"Twenty years from now you will be disappointed by the things you didn't do than the things you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." (Mark Twain)

Cybersafety In Early Childhood Education (Article related to ICT and Education)

Young children often do not understand the social and technical complexity of the internet, so, educating them about cybersafety is seemed complicated. They are lack in the critical thinking skills which needed to judge material, and so accept all materials at face value.

Guidance on the responsible use of cybertechnologies is important in cybersafety education. They may not realize that some of their actions have the potential to harm others. The consequences of interactions in the virtual world are not the same as the consequences of face-to-face interactions. For example, a child who can see that teasing others while playing will hurt feeling may not link the same hurt feeling to online teasing.

As a conclusion, it is now the role of teachers and parents to actively participate when children are using the ICT technologies. Even though ICT has proven to be valuable learning tool for children, there are risks and dangers inherent in its use.

  3. i think, the kids' best online protection is parents. by talking to them about potential online dangers and monitoring their computer use, they'll help children surf the internet safely.

  5. Saya bersetuju dengan pendangan faizah,ibubapa merupakan individu terdekat yang boleh mengawal penggunaan (internet) dikalanagan kanak2.Namun kerjasama semua pihak perlu bagi mengatasi masalah tersebut diperingkat awal sebelum ianya menjadi lebih kritikal.
