Here is a controversial bit from the section on cyberbullying: p120
The MediaSmarts Report 2012 demonstrated that children in fact show strong
resilience when it comes to cyberbullying, having clear strategies in place:
First ignore it and de-friend or block the person (typically a very successful strategy).
If that doesn’t work they’ll seek to confront the bully face to face. If that’s not
feasible, or doesn’t work, they’ll call in their parents.
Their research , however, found that most school anti-bullying programmes were a
waste of time. The school authorities didn’t truly understand the problems being
faced, and bringing a teacher into the situations tended to make things worse. Police
are often brought into schools to deliver anti-bullying training, but Nancy Willard
feels that this is often counter-productive. Most police personnel see only the worst
results of bullying behaviour, so tend to over-focus on the negative. The children at
highest risk don’t tend to trust adults, which adds to their lack of effectiveness

cyberbullying: p120
She recommends that the audience for such talks should be digitally more savvy
students who already trust adults, understand the bigger picture, and can look out for
more “dangerous” behaviour among peers. With this in mind, it’s worth looking at
“cyber-mentor” training, designed for eleven to seventeen year olds, who mentor
both offline and online via the Beatbullying website.

15. for engaging pupils and parents in
e-safety and digital citizenship
http://goo.gl/bE6O0A
Use a quiz: first pet's name? date of birth? email address?
Get pupils to look themselves up: look up their name in a search engine.
Credit photos to teach copyright: image search inc photo credit that includes the search term.
Keep your school policy relevant: Digital citizenship policies need to be a working document.
Get older students involved: Peer education: e-safety ambassadors train students
Watch Ted talks: effective way of exploring citizenship by provoking thought and debate.
Engage parents little and often
Find out how much parents know
Be positive: positive side to social media.
Watch ThinkYouKnow videos https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/14_plus/

16. Risk assessment: more at risk
Some users may be more at risk OL than others
because of age, health or disability
Some disabled learners may be at risk OL due to
difficulties in understanding, or communications
or limited access and interaction with information.
Risk assessment should assess the situation, ie the
learner in context. Plenty of non-disabled adults
will struggle eg with passwords and security at
times, and digital footprint affects us all.

Entry
I have a basic understanding of the definitions of esafety and cyberbullying.
I understand basic prevention strategies and safety tips.
I understand my school’s esafety policies and how these relate to and support
safeguarding, and the implications this has for my practice.
Core
I understand the difference between personal and professional use of online sites
and communications technologies.
I am aware of the importance of looking after my online reputation; using privacy
settings and ‘friending’ or connecting to others appropriately.
I understand my responsibilities under the Data Protection Act with regard to the
electronic management and protection of students’ information.
I am able to provide my learners with basic tips about how to stay safe online,
including how to deal with online bullying, and how to save evidence.
I can address cyberbullying disclosures and key esafety issues (eg bringing the
schools name into disrepute online, accessing inappropriate content in school, sexting)
and understand how to report these appropriately.
