Benefits of the internet • Educational games and programmes • Research information • The opportunity to communicate with people from all around the world • The opportunity to share resources and ideas with people that have the same interests • Shopping around the world without leaving your computer

6. Risks of using the internet • Paedophiles use the internet to meet young people • People lying to others online • Bullying using the internet (Cyberbulling) • Seeing inappropriate images and material • Viruses and pop ups

7. Mobile Technology Mobile Phones - Internet via mobile phone technology - Chat rooms and social networking sites wherever and whenever - Bluetooth technology to share music files and photos with friends - Ringtones can be downloaded from the internet straight to phones

8. Mobile Technology Wireless internet access - Internet access wherever there is a wireless signal - If security settings not set access is available to anyone in the vicinity - Broadband allows faster and cheaper internet access

9. But why is this a problem? • Simply this – what is put on line stays online, who you speak to electronically may not be whom you think it is. • Children do things, say things and share things electronically that they would never say or do or share face to face with a stranger. But in some cases the two are no different! • There are people out there who will use these forms of electronic communication to meet their own needs, and children will suffer because of this if we do not protect them.
