and measures of protection. • Signed by all students and staff in the school and reviewed annually.

  8. Social Networking • A social network is any online space where people can communicate with others. • Eg Facebook, Bebo, Myspace, Formspring, Twitter etc

  9. How does Social Networking Work? • Usually free to create an account • Variety of methods of interaction: • Posting messages to an online virtual message board • Email • Live chat • Web conferencing (using web cams) • Instant messaging individuals • Post images/videos/sound clips • Users usually have to add ‘friends’ before they can communicate with them.

  10. Activity • The piece of paper shows a mock version of a Facebook ‘profile’ page. This is highly similar to what your daughter will have if she uses Facebook. • Circle any areas of risk where the Facebook user has potentially made themselves vulnerable.

  11. Social Networking – Pros & Cons • Great for communicating over geographical distances • Can express yourself using a variety of mediums (eg text, video, sound etc) • Can reach a large number of people very quickly • Need to actively amend privacy settings and security or else information can be public • Hard to know who someone actually is in real life • Easy to divulge too much information

  12. Privacy Settings/Report • Almost all social networks have privacy settings where a user can control who can see which parts of their profile. Some sites (eg Facebook) let you do this for images as well. • We encourage all students to have a private profile and to avoid adding personal images. They should also be careful about who they add as a ‘friend’ • A ‘report abuse’ button is available:

  13. Cyber Bullying • “Using the Internet or mobile technologies to bully others.” • Childnet International • As many as 1 in 3 children may have been victims of cyber bullying. • Can sometimes be more worrying as children can be reached almost 24/7 and so there is a chance the bullying could be more persistent.

  14. Forms of cyber bullying • Receiving nasty or threatening... • Text messages on a mobile phone • Instant messages • Chatroom messages • Emails • Someone posting embarrassing images, videos or messages on a social networking site.

  15. Cyber Bullying Video • http://www.digizen.org/resources/cyberbullying/films/uk/lfit-film.aspx

  16. Tackling Cyber Bullying • QEGS approach • Police approach

  17. What to do... • Always capture evidence either by printing messages out or saving phone messages – never delete them, however unpleasant. • Make use of the ‘report abuse’ facility and encourage your daughter to speak to an adult.

  18. How to support your daughter • Try to have your daughter use a computer in a more public area of the house. • Review privacy settings and site memberships with your daughter. Look at how they are using social networking. • Investigate privacy settings and the features of social networking sites your daughter uses.
