Internet Safety and Responsible Use

I found last night’s training session for Parents and Families at PL very informative. It was useful to me as a parent as well as an East Lothian teacher. What could have been a very heavy topic was presented in a varied and interesting way, making it accessible to the audience. I think it is essential that we stay a step ahead and would find a session like this useful each year as things will have moved on in a year’s time.

The Internet Safety Training, at Preston Lodge on 3 June 2008, was excellent. This demonstrated very clearly that our knowledge of internet safety issues is insufficient no matter how experienced we think we may be. Parents, pupils and teachers will benefit from this training: this needs to be part of everyone’s continuing education!

The training at RH on 10/06 was very good, well structured and informative. I hope that a link to this site is put on every Primary School’s blog so that parents can get involved at an early stage.

I was at the session at Ross High last night. It was excellent and I was mortified by how much I learnt! Thanks very much guys and I would encourage all parents and teachers to go to one of the workshops.

Hi Ollie

I really enjoyed the presentation tonight. I think it would be a good idea to have a link to the ELC Support wiki from here. This could inform parents about ELC policy for Inernet safety, self-publishing and permissions.

Good idea Karen - I’ll get David to add a link. Glad you enjoyed the presentation. OB

I really enjoyed the presentation last night, it is to be discussed at my DM next week as we don’t have anything like this in my region at present. Execellent delivery of a very serious issue - well done. Many thanks, Sarah.

I was at the talk in North Berwick last night. Learnt a huge amount and also made me think differently. I like the idea of conduct online being important, just as it is in the real world.
Thank you both very much. Glad I went. Spoke to many people who now wish they’d gone..
