UK teenagers without the internet are 'educationally disadvantaged' - University of Oxford

UK teenagers without the internet are 'educationally disadvantaged' - University of Oxford | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

A major in-depth study examining how teenagers in the UK are using the internet and other mobile devices says the benefits of using such technologies far outweigh any perceived risks. 

 

The findings are based on a large-scale study of more than 1,000 randomly selected households in the UK, coupled with regular face-to-face interviews with more than 200 teenagers and their families between 2008 and 2011. 

 

 

Gust MEES's insight:

SO, knowing this NOW, Education should go a step further and HELP protecting the kids by TEACHING the basics of Cyber-Security and Internet-Safety!

 

BOTH are a MUST in 21st Century, while Internet-Safety is the THEORY and basics of Cyber-Security the ===> PRACTICE! <===

InternetSafety for Kids & Families

InternetSafety for Kids & Families | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

In an age when everyone can author or share information to a mass audience almost instantly, it is more critical than ever to develop and sharpen our ability to discern the credible from the implausible things we see online.


There are many purveyors of false or biased information on the Internet – a company seductively advertising the effectiveness of its weight loss product, a politically-motivated organization hoping to persuade you to vote for their cause, a hacker attempting to fool you into clicking on something that infects your computer with malicious software.


Thankfully, among the mounds of information we find online, there is also the credible and the safe. It’s a good habit to have and teach others how to figure out which is which. I believe the skill to do this is made up of 2 basic things: information literacy and information security.

It's vital we teach social networking skills in school

It's vital we teach social networking skills in school | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Social networking, especially via Twitter and Facebook, has become a major part in modern life for many millions of people.

 

We need to educate young people to understand that it is wrong to write anything on a social networking site which you wouldn’t say to someone’s face. As it is, it is all to easy to get carried away when you’re addressing someone you can’t see and whom you may not know personally.

 

Second, Twitter and Facebook are, as has been well publicised, a groomer’s dream. It is vital that children – and I’m sure most parents and schools are already doing this – be carefully drilled in spotting the dangers. That means, for example, never posting suggestive photographs, ‘flirting’ online with strangers, or agreeing to meet anyone you’ve ‘met’ only via a social networking site.

 

The key to making all this work, however, is that teachers and schools have to be open-minded and prepared to embrace new ways of working.


Many, of course, are doing so with enthusiasm, ===> but some are still locked in dinosaur mode. <===
