Have Worried about Youth
3. Kids! I don't know what's wrong with these kids today!
Kids! Who can understand anything they say?
Kids! They a disobedient, disrespectful oafs!Noisy, crazy, dirty, lazy, loafers!
While we're on the subject:
Kids! You can talk and talk till your face is blue!
Kids! But they still just do what they want to do!
Why can't they be like we were,Perfect in every way?
What's the matter with kids today?
Kids from Bye Bye Birdie, 1963. Lyrics by Lee Adams
4. Evolution of Online Safety
Children as victims:
1.0 (most of the 90s) Pornography & predators: Protectingchildren from bad adults. Children as consumers of information, not as creators and based on assumptions of risk, not actual research
2.0(around 2007) Protecting children from peers. Recognizing that kids can create content harm other kids and themselves.Cyberbullying& posting inappropriate or dangerous content
5. Empowering approach
Research-based, not fear-based, so relevant
Flexible, layered not one-size-fits-all
Respectful of youth stakeholders in positive outcomes, not just potential victims
Positive: Not just safety from (bad outcomes) but safety for good outcomes
Comprehensive = Incorporates safety, security, citizenship, and research/information literacy

6. 4 Types of Online Safety
Physical safety freedom from physical harm
Psychological safety freedom from cruelty, harassment, and exposure to potentially disturbing material
Reputational and legal safety freedom from unwanted social, academic, professional, and legal consequences that could affect you for a lifetime
Identity, property, and community safety freedom from theft of identity & property

7. The Net effect
For the most part,the online world is pretty much like the real world, but there are a few special things to think about
It can be permanent
Material can be copied and pasted
Lots of people can see it
You dont know for sure whos seeing it
AND
Disinhibition: Lack of visual cues reducesempathy
