Di's+Showcase

= Di's Showcase  = = Oh the places you'll go: finding your way in cyberspace  = This unit will explore how young people today are using web technologies to communicate and socialise in cyberspace. As they communicate and explore the possibilities of new technologies definitions of friendship, privacy, and behavioral norms are being redefined. For many young people this re-definition is taking place outside the values frameworks that shape their real life social interactions. In this unit students will investigate the advantages and disadvantages of this emerging online environment, explore the differences between this and face to face interactions and suggest strategies that encourage responsible social interactions. How am I responsible? Why are parents and teachers concerned about online social interaction? How can we act responsibly/ethically in cyberspace? How are online and F2F communications linked? Why is online social interaction important for young people? What do parents know about online interactions? What online behaviours can be considered irresponsible? What is cyberbullying? What can you do about cyberbullying What factors influence online behaviour? How do the concerns of parents and the concerns of young people differ? What are the possible consequences of irresponsible behaviour online?
