I have just finished completing the
Cybersafety professional development slides and learnt so much from
reading and listening to professionals who know so much about what’s
going on on the internet. +chloe kam as also mention about it.
I am going to quickly recap and compress important information that stood out to me in these four modules.
Module 1: Connected world of students
- Children read more on the internet than actual printed texts
- Students we teach now never knew a world without internet
- Web2.0 is a powerful tool a a time when young people are working out who they are and what they want to be, that’s why teacher’s and parents need to assist them wisely.
- Nothing beats face to face communication
- Technology may at time impact on losing essential skills to communicate face to face
Cybersafety:
- Young people are dealing with images not real people, this makes young people create profile on what they want to be not necessarily who they really are.
‘in a connected world, how are you connecting to your students?’
Module 2: Online safety issues & how a teacher can help
- Grooming: someone pretending to be someone else who will later perform sexual actions
and provocative images
- Cyberbulling: someone is bullying with the intent to hurt that person
- Cyberagression: a one off (think its funny) remark that may hurt that persons feelings
- Hacking: someone who uses your account and posts inappropriate comments
- Teachers need to influence students’ poositive behaviour by determining how to best deal with unsafe behaviour, from the connect.ed website they listed these strategies to teach students how to:
Module 3: How the school plays apart in Cyberbullying
- It is important to know the school policies on Cybersafety
- Students need to understand (at their level) how technology should be used
- Cyberbullying happens outside of school when students have the time to be on the internet, it is the schools responsibility and duty of care to attend to these happenings.
- Parents play a role so they need to understand what is happening online
- When the whole school community, school leaders, teachers, students and parents are all integrated this can help create safe online behaviours.
- Some more Strategies can be found here.
Module 4: Useful resources
- The Cybersafety website has collated and created useful resources that can be used at any age level.

I hope this is useful for you guys! Have a nice day
