The Internet Revolution
How the Internet is changing the world
Eighty per cent of jobs that will exist in 2025 don’t exist
today; we have to prepare our students and graduates for a
world that’s essentially not possible to prepare them for.

How the Internet is changing the world The internet is an extraordinary force for good. Children can use it to do amazing things: • Wealth of resources for learning • Young people can celebrate their creativity and find their identity • Families can communicate across the globe • Make friends • Learn about new places • Learn new things – How to play the guitar, code, solve a Rubiks cube

The Internet Revolution
• …..but like most things, the internet was not designed with children in mind.
• Children can find the internet to be scary
– I wonder what other people will think of me online
– I see, and sometimes receive, mean comments
– I worry about how my siblings use social media
– I don’t know who I can trust online
– I see things that weren’t meant for me to see
– I don’t understand why my parents need to post pictures of me
– I have to be on social media because everyone else is
– I get scared when I think about what could happen if I am not safe on social
media
– I am different to the people I see online
– I don’t have anything good to post
– I feel jealous when I see what other people are doing and the things they have
– I sometimes don’t know what to do when bad things happen on social media
– I get lots of messages even when I don’t want to be on my phone

health information

social media during tough or challenging timesBest and the worst of Social Media

Source: Status of Mind: Social media and young people’s mental healthImpact of Social Media on Sleep - FoMO Lenhart, Ling, Campbell & Purcell, 2010 86% of adolescents sleep with their phone in the bedroom – often under their pillow or in their hand Social media use may directly displace sleep or interfere with melatonin production via digital screen exposure at bedtime Cain & Gradisar, 2010 Night time-specific social media use significantly predicted poorer sleep, whereas overall use did not. Adolescents who are more emotionally connected to social media sites, feeling upset and disconnected when they cannot use social media, may therefore struggle to relax at bedtime for fear of missing out on new messages or content.

What can we do?
Building digital resilience
A person with resilience learns from things that go wrong
so that they can find a new way or ask for the help they
need to reach their goal
Source: Children's Commissioner - Growing up digitalBuilding digital resilience
• Fatalistic/passive or passive coping
– Hope the problem will go away by
itself
– Stop using the internet for a while
Communicative coping
– Talk to somebody about the problem
Proactive coping (problem-solving)
– Try to fix the problem
– Delete unwelcome messages
(online)
– Block sender (online) Source: How cope and build online resilienceBuilding digital resilience
Source: Digital friendships: the role of technology in young people's friendships (2018)Building digital resilience
• Encourage open communication. Talking about the problem
can bring emotional relief, and is often the first step in
reaching a suitable solution if a child feels bothered by online
risks.
• Show children how to use proactive coping strategies (e.g.
delete messages, block contacts, report providers) from an
early age
• Parents who are frequent internet users themselves feel more
confident with the medium, and also feel more confident in
guiding their children on the internet.
Source: How cope and build online resilienceBe a better role model
• Put the phones down. Practice what we
preach.
• Turn off notifications
• Stop sharenting
– The average parent shares almost 1,500 images
of their child online before their fifth birthday
– 28%, said they never thought to ask their child if
they minded uploading images of them online.
• Check your privacy settings
– only 10% of parents reported to be ‘very
confident’ in managing privacy settings
• Think before posting – would you have been
upset if your parents had posted this?
• Create smaller family groups or share via other
methods (File Sharing, Whatsapp)
Source: ParentzoneIs there any evidence for the effects of screen harm?
• Minimal direct evidence but…….
– Screen time displaces positive activity such as sleep,
time with family and exercise
– Evidence of less healthy diet and increased levels of
obesity
– Some evidence of increased depressive symptoms for
>2hours screen time per day, but some studies show
some screen time is better for mental health than
none at all.
• Recommended that no screen time 1 hour before
bed time for all ages
– 72% of all children and 89% of adolescents have at
least 1 device in their sleep environment, with most
used near bedtime – JAMA Pediatrics
