pandyj8 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hi,I'm currently studying GCSE ICT and one of our pieces of coursework involves designing and creating a game for children of ages 7-10 years that educates them on internet safety. Before designing my game, I am required to carry out research into what behaviour parents encourage children to adopt when they are using the internet (especially playing games),and what parent's general concerns are about their children and their safety online.It would be great if I could get feedback from a range of parents as this kind of research is held in high regard.However, I understand that responding to this may require too much thought and is not convenient, so if you are unable to give a more detailed opinion, I would ask you to simply answer the following question;Please rate these risks to a child's online safety in the order of your concern:1. The computer could become infected with a virus2. The child may become addicted to a game or other interaction and spend too much time online3. The child may become involved in inapropriate relations with a stranger or older personThankyou,Miranda Jarrett Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20522-quick-questionnaire-gcse-ict-student-needing-parents-views/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
minder Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Hi Miranda - I would say 2, 3, 1!Good luck with your game!

EDmummy Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I would say all three are equally important to me and my family. Whilst 2 and 3 have social implications for the individual child, 1 can have serious economic effects to the family at large.My children are taught;Do not give any personal details to anyone on the internet (eg., age, location etc)Do not download any files without consulting a parentDo not spend too much time onlineIn addition, I do drill my oldest child the old adage when discussing leaving comments on You Tube etc., If you can't say anything kind don't say anything at all.

EmilyE Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 2, 3, 1But basically they're too young to navigate much by themselves, (6 and 4) and I don't encourage them to. They have free rein on cbeebies, and that's about it.
