Cyber Bullying Alert | CyberBullying Prevention Software | Internet Harassment - 1 views

  • The CyberBully Alert software is a tool for parents to equip their children with the ability to immediately communicate and document any threats or Cyberbullying their children experience when online. Th
  • Experts agree that the best way to address cyberbullying and online threats is to immediately communicate the incident with an adult, as well as document what the threat is.

      I think that every internet browser should have an easy, built in way to take a screen shot and send it to someone. We need this for many safety reasons. It is to protect those who need it most and are often the most technically challenged.

    New software that allows children to document and report harmful harrassment online. I would love to test this tool, I find it very interesting. I think this kind of thing is good, but never replaces a parent talking to a child. However, if there is nothing that "can be done" because local laws and others have no method of dealing with it, then I don't know if it will breed frustration. I think every computer should have an easy way to grab screenshots like my fireshot program in firefox. I think this should be part of every web browser.

digiteen2008 - Digital Literacy - 0 views

  • Some teachers are trying to use digital literacy in there classrooms daily to try to help students become involved. Our teachers use overhead projectors, smartboards, and televisions.Many of us use computers in our classes. If we do not learn how to use computers we could soon be separated by the digital divide. The digital divide could end up leaving some of us jobless. We need to be able to use all of the technology we have access to so we can succeed. In a article called "Digitally addicted kids threaten to return to civilization to the dark ages" a girl named Megan Meier committed suicide due to Cyber bullying. A kid named Josh Evans did this, who later turned out to be Megan's ex boyfriends mom Lori Drew. There are so many examples of digital literacy. We use them in everyday life. We use computers all the time, don’t we? I know if you work in an office then you do. Also, Teens are in love with text messages, although text messaging can be very harmful. While texting you could be bullying someone. Like I said before about computers, not only do business people use them, but parents and teens, and maybe some younger children. Teens get in chat rooms all the time. Some probably don’t even know what they are getting into. In chat rooms people can be pushed to do something or even be bullied. Chat rooms and the use of text messaging can be harmful.

Teen's death highlights cyber bullying trend - 0 views

  •  
    ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) I find this disturbing. If the Internet was used in a more meaningful way so that teenagers had a viable online support network and learning community the Internet would be seen as a valid tool to help people when distressed. Governments and community groups should be building this support networks online and not shutting down or blocking online access.

Online Safety - 0 views

  • How could we live without the Internet?
  • Smart Surfing First rule of smart surfing? Remain as anonymous as possible. That means keeping all private information private. Here are some examples of private information that you should never give out on the Internet: full name home address phone number Social Security number passwords names of family members credit card numbers Most credible people and companies will never ask for this type of information online. So if someone does, it's a red flag that they may be up to no good.

    How could we live without the internet? The internet plays a big role in our lives. Teens surfing the internet is a big problem now days because they are looking at things that they don't need to be looking at. Quotes: 'But besides the millions of sites to visit and things to do, the Internet offers lots of ways to waste time - and even get into trouble. And just as in the non-cyber world, some people you encounter online might try to take advantage of you - financially or physically.' From the Website.

Let's keep children safe in the cyber age | BlueRidgeNow.com - 2 views

  •  
    I firmly believe as a child of a very "nosy" mother, that I is the parents duty to keep their children in check, but I do not agree with this! If you don't trust you child enough to NOT read their messages, then maybe they don't need one! All this does is give them doubts of your trust, they will feel as if you are invading their privacy, and will be deleting things constantly. Parents need to understand that trust works both ways. This conversation is going to be award and neither the parents nor the child wants to have it, but you need to. It's one way of protecting your child without destroying their trust and doubting yours! Quotes: "I routinely check the texts and photos on their cell phones," says Susan Kain." "let's all talk to our children about Internet safety, social networking sites and "sexting."
