Gems trawling through Blogs
I recently trawled through the Edubloggers award blogs to find hidden gems...and came up with this one from Caitlin, a Year 7 student? not sure, take a look at her and the class's blog of an example of how blogging can be integral to 'anytime, anywhere' learning and teaching ethos - http://scoopercaitlin.edublogs.org/2010/08/22/hello-world/#comments
Here are her rules for safer blogging, I love the respectfulness of them, very intuitive and advice that many children and adults alike should take notice of:
Room 7 Bloggers:
* Think before they post. Once something is posted, it can be online forever.
* Don't post anything they don't want others to know—or that you wouldn’t say to them face to face.
* Respect their friends too—that ‘funny’ photo of them might not be so funny for them, and they might not be very happy if it is posted for everyone in the world to see.
*Treat others as they would like to be treated.
* Respect other people’s content. For example, a photo that a friend took is their property, not ours. It can only be posted online if they say it can be.
* Keep their personal information private. They don’t share personal details like their name, address or phone number with people they don’t already know in real life.
* Take care and you’ll have fun online!
Thank you Caitlin

Parents and their E-Safety stratagies
Thoughts from parents at Google
http://www.google.co.uk/familysafety/tips.html
Watch some of our parents at Google talking about how they manage their children’s safety online and read safety tips from Google below. Or read advice on specific safety issues such as inappropriate content and cyberbullying from child safety experts that we work with.
Here are some general suggestions for how to help keep your family safe online.
1.Keep computers in a central place. This will make it easier to keep an eye on your children’s activities.
2.Know where your children go online. If you have young children, you might use the Internet with them. For older children you could talk about what kinds of sites they like to visit and what isn’t appropriate for your family. You can also check where your kids have been by looking at the history in your browser menu. Another option is to use filtering tools like Google SafeSearch.
3.Teach Internet safety. It’s impossible to monitor your child’s online activity all the time. As they get older, they need to know how to use the Internet safely and responsibly when they’re on their own.
* Use privacy settings and sharing controls. Many sites that feature user-generated content, including YouTube, Blogger and social networking sites, have sharing controls that put users in charge of who sees personal blogs, photos, videos, and profiles. Using sharing controls is particularly important when you or your children share personal information such as names, addresses, or phone numbers, on public sites. Teach your children to respect the privacy of friends and family by not identifying people by name in public profiles and pictures.
* Protect passwords. Remind your children not to give out their passwords. Make sure they make a habit of unclicking “remember me” settings on public computers such as those at school or in the library.
* Beware of strangers. Teach your children not to arrange in-person meetings with people they “meet” online, and not to share personal information with online strangers because people may not be who they claim to be.
4.Help prevent viruses. Use antivirus software and update it regularly. Make sure your children avoid downloading from file-sharing websites and don’t accept files or open email attachments from unknown people.
5.Teach your children to communicate responsibly. Take the following as a good rule of thumb: if you wouldn’t say it to someone’s face, don’t text it, email it, instant message it, or post it as a comment on someone’s page.
6.View all content critically. Just because you see it online, there’s no guarantee it’s true. Children should learn how to distinguish reliable sources from unreliable ones, and how to verify information they find online. Make sure kids understand that cutting and pasting content directly from a website may be plagiarism.

National E-Safety Report
In what is believed to be the largest study of its kind in the world, 547 education establishments in England and Wales assessed their own E-Safety provision.
The report provides an evidence base that has not previously existed and allows teachers and the government to understand national performance as never before.
Schools obviously have a moral obligation to ensure that their IT provision does not put children at risk and to ensure that the children’s mobile phones (which can access the internet) do not put themselves or others at risk.
The report, conducted by the University of Plymouth and South West Grid for Learning reveals that the filtering out of unwanted and harmful websites and the adoption of E-Safety policy by schools is generally strong, but that staff training is one of the weakest areas of E-Safety in schools.
The report also reveals that primary schools generally rated themselves lower compared to their secondary counterparts and suggests that there are fewer opportunities for e safety advice to children in rural and semi-rural schools compared to urban areas.
As Dr Andy Phippen of the School of Management, University of Plymouth said, “We can say with authority that staff training is consistently one of the weakest aspects of online safety practice in schools.”
As a result of these conclusions SWGfL has just created opportunities for certified CPD (Continuous Professional Development) with the introduction of the EPICT Online Safety qualification. This is an online course for all professionals, not just in schools, to further research E-Safety within the context of their own workplace and submit a resulting assignment that will, if successful, demonstrate professional standards. This will enable all professionals who work with young people to gain a greater level of understanding issues and how to improve e safety provision. There’s more information at www.swgfl.org.uk/epict
“This report from Dr Phippen and the University shows just how urgent the need is for countrywide training of everyone involved in E-Safety,” said David Wright. “We are very proud to be at the forefront of this work and I hope that within the next year through EPICT, staff training standards will be better served and that the new SWGfL EPICT Online Safety Qualification is further complemented by a whole range of expert courses and training opportunities”.
Mobile phones and hand held devices are also identified as being a challenge for both primary and secondary schools. In primary schools, Dr Phippen suggested that this is because they assume that their pupils do not have mobile devices.
The report additionally indicates that primary schools are also challenged by the issues of password security and technical security – possibly because these are areas where the expertise can be lacking in smaller schools.
The report represents assessments made by 547 schools in England and Wales who made use of the 360 Degree Safe E-Safety tool (www.360safe.org.uk). The tool not only enables schools to assess their own provision against 28 separate aspects of their e safety provision but it offers improvement advice and is free to use. On examining the programme’s performance Dr Phippen commented that, “Self review is a well established practice within the UK school system and accreditation visits to date have demonstrated that self-review ratings have been generally accurate.”
This report will become an annual publication by the South West Grid for Learning and will provide a “state of the nation” report on online safety that provides an unparalleled evidence base for informing thinking in schools as well effectively informing policy change in the field. The database will continue to grow as more establishments sign up and will increase in authority as the tool and its adoption matures.
For more information on EPICT go to www.swgfl.org.uk/epict or call 0845 601 3203.

A recent E-Safety Ofsted report
This has been taken directly from a school's recent E-Safety Ofsted report:
A school deemed to be "outstanding" in this respect. The following is copied direct from an Ofsted report.
Secondary School – Outstanding
The overall effectiveness of e-safety was judged to be outstanding.
Outcomes for students are outstanding.
• The small number of incidents that have been experienced have been exceptionally well managed by senior leaders and external agencies in line with the acceptable user policy and established safeguarding and protection practice
• Students of all ages and backgrounds are effectively taught to safely handle and mange risk in a rich technology environment. The school nurtures responsible behaviour and attitudes and builds resilience by teaching students what constitutes an unsafe situation and the consequences of ignoring good advice. Students are also given the confidence and skills to resist peer pressure.
The quality of provision is outstanding
• The school provides an exemplary e-safety curriculum on the school website which enables staff to deliver high quality personal guidance lessons and assemblies.
• In addition, all students from Year 7 to Year 11 have timetabled information and communication technology lessons which are permeated by e-safety. As students move through the school essential skills and understanding are strengthened. This prepares them really well for the next stage of education, training or employment.
• The provision for all students is effectively adapted to meet the needs of age and ability and progressively develops their knowledge and understanding of e-safety as they mature into adults.
• The school makes certain that programmes are flexible so that they can be personalised to take account of individual circumstances, for example students arriving at short notice or those at an early stage of learning English.
• Opportunities are provided before, during and after the school day for those with limited access to new technologies or little experience of more advanced technology.
• Opportunities are also provided to inspire and interest the very able, gifted or talented to use their skills in positive and productive ways.
The leadership and management of e-safety are outstanding.
• The school has clear vision for the safe use of new technology and this is reflected in the unambiguous acceptable user policies for both students and staff.
• Senior leaders have established a talented e-safety team comprising eSafety manager, pastoral manager and systems manager. They are reflective, self-critical and pro-active.
• You have created a climate in which all staff have a strong sense of ownership of e-safety practice. This approach is bolstered by explicit and effectively disseminated e-safety action plans.
• Students are very aware of what is expected of them when following user policy good practice. As a result, they are responsible safe users.
• The governing body have ratified all policies and have an identified governor for Child Protection which also includes e-safety responsibilities.
• Parents are active partners in enabling students to stay safe.
The quality of training is outstanding.
• The e-safety team has established a pattern of high quality training, tailored to needs, for all staff. Robust evaluation of all training and practice ensures that a strong impact is made on the outcomes for students.
• The e-safety team are determined to ensure that training remains relevant and keeps pace with technological advances to ensure that students are effectively protected.
• The expertise and experience of external agencies are successfully used to enhance the quality of staff training.

Quick & Dirty Facebook guide by Rob Ellis...my resources follow
Quick 'n' dirty guide to staying safe on Facebook
First of all I, or for that matter anyone else, can't guarantee safety but I hope this page will make some difference for readers.
Background
For sometime now changes to Facebook's privacy settings have given rise to safety concerns. In any case some users were not being at all careful enough with what they posted and with whom they communicated. Facebook are now rolling out new and simplified arrangements for managing your privacy settings http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=394231632130 but I wait to see whether these allow you the degree of privacy that was once available of whether the changes are merely about a user's ability to manage their current settings more easily.
The links below illustrate the changes made to settings themselves. Please note that I can't guarantee the content/accuracy of external sites or documents.
http://mattmckeon.com/facebook-privacy/
http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/04/facebook-timeline
The idea that your details can be used to steal your identity, your pictures used for a whole variety of unpleasant purposes, your posts used against you in interviews, hate pages set up, location posting prompting robbery from empty houses and other outcomes have been well rehearsed. The question is what to do to minimise the likelihood of this happening?
Before something goes wrong
1. Don't share your password with anyone no matter how much you love them. This old cynic knows that times change. Passwords are like toothbrushes; you wouldn't share that with your best friend!
2. What you say is in front of far more people than would normally hear you in the 3D world. Don't say anything you wouldn't want the world to hear.
3. Keep it (and by it I mean everything) private. And no, it isn't private to let just friends see those dodgy pics. That's just one step away via copy and paste from the whole online world seeing them. Have a look at http://mashable.com/2010/02/19/facebook-update-privacy/ for advice or http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/13/facebook-privacy-settings_n_575732.html?ref=fb&src=sp for video help. This site gives more video 'howtos' especially about friends lists. http://www.allfacebook.com/2009/12/facebook-privacy-video/
4. Teachers, don't add students as friends. It's a shame but not a good idea unless your pages are exclusively for learning.
5. Advice for parents. http://www.commonsensemedia.org/facebook-privacy-settings-what-parents-need-know
6. Check your settings. http://www.reclaimprivacy.org/ or alternatively http://www.profilewatch.org/
7. Some specifics to correct now. http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/109538/7-things-to-stop-doing-now-on-facebook
8. I can't emphasise care with images enough. Once they're out there they're out there and for good. Think hard before you post even if your privacy settings are as good as possible. More people, even unexpected ones, can see and copy them than you might think.
9. When you add a friend of a friend remember that they might never have met either.
10. Read the privacy guide. http://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.php
11. Don't include your email. If that's compromised it takes ages to change to a new one. Don't include your year of birth either because it makes identity theft one step easier.
12. If you see something about someone else report it. If you just look you're part of the problem.
13. If you only go to one of these sites make it http://www.thinkuknow.co.uk
NB. See below for two documents specifically for teachers by other writers.
When things go wrong
So let's suppose the worst has happened. What do you do? Most of the advice focusses on cyberbullying and unwanted contact.
1. Well for a start tell someone. I can't begin to imagine the range of scenarios but this seems to be key.
2. Keep copies of all the nasty stuff. Learn how to save hyperlinks and to take screenshots of pages. Many online offences are their own evidence.
3. At the bottom of the first column is a link to block that person. Use it.
4. Similarly there is the facility to report pages that can be found in the same place. Check Facebook's terms and conditions so you can be specific when you complain. http://www.facebook.com/Spiller7#!/terms.php?ref=pf
5. Don't engage with the offender(s)
6. Learn how to report. If you're a young person click the CEOP REPORT button in my nav bar.
7. Where to go if your account has been hacked. http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=1025
8. Specific advice from bullying.co.uk http://www.bullying.co.uk/index.php/young-people/cyberbullying/facebook-bullying.html
