Technology enhances learning. We need to ensure all children get the most from it, by encouraging responsible online behaviour (not keeping a list of their usernames and passwords)
You might wonder whether what they are doing is safe, and you might also be thinking how can I be as good a parent online as I am offline?

Research from the Oxford Internet Institute and Parent Zone 1. Children who have positive offline relationships with their parents are more likely to navigate the web in a sensible way 2. Supportive and enabling parenting has a more positive impact than restricting or monitoring internet use 3. Teenagers left to self-regulate their internet and social media use are more likely to teach themselves new skills online and maintain positive online relationships

Socialising Online Ever thought how odd your online life is? Ever thought what could go wrong?
Searching for content • It is easy for young people to actively search for material that might be inappropriate for their age, or stumble across things that might upset or disturb them. • Pornography - There is no top shelf on the internet. They can be exposed to material of an extreme nature – develop negative attitudes towards women, dysfunctional sexual attitudes and behaviours and unrealistic expectations of sexual relationships. • Unhealthy networking - B-eat www.b-eat.co.uk • Extreme opinions - At a time when young people’s opinions are being formed, exposure to sites which convey extreme viewpoints may influence their views if not counterbalanced with other perspectives. • Inaccurate content - Encourage your child to check facts from other sources and also to think critically about sites they use.
Online Gaming • Games can be played against anyone in the world, at any time and for as long as you want. • Smartphones, SmartTV, PC, Laptop, Tablet, Consoles... – Know who they are talking to – Check the age rating of the game – Look for the game’s advice for parents and carers – Set boundaries – Know what to do if something goes wrong
Talking to People • Emailing, SPIM (unwanted messages that are sent through instant messaging sites), instant messaging, webcam, apps, random chat rooms... • The Internet gives people the opportunity to be inquisitive, explore relationships and actively seek risks • Online behaviour - chatting online feels different to chatting face-to-face. • Young people should be aware that they can: – Block contacts. – Report contacts.
Chat rooms and IM • Would you yell that out in a crowded room? • Personal details vs nickname • Anonymous • Meet ups • Private vs. public chat rooms vs. random chat rooms
Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place via technology • Students need to be educated on how to be a good digital citizen • 28% of 11 – to 16 year olds have been deliberately targeted, threatened or humiliated by an individual or group through the use of mobile phone or the internet
What to do if my child is being cyberbullied • Offer reassurance and support • Your child could visit CyberMentors • Tell your child that if they are being bullied to always keep the evidence • Block the bullies • Report any bullying content to the website it’s hosted on
Grooming • Grooming is a process of manipulating a child to gain control over them; as a parent or carer you should be approachable so that if your child is concerned about something, they know they can talk to you. If you are concerned about someone’s behaviour towards your child, you can report this directly to CEOP or in an emergency, dial 999.
Using a smartphone • HGS policy – No mobile phones allowed in school – we cannot monitor usage • Access the internet • Take and share photos and videos • Chat with instant messaging, video and text • Share your location • Play games • Download and buy ‘apps’
Sexting and smartphones “Someone taking an indecent image of themselves, and sending it to their friends or boy/girlfriend via a mobile phone or some other form of technology is sometimes referred to as ‘sexting’.” • No control of online content • Smartphones VS Laptops – Online 24/7, camera, video calls, Bluetooth, GPS tracking • Easily be posted on websites such as Facebook and YouTube and be seen by hundreds or even thousands of people. • Report them using the ‘CEOP report’ website.
Sharing content • Most sites your child uses will encourage them to share information about themselves with others. • Pictures and videos – Smartphones • Personal information – Privacy settings • Location – Tagging
Losing control over pictures and videos • Bullying – young people can be bullied by others about the content of pictures. • Distress – knowing that other people they do not know are looking at personal pictures can be very upsetting. • Blackmail – if the images end up in the hands of someone with bad intentions, they may be used to attempt to manipulate the child. • Reputation – once something is online it is very difficult to remove. Images can become part of a young person’s ‘digital footprint’ and potentially affect them in the long- term, such as if someone searches their name as part of a job interview.
How can I help my child use their mobile phone safely? • Parental settings – speak to sales service provider • Loopholes - free Wifi (Accessing someone else’s Wifi may mean that your safety settings no longer apply.) • Understand what your child’s phone can do • Set a pin code on your child’s phone • Set boundaries and monitor usage • Discuss what they can share • Discuss and monitor costs • Keep their mobile number private • Be prepared in case the phone is lost or stolen
Overuse and addiction • Can be a problem when a young person’s online behaviour diverts and distracts them from other activities – this might be school work, seeing their friends or even sleeping and eating. • As a parent or carer, you should be alert to the amount of time they are spending online and aware of the issues that might be causing a dependency.
Be aware that information on your profile could potentially be viewed by anyone. So if you wouldn’t be comfortable printing it off and handing it out on the street, it shouldn’t be on your profile.
It’s not all bad news! What tools are there to help keep my child safe?

Parental controls are not just about locking and blocking, they are a tool to help you set appropriate boundaries as your child grows and develops.
It’s not about you having their usernames and passwords. Eventually you will lose control. It’s all about educating them on what they can and cannot do, what they should and should not give away, what kinds of conversations they should get in to.

Google Family Safety Centre http://www.google.co.uk/goodtoknow/familysafety/ Content filtering on Android Google SafeSearch SafeSearch Lock Sharing controls and privacy settings YouTube Safety Mode Google+, YouTube, Blogger - Reporting SafeSearch on your inappropriate content phone googlefamilysafety's channel
Google SafeSearch • SafeSearch is designed to screen sites that contain sexually explicit content and remove them from your search results. While no filter is 100% accurate, SafeSearch helps you to avoid content that you may prefer not to see or would rather your children did not stumble across. • By default, Moderate SafeSearch is turned on, which helps to keep explicit images out of your search results. If you prefer, you can change your setting to Strict filtering to help filter out explicit text, as well as images. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sT5hl3VYys&list=UUsB_OLJA28Nc-47BihG2_Ww&index=18&feature=plcp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maWx-ApkBCs
SafeSearch Lock • If you’re worried about others changing the Strict SafeSearch setting without your knowledge, you can protect it with a password, using SafeSearch Lock. Once locked, the Google search results page will be visibly different to indicate that SafeSearch is locked. • Even from across the room, the coloured balls give parents and teachers a clear visual cue that SafeSearch is still locked. And if you don’t see them, it’s quick and easy to verify and relock SafeSearch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4s-uo1CoUw
SafeSearch on your phone • SafeSearch is accessible on your mobile device by using the browser to access the Google homepage. • Secure your phone: Use a strong passcode to lock your phone. • Think before you app: Review the privacy policy and understand what data (location, access to your social networks) the app can access on your device before you download. • Disable the geotagging feature on your phone
YouTube Safety Mode • Opting in to Safety Mode means that videos with mature content or that have been age-restricted will not show up in video search, related videos, playlists, shows or films. While no filter is 100% accurate, we use community flagging and porn- image detection to help identify and hide inappropriate content. It is also designed to hide objectionable comments. Safety Mode on YouTube does not remove content from the site, but rather helps to hide it from users who opt in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w6fJno3vEA&feature=BFa&list=PL605B126697AB15E7
Google Privacy http://www.youtube.com/user/googleprivacy?feature=watch • Google's Privacy Channel has been created to keep you informed about their privacy policies, how they treat your personal information, and how you can better control your privacy while using Google.
