Internet Safety Workshop for parents on Wednesday 22nd November at 7pm. We will have internet safety expert Jeremy Pagden speaking with 3rd - 6th classes during the day and hosting a special parents workshop from 7pm - 8pm in the school hall. With the current intense focus on smart phones in the media and from the Dept of Education, this is extremely topical and I would appeal to all parents, especially those of children from 3rd class upwards to try to attend this talk. This is a great chance for parents to get expert advice on:
- Legislation and the implications around Cyberbullying for you and your child
- Apps to avoid and how Apps can be designed for malicious purposes.
- Gaming and Internet addiction
- The consequences of publishing, posting, sending and uploading inappropriate content
- The dangers of sexting & the legal ramifications of using Social Media inappropriately.
- Technology solutions, tips and advice that can be used to manage our children's online activities.
- The value of 'old fashioned' parenting techniques.
- What is AI and what are the positives and negatives of it for us and our children .
