Open Badges Community Call, March 4, 2015

Audio: http://bit.ly/CC15_March4_audio

Agenda: http://bit.ly/CC15_March4

This week we were joined by Matt Rogers from Digital Me, who shared some of the recent work they've been doing in the UK, including professional development badges for computing curricula in partnership with NAACE (National Association of Advisors for Computers in Education). 

Safe-Bots for Internet Safety

Digital Me and telecommunications company O2 recently led a campaign around Safer Internet Day on February 10th, encouraging youth to take leadership within their families and communities. Youth participants made Safe-Bots displaying e-safety messages at 87 core locations around the UK, including O2 stores. The SID activities were mapped at safebot.co.uk to educate youth about geolocation data and tracking.

Participants earned badges for a range of activities using the Makewaves platform; those younger than 13 could create a 'family backpack' using parents' emails, and convert them to open badges once they reach 13 and send them to a Mozilla Backpack.

Lucy Neale from Digital Me added that the Internet safety badges "are also designed as a way to engage parents with e-safety as this is something schools and corporates like O2 are struggling with." E-safety is still seen as a taboo subject for many parents, who perhaps lack an understanding of the issues or feel it is irrelevant. "This project is designed to test whether the badges and digital making activities can offer a non-threatening opportunity for parents to engage with the topic, led by their children, in neutral spaces, including at home and in O2 shops and other public spaces."

Safer Internet Day aims to promote responsible behavior online

If your child is awake, chances are they’re probably online. According to statistics from the Kaiser Family Foundation, children ages 8 to 18 spend more than 7.5 hours a day using a smartphone, computer, television or other electronic device.

Feb. 10 is Safer Internet Day, a day organized to promote safer and more responsible use of online technology and mobile phones, especially among young people across the world. In recognition of the event, AT&T has compiled a list of tips and tools to help parents ensure their children use online technology and mobile phones safely and responsibly.

• Take advantage of parental controls. Ask your wireless and Internet service providers about parental controls available to you. For example, AT&T Smart Limits for wireless allows parents to block unwanted calls and data use; set text and purchase limits; limit phone use during certain times of day; check on daily phone activity; and get customized alerts and weekly reports. Parental controls for Internet service include the ability to block access to specific services, view your child’s activities online, and receive tamper controls alerts.

• Be aware of what your kids are doing online. Talk with your kids about cyberbullying and other online issues regularly.

o Know the sites your kids visit and their online activities. Ask where they’re going, what they’re doing and who they’re doing it with.

o Tell your kids that as a responsible parent, you may review their online communications if you think there is a reason for concern.

o Ask for their passwords, but tell them you’ll only use them in case of emergency.

o Ask to “friend” or “follow” your kids on social media sites or ask another trusted adult to do so.

o Encourage your kids to tell you immediately if they, or someone they know, is being cyberbullied. Let them know you will not take away their device if they confide in you about a problem.

• Establish rules about appropriate use of computers, cell phones and other technology.

o Be clear about what sites they can visit and what they are permitted to do when they’re online. Show them how to be safe online.

o Help them be smart about what they post or say. Tell them not to share anything that could hurt or embarrass themselves or others.

o Encourage kids to think about who they want to see the information and pictures they post online. Think about how people who aren’t friends could use the information.

o Remind them to keep their passwords safe and not to share them with friends because sharing that information could compromise their control over their online identities and activities.

• Check privacy settings on social media. Make sure you set the privacy settings on whatever social media your child uses but emphasize that there is no privacy. The more private, the less likely inappropriate material will be received by your child, or sent to their circle of acquaintances. Make sure your child understands that everything sent over the Internet or a cellphone is public and can be shared with the entire world, so it is important that they use good judgment.
