Trevor’s Story
Essential Questions How can we teach our students to use the
Internet safely? How can we teach our students to use the
Internet effectively? How can we teach our students to use the
Internet ethically?
iSafety Training Overview Transition from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 What the statistics show Social networking
Blogging TMI and iSafety
Cyberbullying i-Safe.org, NetSmartz and other resources
for students, parents, and educators
The Read-Only Web (Web 1.0) Information moves
one way only- from publishers to consumers
Readers can’t contribute information
Is non-collaborative in nature
Web 1.0 Web 2.0Some 93% of teens use the internet, and more of
them than ever are treating it as a venue for social interaction – a place where they can share creations, tell stories, and interact with others.
From Pew Internet & American Life Project (Lenhardt & Madden, 2007) -- http://www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/105/presentation_display.asp
Content Creation by Teens 39% of online teens share their own artistic creations
online, such as artwork, photos, stories, or videos 33% create or work on websites or blogs for others,
including those for groups they belong to, friends, or school assignments.
27% maintain their own personal webpage or blog 26% remix content they find online into their own
creations 76% of social network-using teens leave comments on
the blogs of friends

Cyberbullying Concerns Creating websites that have stories, cartoons, pictures,
and jokes ridiculing others Posting pictures of classmates online with intent to
embarrass them Engaging someone in IM (instant messaging), tricking
that person into revealing sensitive personal information, and forwarding that information to others

other people Consider the consequences and the
future Talk with parents, teachers, or other
trusted adults if you have concerns about safety or cyberbullying
Safety Tips for Parents Create an open dialog about online
safety concerns Set boundaries and time limits for
online activities Move computers into shared spaces
& make monitors visible Watch for Alt+F4 (Alt+Tab) Check history (is it suspiciously
blank?) Beware of a reluctance to be candid
