Technology today is accepted parents, teachers and the community to be as significant part of our lives, Technology is present in both our homes and our school. The increased presence of technology brings up the issue of internet safety for students. Internet safety deals with problems like cyber bullying, cyber related suicide, and harassment. According to Lauren and Nguyen online harassment has increased from 6% in 2000 to 11% in 2010. With these issues on the rise, it is the responsibility of the parents, teachers and the community to come together and create a plan to tackle these issues. In order to create an efficient and effective plan parents, teachers and the community need to consider the 5 P’s; people, places, programs,policies, and process.
People- Who is affected by these issues can we get them involved in the solution? Places- Where are students using technology? Programs- What are the different types of programs that are using technology ? Do we have to adjust our plan in any way to suit them? Policies-What policies do we currently have in place to support internet safety? Are these policies working? If not, what do we need to do to make them work if we decide to keep them? Processes- What activities,discussions, and workshops do we have to discuss and work on issues dealing with internet safety? Are they effective? If not, how can we make them more effective? Are there more activities,workshops, and discussions we would like to make create? Once the community answers these questions, they will have the information they need to create a plan that the community will embrace and effectively use to face the issue of internet safety.
