“Talking Digital”
Workshop Descriptions:
Title: The LIKE and SELFIES Generation – It’s Complicated
Description:
In 2013 ‘Selfie’ was the word
of the year. The self portrait of the digital age! This workshop will focus on
the impact of ‘sefies’ and ‘likes’ on self esteem, body image and the
re-defining of beauty based on the autobiographical information that people
share publicly about themselves and their friends.
What you’ll learn
The impact of ‘selfies’ and ‘likes’ on well being, friendships and
privacy
The influence of celebrity and a highly sexualised culture on personal
choices
The possible
side effects of an emphasis on appearance on social acceptance
How advertisers
and marketers monetize ‘likes’
Audience:
Parents,
Educators, Community members
While
this presentation can be delivered as a lecture it is highly recommended that
parents can interact with each other at tables.
Title: Digital Parenting-A Common Sense Approach
Description: This presentation is
in response to current research, which underlines the importance of parents
continuing to have open and ongoing conversations with young people
about their online activities that reiterate their family’s values. But to
do this, parents need to have tools and the knowledge and understanding of the
issues that their children face online and when they use digital devices for
entertainment, socialising and learning.
What you’ll learn
What does the research tell us about the
use of technology by children and young people.
The impact of technology use on health
& well-being, relationships and reputations.
Ongoing resources and advice to support
parents
Topics covered will be:
Identity
& Self Image
Relationships
& Communication
Privacy
& Security
Addiction
Online
Risks
Digital
Dramas
Managing
the Media Diet
Audience: Parents, Educators,
Community members
Title: Online
and Off-Limits. Helping Teens Manage
Their Privacy, Relationships & Reputations
Description:
This presentation or workshop
focuses on the current landscape, research and behaviours of young people in
digital environments which impact on their privacy, reputation management and
relationships.
What privacy is
and why it matters
How to manage
incidents when privacy has been breached
The legal and
non legal consequences of sharing sexualised images, texts and videos [sexting]
Title: Too Much Too Soon
The Impression That You
Get is a fifteen-minute film that explores the influence of easily accessible
pornography and sexualised content on young people growing up today.
This resource analyses the
use of and effects of pornography by young people through their eyes and
supports honest and supportive discussion about it.
Whether pornography is
accessed online, or via other forms of mainstream media, never before have
children and young people been more exposed to material that research tells us
can be damaging to the understandings and expectations young people have of
themselves and others within intimate relationships.
To make the most of the
Internet, we need to teach skills in media literacy, produce and deliver
youth-focused materials on sex and relationships, and adopt regulatory
strategies to minimise the harms associated with young people’s exposure to
sexually explicit content. (Flood, 2009b)
Exposure to pornography is
routine among children and young people, with a range of notable and often troubling
effects. Particularly among younger children, exposure to pornography may be
disturbing or upsetting. Exposure to pornography helps to sustain young
people’s adherence to sexist and unhealthy notions of sex and relationships.
And, especially among boys
and young men who are frequent consumers of pornography, including of more
violent materials, consumption intensifies attitudes supportive of sexual
coercion and increases their likelihood of perpetrating assault. While children
and young people are sexual beings and deserve age-appropriate materials on sex
and sexuality, pornography is a poor, and indeed dangerous, sex educator.
Questions to think about and discuss with
family, friends and colleagues before the forum.
Do you
think that young people are turning to the Internet for information about sex
because of the reasons given above (easy access, anonymity, etc.) or just
because their first instinct is to go to the Internet when they need answers?
Why do you think so?
What are
some of the strengths and weaknesses of online sex education? How might some of
those weaknesses be improved?
Do you
believe that young people's sexual behaviour is influenced by the media they
consume (TV, movies, music, etc.)? If so, what (if anything) do you think should
be done about it?
Do you
think that we still need sex education in school? Why or why not?
Copy of Parent Survey Letter
Dear Parents,
On November 10 Robyn Treyvaud, the
founder of Cybersafekids and an educator with extensive experience working with
school communities in the area of digital resilience & citizenship and
responsible and respectful online behaviour will be visiting ISHCMC for the
week.
To capture a ‘snapshot’ of what
interests you and what you are finding challenging about digital parenting
would you please complete a short survey which can be found here:
It would be great if as many of you
could complete this survey by Monday 3rd November because digital
safety is an issue that ISHCMC regards as important as we empower our students.
Robyn will share the results of the
survey during the parent forums.
Here is the link to
the survey:
Yours
sincerely,
Adrian
