Practical Tips
Survey Results
- 13% students said that they had uploaded photographs that they would not share with their family! This revelation got us into action and we now urge students to take privacy of their photographs and other personal information very seriously. We also clarify to them that no privacy setting is fool proof and one needs to think that once something is posted online there is no guarantee that it will remain private as the internet is a very public space.
- 28% students were sure they could guess the age of a stranger with whom they were interacting online, another 64% yielded āsometimesā, thus laying bare the utter naivety of their tender adolescent minds!
- In a college survey, we asked students if they would talk to their parents/guardians about any uncomfortable online experiences.
Conversation starters for teachers and parents
Teaching ideas
- Simple craft ideas, for instance making a double-sided mask to explain that a person pretending to be a handsome 15-year-old might actually be a 50-year-old abuser.
- Scripts for puppet shows, for example āThree Red Flagsā in Chapter 8 titled āOnline Predatorsā can be used by children to do a puppet show/play and this can then be used to teach children to recognize signs of online abuse.
- Ideas for games that can be played in the classroom. For instance, our JaagoTeens, āBe a Net Smarteeā board game is extremely effective in communicating internet safety messages to young children.
