Open Course - Teaching E-Safety through Social Media

Price:  £299.00+vat per delegate

Location: Birmingham City Centre

Date: 28 June 2017

A one-day workshop that demonstrates a high effective way to teach online/e-safety using Social Media and consider how Social Media media can complement a broad range teaching strategies.
Full Course Overview

It explores how social media can be used to develop students’ research, communication and life skills whilst simultaneously raising their awareness of the potential risks posed by the internet and what to do if they encounter a possible problem.
Historically many education providers tried to protect users by restricting or banning access to the internet but this approach can be breached too easily and it does little to prepare students for real world living.
The internet and social media are increasingly integral to both business and private life and the modern student needs to understand what the risks are, how to identify, avoid and report them.
The workshop shows teachers how social media can be used to teach students how to stay safer online and simultaneously how the approaches can be used for wider learning too

Using Social Media at Work - Staff rights and responsibilities

Why you need a Policy NOW ! Two recent Employment Tribunal cases, one involving Face book and another one with Twitter have one clear message in common for modern employers – the urgent need to have clear up to date, precise policies and procedures in place about the use of Social Media at work. Both the cases profiled below could have been lost by the employer had they not previously taken proactive policy steps to keep up to date with an ever changing scene. Face Book The Face Book case arose from an unfair dismissal claim. The Employment Tribunal held that a pub manager was fairly dismissed for gross misconduct after she made inappropriate comments on Face book about two customers who had verbally abused and threatened her.   The Face Book chat took place while the employee was at work and did not reflect her upset or anger at the customers, but appeared to be a joke between friends.  However, a wider audience was able to look at her Face Book page, including r
