www.saferinternet.gr. Also there are projects on internet safety that teachers carry on at schools. I believe even more emphasis should be put on how to use social media, since Facebook is really greatly used among youngsters of even 11 years old.

Many of them upload personal photos or place comments.They should be informed about digital footprint and possible effects on their careers in the future.

Parents should be assisting teachers!!!

At the moment I work with six years olds but last year I taught 4th primary and they had a wonderful talk by the police in Madrid. They were really engaged with it.

# data[].attributes.body
The Internet can be a wonderful resource for students. They can use it to research school reports, communicate with teachers and other kids, and play interactive games. Kids who are old enough to swipe a screen can have access to the world.
But that access can also pose hazards. For example, an 8-year-old might do an online search for "Lego." But with just one missed keystroke, the word "Legs" is entered instead, and the child may be directed to a slew of websites with a focus on legs — some of which may contain pornographic material.
That's why it's important to be aware of what your kids see and hear on the Internet, who they meet, and what they share about themselves online.
As with any safety issue, it's wise to talk with your kids about your concerns, take advantage of resources to protect them, and keep a close eye on their activities.

From the 1st Grade of Primary School students are introduced to the concept of e-safety. Students learning tips for assessing if a source to the Internet is trustworthy.

I would dedicate one day in our school to deal with this topic where students would be engaged in different workshops and doing their own research (under teachers' guidance) on responsible use of the Internet, focusing also on Social Media.

# data[].attributes.body
In my school there have been some conferences about the use of the Internet, social media, and mobile phones, with students and parents, to talk about safety and a responsible use of them.

I hope there will be even more because to explain students and parents how to be safe and responsible on Internet is very important.

I think it's very important that the school organizes courses of information and training on safety and responsibility in the use of Internet sites. For example, last year my school organized a seminar on Cyberbullying, the seminar was very interesting both for students and for their parents.

I personly have never had any special activities with students concerning responsible use of social media as we don't use it at school.

Besides discussing the privacy settings, I believe that to keep in mind we all have a digital footprint is very important to use social media responsibly. In México, we can ask to the police to visit schools and talk about the dangers and challenges we may face when we are using Social Media.

I think that also address the issue of the possible unpleasant consequences is important, for example by asking who deals with cases of violence through the Internet to come and tell the real cases: the reality sometimes creates clarity. Finally, I think it is important to give the right information not only to children but also to parents who are primarily responsible for their children.

I totally agree with Ollie about the importance of educating rather than forbidding. My students and I often use mobile phones in class to look a word up in a dictionary, check pronunciation or watch you tube videos. The problem is that students can’t do without texting or checking their facebook profile even during the lessons and this can be annoying for the teacher, but I am sure that after some time, if the students start considering that their mobile phones are also useful for learning, they will start making a correct use of them.

As for resources for privacy awareness, I'm enjoying reading all suggestions on padlet.

When we talk in the classroom about safety and responsibility, it often turns out that parents themselves don't have an idea of what posting photos or comments means.

In our school students are already allowed several years to bring their cell phones or other devices to school. It is however the teacher who decides whether the students are allowed to use it.

Since this schoolyear all our students have a Chromebook and access to Google classroom where they can work, share and exchange things with each other. Of course the Chromebooks are only used when the teachers allows them to.

There are hardly social media which are blocked on school, because some of them are used by the teachers (like YouTube). And it almost never gives any problems.

In our school we do have some problems with social media though of students with cell phones and an expensive subscription which gives them unlimited access to everything. I think parents should teach their children about the use of that too.

Pedagogy in the 21st century? I think that Ollie in this video must be joking claiming that me as an ICT teacher I need to spend time to find out why the child's smartphone is loaded with so many background processes or out of battery power! While I should occupy us all in the lab tinkering with each application's privacy settings and then call this learning! It's my job to apply proper settings and command-line scripts for the kids to work safely. Hopefully I've blocked all the popular commercial social media and their use is forbidden below 13 years old. Perhaps Ollie acts more as a marketing carrier than a teacher/tutor.

# data[].attributes.body
A good exercise (although a bit scary and maybe risky for the teacher) would be to gather information about students from their public social media profiles. It will probably shock them into realising that what they are putting out there on the web CAN be seen and accessed by anyone, even their teacher, parents, friends and enemiies. It may be the trigger that sets them working in being more careful with their privacy settings. Once this is achieved, teachers should help them in understanding the privacy settings better and how to go about protecting themselves.

An alternative would be to assign work to them to gather information about a non-friend, say from facebook. Once again, they would hopefully realise that is it relatively easy to access information about people if they have not taken steps to protect themselves. This may not have the same "shock-value" as the first approach, but it is less risky.
