Aspects of E-Safety introduced in the professional studies lecture were very useful in laying out the risks and procedure for dealing with children's use of the internet. This short video would be acceptable for the younger children in the primary school system... A more mature version would be required for children in the upper age limits of primary school, but the message is clear enough to know how to deal with these issues should any child be faced with them.
This idea has always been something I have been aware of. Being an passionate computer gamer I have had an online presence from my early teens and the idea of ''trolling'' has always be pretty prevalent in this form of entertainment. The internet required me to have a thick skin about these sorts of things but the threats in more recent years have become a lot more pressing with the advent of various social networking sites and so a thick skin is no longer enough. Children need to be made aware of the threats of predators online and videos like this may seem a bit silly at times (the song!) but it is crucial that the issues raised are taken on board.
