An Internet Minute

It is staggering to think about the volume of content that anyone with internet connectivity can be exposed to. As a teacher and Year Coordinator I used to advise parents about monitoring their child's computer access and recommend setting up the computer (PC) in a communal living space away. 

With mobile technology and devices such as ipods, mobile phones, and tablets, it is increasingly hard for parents to constantly monitor their child, or in most cases children's, internet access. Creating a docking station for all mobile devices to be stored when not in use and restricting access time for children are positive steps parents can make. But the overwhelming positive impact will come from parents understanding the technology, functionality and security settings in conjunction with teaching cybersafety.
