Internet Safety is on the mind of every parent. It is estimated that 2 out of 3 households have a computer and access to the cyberspace. What this also means, is that there are risks involved.
Kidproof Canada is pleased to offer one of the most current and up-to-date Internet safety programs available. Samantha Wilson is a well known speaker and expert on keeping kids safe while online and has worked with industry leaders such as Microsoft to help kids and parents enjoy the Internet while staying safe.
Think about this: 26% of kid’s ages 9 – 15 went to meet a friend that they met online without permission of their parents. What that tells us is that kids either don’t know the rules, or don’t understand the seriousness of the threat. CyberSafe covers the topic of Internet safety through interactive, non threatening and entertaining lessons.
Group work helps students:
• Identify between real world and online world
• Role play and scenarios are used to increase critical thinking skills
• Skills are learned to help students identify the tricks that predators will use to gain information and trust
• Safe surfing and responsibilities are explored
• Definitions and online etiquette
• Cyberbullying
• How to get the most out of the Internet while staying safe
Written by Samantha Wilson, CyberSafe focuses on teaching kids how to recognize warning signs, safe and unsafe situations and the skills they need to make safe choices. This is not a technical or software computer course.
