John Parson: what did our kids say...

What:  Following our staff PD, our class had a 'student' session on cyber safety with John Parson.  After the session, our year 7 & 8 students were given a google form to find out what their 'takeouts' from the session.

So what: we discovered that it was a worthwhile session for our akonga and some of our students were unaware of what they were sharing and who they were connecting with.  I discovered that I need to model and prompt them to think about what they are posting.  It was intersting to hear that a number of our students had social media accounts even though they were underage and some whanau are unaware of their childrens' activity.  Some excepts 'I used to add strangers (to social media accounts) but John told us about about cyber safety and I realised to never add strangers..'  'I think I will be careful ..what picture I upload of myself & ask friends if they mind me uploading their pictures.."

Now what:  To make sure students are aware of their own safety and respect for themselves when participating online for school and home activities.
