Over the past few months I have been doing more work around Internet Safety and Responsible Use for Parents and Teachers. Quite a bit of this work involved speaking at conference, running professional development for teachers and engaging with parent focus groups.
The work is very important but it can also be quite repetitive so to try and help this and to reach as many people as possible we recently made three films that covers some of the content that I normally address in various talks.
The videos are available to view on the Learning and Teaching Scotland website and I have embedded the one for teachers and parents below.
I feel it contains the minimum amount of content and information needed for all parents and education professionals.
As well as covering some of the issues regarding Internet Safety and Responsible Use it is designed to try and get people thinking about how do we tackle some of these big issues at home and in school.
As always I would be very keen to find out what you think of the resource as I hope to up-date it on a 6 - 12 monthy basis.
As a computer investigator I find it amazing at how lax some parents are on internet safety but hard as nails when it comes to everything else. I think it comes down to the fact that technology is so foreign to parents and so common place to kids. Technology is an ever changing beast.
Keep up the good work. Best of luck with everything.
