I am a teacher of English from Ukraine. My students are from 10 to 17 years of age. I love my job and do my best to improve my teaching and to motivate my students to learn English. We participate in eTwinning projects and it helps me greatly in my job: children learn to communicate, collaborate and work in teams, our lessons become more interesting. I am very excited about this online safety course, I am sure it will be very useful for me and my colleagues, especially those, who use internet resources at their lessons. ]]> 2018-02-19 19:43:33 UTC https://padlet.com/yuliyatroy/rora49uwdrum/wish/233038703 My teaching context yuliyatroy https://padlet.com/yuliyatroy/rora49uwdrum/wish/233040391 I work in Khmelnytskyi comprehensive secondary school 22. Actually, this is my first year in this school, I changed my place of work in 2017 and my total work experience is 15 years. Our school is involved in the humane pedagogy experiment, teachers are very tolerant and organize many activities to teach students to be kind, respect others. As I have already mentioned, my students (6th and 10th graders) participate in eTwinning projects, we use internet resources at the lessons to communicate with foreign peers, exchange letters, share videos and photos. ]]> 2018-02-19 19:50:14 UTC https://padlet.com/yuliyatroy/rora49uwdrum/wish/233040391 yuliyatroy https://padlet.com/yuliyatroy/rora49uwdrum/wish/240620529 Power of image report]]> 2018-03-11 19:52:40 UTC https://padlet.com/yuliyatroy/rora49uwdrum/wish/240620529 Images are very important for teens yuliyatroy https://padlet.com/yuliyatroy/rora49uwdrum/wish/240620833 2018-03-11 19:54:32 UTC https://padlet.com/yuliyatroy/rora49uwdrum/wish/240620833 Digital literacy is on of the 8 key competences yuliyatroy https://padlet.com/yuliyatroy/rora49uwdrum/wish/240621217 A recent UNICEF report found that when adolescents are threatened or feel unsafe online:
  • 54% said that they would tell a friend,
  • 48% said that they would tell a parent,
  • but only 19% said that they would tell a teacher.
What do the others do? Whom do they turn to? Do they get the help and support that they might need?
Some more recent research carried out in Denmark, Hungary and the UK found that significant numbers of young people (13- to 17-year-olds) would not report sexual harassment online for a variety of reasons, as shown below.

It is devoted to promoting safe, effective use of the internet among young people through awareness-raising resources and campaigns.

Some young people can feel pressure to look and behave a certain way when they are online. A recent research report surveyed young people in Denmark, Hungary and the UK and found that 32% of girls and 18% of boys sometimes didn’t post images on social media sites because they were worried about body-shaming. Though boys and girls alike reported having these feelings, they were more common among girls. Girls often talk about needing to look a certain way when they are online, and say that they are under pressure to live up to challenging expectations of what they should look like. This video clearly shows how images often portray an unrealistic ideal:

The term was originally used by the Australian press about seven years ago, and since then has become a serious challenge for children, young people and their teachers and parents.

It involves individuals being persuaded to share sexual content, often believing that they are in a relationship (albeit online) with the other person. Once images or videos have been shared, the individuals are asked either to pay a certain amount of money in order to prevent the images being shared publicly, or to send more content, often more extreme. This video provides a brief overview of sextortion and highlights the key issues.

if you have concerns that one of your pupils is being, or has been, radicalised or incited to violence or prejudicial action, you should follow your school’s standard safeguarding procedures. 
Within this context, you can:
  • Contact your local authority or police force – if the child has not committed a criminal offence, the police and local authority will discuss your concerns, suggest how they can best protect the child, and help you gain access to all the support and advice you need.
  • In many countries, the Department for Education also has a counter-extremism point of contact for advice and support.
  • If in doubt, contact a national helpline – various helplines exist, both as part of the Insafe network and Child Helpline International. 
  • Contact INHOPE, an active and collaborative global network of hotlines dealing with illegal content online. While several hotlines more specifically focus on child sexual abuse, many of them also deal with other types of illegal content, such as racism and xenophobia, incitement to hatred, and so forth.
