Internet Safety and Responsible Use

Ollie emphasizes that the key part of the term "Internet Safety" is the Responsible Use of the internet. The real problem all around the schools of the world is  that we always face the challenge of locking block a service down or or keeping  that service open and work with children and young people to educate them how to use it responsibly.

A great example is mobile phones in schools. Ollie believes that mobile phones aren;t banned in schools because they are a distraction, but because the teachers have a class management problem.

Ollie then speaks about privacy and how it is defined by different groups of people. He outlines the safety issues which are generated by the internet and gives us some safety guidelines.

He concludes that if the problem is children using social media irresponsibly, perhaps the solution is in young people using social media responsibly.
