I’ve written a few posts recently on cyber safety or its inverse cyber bullying after some workshops I’ve run with students from Years 3-6. In the workshops I ask students do they use social networking sites and 65% of students indicated yes in a hands up survey.
At that point I didn’t ask students if their parent/s knew about their activity on the web or how they got around the 13 year old age declaration which is on most social networking sites e.g. Face book or My Space.
This clip supports the view of the increase in social networking, not only the young the research says but those over 50, particularly women.
