6. Being online – Positives for young people?
Communication skills
Money management
Being online – Positives for young people?
Computer skills
Commitment
Confidence
Communication skills – communicating is one of the prime reasons for children going online. They are talking to others, sharing their lives, building connections and friendships. Children have the opportunity to build and maintain connections and communication with a far wider group of people than has been possible in the past.
Computer skills – children are engrossed in technology at a very young age. They see older siblings or family members using computers and Iphones and quickly copy them. How many of your children before the age of 5 knew how to operate your phone or laptop? These skills are then developed and enhanced over time. As technology plays an increasingly important part in all of our lives so does the importance of being able to use it effectively.
Creativity – Through building online spaces and avatars (online characters), online games encourage you to be creative. By using their creativity in this environment children are learning new skills, exploring their imagination and opening their minds to new opportunities.
Research – Children research online. They turn to search engines and other online tools to find out about an interest or piece of history. They are learning how to find and understand complex information from a range of sources and apply this knowledge. Being able to navigate the internet in this way is going to be an increasingly important skill, both in daily life and at work.
Confidence – The internet gives you the ability to be anybody you want to be and try new things. In the real world a child may struggle to build friendships, but online they can be a ‘popular’ king of an online universe (literally!).
Money management – Who here has bought their child online currency, or an online game membership for their child? Children build accounts online and use the currency gained or bought to buy key pieces of online merchandise, such as pets or furniture. Gaming companies suggest that by doing so, they are learning money management. A key lesson is that you can’t buy everything you want and you must work for it. What do you think?
Can anybody think of anything I have missed?

9. Social networking Based on research from NSPCC (2013/14)…
Over 1 billion accounts
Over half a million comments posted every single minute
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) mandates that websites that collect information about users (like Facebook) aren't allowed to sign on anyone under the age of 13
Based on research from NSPCC (2013/14)…
92% of children and young people had accessed social networking sites and apps before the age of 13; (36% had signed up to Facebook and 60% to YouTube)
Most popular social networking platforms used by children and young people were YouTube,
Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat and Minecraft
In 73% of the cases/sites used, children provided an alternative minimum age to the official age stipulated by the networks.
Facebook
Over 1 billion accounts
Over half a million comments posted every single minute
Suggested teenagers moving away from FB to other places like Twitter
Change functions often, difficult to keep up to date without being a member
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) mandates that websites that collect information about users (like Facebook) aren't allowed to sign on anyone under the age of 13

10. Social networking What else is being used? YouTube Twitter Instagram
Slightly (largely) more scary…
Omegle: Talk to strangers!
Chatroulette
Ask.fm
These are some screen grabs from three more highly popular social networking sites. Twitter, Youtube and Instagram. All these websites require users to be over 13 to have an account
Twitter
With an estimated 72 million active twitter accounts (as of December 2012), Twitter has found widespread appeal due to the ability to ‘Follow’ and share information, news and gossip with anyone else on Twitter – from friends and family to celebrities.
Twitter is proving to be increasingly popular with young people, and whilst users can make their posts private (i.e. only visible to people they have accepted as followers) users may feel encouraged to keep their posts open to all Twitter users.
YouTube
YouTube allows users to create their own channel for uploading videos. YouTube channels can be open to the public or restricted to specific users or groups. Users can subscribe to other people’s channels to receive updates about new content and as a user you can decide whether people can comment on, ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down’ their videos.
Over 800 million unique users visit YouTube each month
Over 4 billion hours of video are watched each month on YouTube
72 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute
Instagram
Instagram users can share their photos with other people on Instagram, comment, like, search for and follow specific people and search for hashtags for specific types of photos people have posted.
A new Photo Map feature allows geo-tagging of photos – CEOP advise that this feature should be switched of for young people. Users can report inappropriate photos to Instagram.
90 million Monthly Active Users
40 million Photos Per Day
8500 Likes Per Second
1000 Comments Per Second
Once again children and young people need to think carefully about what they share and who they share it with.
Create profiles and can send each other questions, with the option of doing so anonymously

11. But quite possibly most popular IM among younger audience
Instant messaging
Private messaging
Skype – IM, Voice + Webcam chat
BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) – Free to BlackBerry uses, now available on other platforms
WhatsApp – Send message, audio files, photos, Video, etc. Contacts from address book + Group cha
But quite possibly most popular IM among younger audience
SnapChat – Messages, Photos, Videos sent to contacts and expire after set time 1-10 secs (except, now ways to save!!)
Here are some examples of networks and apps that allow users to send private instant messages. All of which are free to other users within the service.
BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) is an instant messaging service that is free to all BlackBerry users. Users have a unique pin that they can share to allow others to chat with them. Users can send text based messages, links, pictures and videos to individuals or to groups of people they have added.
WhatsApp is similar to BBM in that it allows users to send messages, audio files, photos, videos and a current location to people on their contact list. Contacts are added automatically based on the phone numbers stored in a mobile device. Contacts can also create group chats that involve other WhatsApp users outside of their own list of contacts.
Skype is similar to both WhatsApp and BBM with the addition feature of allowing webcam conversations between users.
Children and young people are more likely to take risks and share private information such as photos in a private space. Inform the audience that private messaging needs to only happen with people they know and trust in the real world. If this is not possible the chat needs to remain public, or they limit what they share.

12. Blogging and chat sites
These are some examples of popular blogging and chat websites. Some of these sites allow you to post anonymously which can cause cyberbullying issues.
On Tumblr, users can create their own public or private blog where they can post information, updates and content. Users can follow, like and comment on specific blog posts and can also reblog and repost information from another blog onto their own. Users can change the layout and appearance of their blog allowing individuality between different blog pages.
Ask.fm is a question and answer based website where users can create an account and receive questions from other members. The questions can be posted anonymously, and Ask.fm accounts can also be linked to Facebook accounts via an app.

13. Gaming
Ask the audience if they can tell you the names of the gaming sites their child uses?
As you will know, gaming is very different to how it used to be. Put Pacman and Tetris to the back of your mind and think MMORPG – or ‘Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game’, which in short means that a site can have thousands of users and the game never ends.
Many gaming sites allow you to play and communicate against other users all over the world.
One of the most popular ways for children to kill time is on their games consoles. Put your hands up if you have a console in your home? Keep your hand up if it links to the internet? The majority of these do, which means your child can link to other users, talk and play against them.

14. Mobile Technology Mobile technology Chat Text Location Online Images
Do you know your child’s favourite apps?
Does your child use your phone, are you apps age appropriate?
Mobiles now basically mini computers providing wide range of facilities and features including use of Apps:
Talking/chatting

“Cyber bullying is bullying that takes place via technology. Whether on gaming sites, through a mobile device or via a social networking site, the effects can be devastating for the young people involved.
With online technologies accessible 24 hours a day, cyberbullying can be relentless. It can also intrude on spaces that were previously personal, for example at home; it can feel that there is no escape from it.
21% of 8 to 11 year olds have been deliberately targeted, threatened or humiliated by an individual or group through the use of mobile phone or the internet and 28% of 11 – to 16 year olds.

31. Cyberbullying – Tips for supporting
Offer reassurance and support.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions
Tell your child that if they are being bullied to always keep the evidence - Text messages, s, Screen-prints of posts/messages
Block the bullies - Block on chat, social networks, mobile phones (apps available!)
Report bullying content to websites it’s hosted on (e.g. Facebook, YouTube, XBOX live).. unless it is illegal, then report to CEOP / Police
Continued bullying, take further; in school – contact school, outside school – offending parents/police as final resort.

Advice and information for different ages stopcyberbullying.org
Offer reassurance and support. Your child may be in need of emotional support or feel like they have nowhere to turn. It is rare that Cyberbullying is only taking place online and is often someone your child knows through school or a group they attend. Their school should have policies and procedures for dealing with cyberbullying.
Your child could visit Cybermentors, who are an online counseling service with a difference; the councilors are also
children and young people. This site has proved very popular and offers practical advice -
Tell your child that if they are being bullied to always keep the evidence. Whether it’s a text message or , tell them not to reply to the bully or delete the comments. Ask your child if they know the bully or where the messages are coming from. Often it is someone within the school environment and can be dealt with quickly and effectively with assistance from the school.
Block the bullies
If someone is bullying your child on a social networking or chat site encourage them to block or delete them so that
they can’t contact them anymore.
Report any bullying content to the website it’s hosted on. If content has been posted, for example a video or image, which is upsetting your child you should report it to the website, for example, Facebook. Learn how you would report content on sites like Facebook and YouTube; every site is different. Contacting the website is the only way to get the offensive content removed, unless it is illegal. In cases of illegal content for example indecent images or videos of young people under 18, contact your local police or report it to
