  1. Internet Safety for Parents LIS 560 Spring 2010 By Kathy Mar

  2. Introduction LESSON GOAL: To teach parents about enhancing internet safety via parental control software TARGET AUDIENCE: Parents who are concerned about their child’s safety online. • These parents range in age anywhere from the twenties to the fifties (and beyond); it’s less about age than about interest in the subject • Their main similarity is the desire to find out how best to protect their children’s cyber well-being

  3. The Lesson - Outline • Intro • Attention Activity • Relevance Discussion • Lesson Commences • Computer Labs • Finish – Handout & Evaluation

  4. The Lesson - Intro This workshop is designed to relate to all of the learning styles portrayed in both the McCarthy and Kolb models of learning. It includes: • Information to make the subject personal & relevant • A quiz (to engage people) • Online demonstration & exercise • Discussion of age-appropriate software titles for analysis • Follow-up material

  5. The Lesson - Attention Activity:Online Safety Assessment Quiz Question 1. How much time does your child spend online? • less than one hour per week • between 1-2 hours per week • between 2-3 hours per week • more than 3 hours per week Question 2.

  6. The Lesson – So Many Options… “A cyber-security colleague Kirk Bailey (2008) made a comment at a recent meeting that if the Internet were a city street, knowing what he does, he would not walk it in daylight!” – Barbara Endicott-Popovsky

  7. The Lesson – Part 1 • Go back to the opening quote. Discuss how, while clearly online safety is a primary concern, the Internet is also a wonderful source of information for students and it’s become a very important learning tool. We want to encourage students to use the Internet for learning (and sometimes leisure), but to do so safely. • Determine the level of Internet savvy among the parents; reassure those with little experience that it’s not necessary to be computer whizzes to learn how to secure their home systems, and let those who are savvier know that they’ll still learn valuable tips and suggestions in the workshop. • Find out the ages of the children; divide group according to children’s ages.  • Toddler-elementary school • Elementary school • Middle school • High school

  8. The Lesson – Part 2 Online Demonstration Instructor accesses the Internet using a computer with unrestricted access • Visit several sites, including a few that might be considered “risqué” (but not too risqué) Instructor then accesses the Internet using a computer with parental control software installed • Visit those same sites, demonstrating how parental control software restricts access to those deemed risqué. Class Activity—Parents try their own searches on both computers • Parents conduct various guided searches on both the restricted and unrestricted computers to see how the parental controls work • Provide a list of keyword terms to search on • Provide a list of sites to visit Parents conduct their own searches using terms of their own devising

  9. The Lesson – Part 3 • Finish up with closing thoughts on the importance of children staying safe online • Provide follow-up material for parents interested in doing further research • Ask for participants to fill out an evaluation of the class
