Do we need cybersafety agreements?
Tara Taylor-Jorgensen share her thoughts on cyber-safety and poses something interesting questions.
Why do we force agreements on students and their parents when we don’t do that for any other curriculum area?
Does it assume that students will do something BAD on the internet even before they are introduced to the media?
Is it relevant for the students when they sign these agreements on school entry at five years old?
Are we compromising student empowerment for the sake of wellbeing?
Is cyber-safety the new ‘stranger danger’? Even if it is, violence against children, more often than not happened within families and communities.
Is it about the victims? Or should it be about those that are hurting people?
Is there not more bullying in schools and the community than in the ‘cyber-world’?
Is web- filtering doing our students a disservice?
Is it not better to have real conversations with the kids while working with them online?
Does there need to be a national framework that school implement or will those decisions be left to the individual institutions?
Good questions...
How would you answer?
