Brett Lee, Closing Keynote for Learning at Schools conference says “Yes, we are.”
No longer will you see children jumping around on the backseat of the car but sitting, buckled up. The reason being is that if ‘dad’ were to have an accident then you could be seriously injured or killed. The other reason being that it is the law that everyone wear their seatbelt and ‘dad’ could get into a lot of trouble if you’re caught by police without a seatbelt on.
Two very good reasons; and so it is with Internet safety. Brett believes that students simply need the reasons spelt out.
From Brett’s keynote he identified that:
- we can never under estimate the power of the screen in young people’s lives
- the technology will change over time but our protective practises, responsibilities and beliefs should remain
- we as teachers and parents only line of defence for our kids against the World-Wild Web.
- we can instil quality online behaviours in our children
- we must always believe we are making a difference to how our students interact socially within the internet.
