Session 0- e saftey

A click is all it takes … that split seconds, can change your life
!
I alert all parents; I repeat all parents, keep watch but give your child space. The worst thing you can do is be over protective. These days the internet it a miracle, a tool with all functions, it’s almost like a human with an overload of cleverness.  It one of those things that grandma would say “We didn’t have those things when we were at school, we had to use books or our brains!” and turn her nose up in disgust. My point I am trying to make is that the world is involving and we are in the twentieth century but you need to protect your children, grandchildren, no matter what the age.  Let your child research but let them know you are there to help and you don’t always need a computer to find something out. Let your child socialise but let them know there is a park down the road and only ever meet up with people you know (in person). Finally you could always experience computers you self and explore the world with the click of the mouse that your child does a million times a day. Parents if you access the internet think about what you are posting would you want your child to see it or your parents.

 Students of the earth, I would like to address you, I heard your teacher tell you to research fashion but did they inform you about the safety of the internet or let you know reliable and unreliable sites. I bet they did but you have forgot or think it cool to ignore and rule the school/ college. However despite the  amazing functions some sites have the negatives (just like everything) , in particularly social media , yes the site you just added a friend … one you don’t actually know but it’s cool to have millions of friends.  Step away from the keyboard a STOP THINK AND ACT SENSIBLY!

Stand up to the bully’s. Don’t be scared. tell some. Research has shown that cyber bullying is more common that any other type of bullying. My most important piece of advice is that beware of what pictures you post and if the bullying stops … STOP IT! And if you don't know that friend ... why add them ... DON'T!
