Internet Safety Session: North Berwick
Jump to Comments
Last week we held the fifth session at Knox Academy in Haddington.
One teacher’s feedback:
“I really enjoyed the presentation last night, it is to be discussed at my Departmental Meeting next week as we don’t have anything like this in my region at present. Excellent delivery of a very serious issue - well done! “
Tonight (Tuesday 24th June) we are hosting the fifth session for parents and carers at North Berwick High School.
This session will start promptly at 7pm.
Please email me at twatson@eastlothian.gov.uk if you would like to book a place or if you have any queries.

For a fun way for parents to jump-start a discussion about internet and social networking safety, here’s a website that includes an instructional video and a very easy quiz.
http://www.auntlee.com/safety/
The video is a selection of silly clips supposedly posted to the MySpace pages of the famous auntlee.com puppy and some of her friends. The clips demonstrate mistakes kids can make online.
The 10 question quiz covers the topics of cyber-bullying, privacy, safety, dangers of spyware and malware, etc.
The quiz doesn’t really focus on stranger-danger type concerns but rather gently and humorously reminds the reader that it’s possible to hurt people’s feelings, to mislead people who don’t realize you’re joking, to remember that online postings can be seen by anybody and that postings are often impossible to remove once posted.
