Internet safety education

Transformational – not just transactional – Net safety & citizenship needed

June 21, 2016 By Anne 3 Comments

A couple of years ago I listened to a heart-rending interview on NPR with Joe Ehrmann, former NFL football player and founder of Coach for America. I'd been the mother of a hockey player for more than a decade and was moved by Ehrmann's call for transformational rather than transactional coaching. Like many parents, I found myself wishing there'd been more of that in our family's experience. But … [Read more...] about Transformational – not just transactional – Net safety & citizenship needed

The next version of ‘Internet safety’: A look under the hood

November 10, 2014 By Anne 2 Comments

"Under the bonnet," colleagues across the Atlantic and Down Under might say. I put it that way because this post is a bit more e-safety geeky than usual. Parents and caregivers who don't geek out on this topic might find this mildly interesting, though, because we're talking about kids' wellbeing in media and in life. Going forward, the value of "Internet safety" – if the concept doesn't … [Read more...] about The next version of ‘Internet safety’: A look under the hood

At the IGF: Youth participation = greater youth e-safety

September 2, 2014 By Anne 7 Comments

Olivia

One of the best things about participating in the Internet Governance Forum is seeing the growing youth participation in sessions about their online protection. And one of the best things I've heard so far, after just 1.5 days of the IGF here in Istanbul this week came from Danish 15-year-old Olivia in a session about "Child Online Protection" where there was much discussion about technical, legal … [Read more...] about At the IGF: Youth participation = greater youth e-safety

Proposed ‘rightful’ framework for Internet safety

July 18, 2014 By Anne 2 Comments

UNICEF logo

Internet safety is a basic right of Internet users. But it's not the only one. There are other fundamental rights that Net users of all ages have, and I propose that Internet safety will actually serve all Internet users better – and have much more relevance to the younger ones in our homes and schools – when we put it in context, in a framework of online rights. It's a framework for all users' … [Read more...] about Proposed ‘rightful’ framework for Internet safety

Challenging ‘Internet safety’ as a subject to be taught

September 4, 2013 By Anne 5 Comments

"Way back" in 2008 – at least a decade after "online safety" was starting to be seen as a subject that needed to be taught to children – I suggested that it was becoming obsolete. Now what I'm seeing is that it never really was a single stand-alone subject that could become obsolete. We'll look back on it as a risk-prevention placeholder that society created until our research-based understanding … [Read more...] about Challenging ‘Internet safety’ as a subject to be taught
