What is cybersafety?
The Internet provides a powerful resource for learning as well as an efficient means of communication. However, despite the educational and social benefits of information and communication technologies, there are risks associated with their use, particularly for school age students. There have been some highly publicised cases of exploitation resulting from unsafe use of the Internet, however this does not mean that all children will experience such problems. Educating children about how to be ‘street-smart’ when using the Internet is extremely important. A range of strategies can be used by teachers to minimise the risks associated with accessing the Internet and instead develop in students an understanding of safe and responsible online behaviours.
