General considerations

- One should avoid the term virtual since it deludes into thinking that things are not real. Electronic or online should be preferred

Discussed on Thursday 16th skype meeting

[16/06/2011 11:04:49] Antje Moebus : Internet use of minors - Risks and opportunities - Recommendations for peadagogues, educators and parents

4.1 Understand the impact of communication with minors about safety in IT world 4.2 Be able to develop policies and applicate methods for minor´s use of the computer and the internet ( depending on age and on the responsibility for the minor ( school, public institution, family) 4.3 Understand the purpose of monitoring, filtering and controlling tools for safer internet use of minors 4.4 Understanding advantages and limitations with protection software

[16/06/2011 10:53:12] Algis M.: how computer user could switch on/off integrated protection? it is administrator's job teachers are not pc administrators, teacher must know the fact but not technics

[16/06/2011 11:17:59] Algis M.: 4.3. Be aware of different ways to control usage of social networking and other web sites. "block" -> "control"

[16/06/2011 11:28:52] Algis M.: In my oppinion, it is not necessary to make Chapter 5 such particular. Every knowledge in details could be put in Syllabus Guide that have to be prepared later. It is no need to include everything in the Syllabus, - it’s enough topics be more common or connected together.
