• No surprise, then, that Facebook is no longer a place for uninhibited status updates about pub antics, but an obligatory communication tool that younger people maintain because everyone else does.

• All the fun stuff is happening elsewhere. On their mobiles.

Thoughts for grandparents, teachers & youth leaders

Joint Responsibility?

• We have no control over the discussions our children are having at school about technologies. We need our schools and educators to take a strong lead in telling children what is good practice and things to be aware of. As parents we don’t always know what they should be aware of. Technology is SO market driven that we can’t keep up.

• (Parent, 19 or over)

Peer Discussions…

• Even more important is a need to create an environment in which parents, teachers, and students (particularly in secondary schools and above) are open to discussing the issues. Students need encouragement to consider what it means to be a good digital citizen, by being accountable for their own actions and also aware and respectful of the feelings of others.
