Description:
Concern has arisen for the safety of children using the Internet to support their education outside the school context. Inappropriate material such as pornography, inflammatory and racist writings can be accessed both by accident and with deliberate intent to view. Children are also perceived to be at risk from approaches by strangers, particularly in web-based chat rooms. A survey of the international literature in this area highlighted worldwide concern for the safety of young Internet users and it was generally agreed that schools have a fundamental role in ensuring their safety. The survey findings indicated that a thorough audit of Internet Safety teaching and practices was a vital stage in examining these practices and informing future planning. This paper reports on the consequent audit of Internet Safety practices in over 500 schools from 27 Local Education Authorities (LEAs) across England, commissioned by Becta and conducted during the Summer term 2002. Independent, state and special schools were included in the survey at both primary and secondary levels. ICT advisors from the sampled LEAs and representatives of Internet Safety organisations were also invited to complete a linked questionnaire. A number of recommendations for Internet Safety teaching, in particular, ensuring that children are aware of safe practices for surfing the Internet in less regulated contexts outside the school, will be presented based on the evidence gathered in the survey. Additionally emerging concerns for Internet Safety practices in schools such as the technical and moral difficulties of filtering Internet access via mobile technologies will be highlighted. ...

some caveats
The advice given in the book is mostly accurate and common sense. Some amount of it also pertains to anyone of any age using the Internet. As general guidelines, including those related to etiquette and safety.

However, there are two caveats. Firstly, it recommends that if you are at a cybercafe or publicly accessible computer, and browsing at a "protected or secure" area, that this is done using encryption (i.e. https). Since there could be malware on the computer. The problem is that encryption is insufficient against malware like keyloggers. These capture your keystrokes. They read in plain text everything that you type. The fact that encryption happens is irrelevant. The encryption refers to the channel and not to the endpoint where you are at. Another drawback is that the website that you are going is presumably some well known location, like a bank at which you have an account. But an unknown computer can have a pocket universe, where the routing to a bank URL goes to a fake website, pretending to be the bank. Perhaps in a Man In The Middle attack, where what you type is relayed to the real bank. Then, the fake website monitors all traffic. Later, it can log in as yourself. Here, the encryption happens to the fake website. Again, the encryption only protects the channel from evesdroppers. It cannot protect you if that endpoint is bogus.

A second caveat is the text's recommendation that a teenager's username should not indicate "age, race, religion or gender", because this could invite attacks based on that information. I respectfully disagree with the recommendation. By way of explanation, I offer an analogy. Last week, on the University of Southern California campus, there was an event, "Take Back the Night". Run by a women's group, and meant to educate women and men. It suggests that women do not lock themselves indoors at night, due to fears of assault or rape on the streets, since that is tantamount to blaming the victim.

Similarly, suppose you are a teenage, and you want a username like buddha_fan, because it expresses your religious belief. Yes, this can cause you to get hate messages. But if you really want that username, perhaps you should go right ahead and do so. Because to do otherwise is to give in to bigots, as you would be restricting your behaviour on the Internet because of prejudice.

A counterargument, that is perhaps implicit in the text, is that you, the teenager, should wait till you are an adult. Then, you will have the maturity to deal with such problems. My response is that maturity should be sooner rather than later. Please note, I'm not saying, in the above example, that it is good that you should get such responses. But in the event that you do, it helps you develop within yourself earlier. An inoculation.

There is also another aspect. Revealing information about yourself in a username is much safer than the Take Back the Night campaign. I agree with the latter, but pragmatically, some streets can indeed be dicey at night. That campaign does entail some physical risk. By comparison, choosing certain usernames is far less riskier. You at a computer in your home or library are much safer than being on certain streets. ... Read more

Product Description
The Internet has become a big part of our lives. If before it was just a part of business communication or an avenue for researching for school projects, now, it has become an integral part of our lives. Businesses take to the Internet to promote their products, even sell them online. Companies utilize the web for product research and development. Organizations likewise use the Internet to keep in touch with every member of the group. Even if members are scattered throughout the country or even throughout the world, it becomes easy to bring everyone together through e-mail or e-groups.Individuals use the Internet to connect with friends and family in far flung places. Through the Internet, they find people who share thesame passion, and build relationships through it. The Internet has also become a very valuable source of information, be it for research or just to find the show times of the current movie releases.The question now is, what are our children doing when they go online? ...

Description:
This paper reports on an evaluation of Net-Detectives, a creative online role play activity aimed at 9-12 year olds. Net-Detectives forms part of Kidsmart, an Internet awareness programme aimed at school children. It was evaluated through a multiple method data collection using questionnaire surveys, follow up telephone interviews with teachers and observation in use in three UK schools during the summer term of 2003. All sources of data collected agreed that a number of benefits arise from participation in the Net-Detectives online role play. The pupils learned about Internet safety in a motivating and challenging environment. They empathised with others gaining an understanding of their motivations and practiced the ICT skills being taught. They particularly enjoyed being 'detectives' and interacting with others outside their school. However, the role of the 'hosts' in preparing participants and in moderating their communication is key to the success of the online role play. This preparation needs to be thoroughly planned for both the teachers whose classes are participating and for their pupils as uncertainty leads to extra communication that interferes with the smooth running of the role play exercise. It was very clear that first the technical issues have to be resolved and then, issues to do with the learner's comprehension and expectations of the task, before social interaction online can result in learning. The paper concludes by presenting the recommendations suggested by this study for hosting an online role play in the school environment. ... Read more
