As I looked back at this activity,
I was reminded of the many safety rules and measures that we teachers have to
safe-guard to ensure safety is carried out while our students are on
cyberspace. In researching and designing the school e-safety policies in the
activity, I reflected on my own experience of teaching a lesson with e-safety. That
lesson helped me to carefully examine my role as a teacher and my aim to help
safe-guard my students from cyberspace. In order for my aim to be successfully achieved,
I came up with these school e-safety policies. They are:
• Students should be taught responsible behavior and protection while online.
• The principal delegates’ responsibility to staff on teaching e-safety
rules/messages to all students.E• Students should be supervised at all times when using the internet.
• Students should have a clear and defined educational purpose for their
search.
• Access to blocked sites for educational purposes should be implemented by the
ICT coordinator to ensure safety.
• Pupils should be aware that the use of the internet is for the purpose of the
teaching/learning process and not personal agenda.
• The use of social networking (facebook, messenger, skype) should be
prohibited for learner of a certain age group.
If these policies are effectively
carried out, then our students will be safe from the dangers of cyberspace and
this will help them to communicate and collaborate information better.
