Safer Internet Day 2016 - teaching E Safety

Tomorrow, Tuesday 09 February 2016 is Safer Internet Day 2016

Safer internet day is designed to encourage organisations to promote the safe, responsible and positive use of digital technology for children and young people. 

Most students and young people use the internet and social networks on a routine basis and it is important the all those involved with young people understand the common platforms, how they work and the potential risks.   

Asking the IT dept to block access to selected web sites is an ineffective solution.  Proxies, VPNs, Mobile Phones, Tablets etc by pass such blocks with ease.  

Young people are often highly conversant with the technology and circumventing blocks but they are often less able to identify and so avoid potential risks.

It is imperative that all those involved with you people get up to speed with the risks and consider how they can get E Safety messages across in the way young people understand and respond to.

Concrew Trainings on-day workshop on using social media to teach E Safety is a fun packed day that helps participants understand how social media platforms work, their appeal to young people and the risks posed.  Building on these foundations it moves on to demonstrate how teachers, trainings, tutors and support staff media can use social media to develop a wide range of teaching and training sessions that young people enjoy, relate to and genuinely learn through.  It also demonstrates ways to embed E-Safety teaching into such lessons

In this modern technology driven society its is imperative that all those involved with young people ensure their own knowledge and teaching methodology is current

Concrew Training's one day workshop on "Using Social Media to Teach E-Safety" helps participants achieve just this.  Book a course for your team today. Continue Reading >>>>>>
