Hi
My name is Joe, I used to be a grumpy technophobe who viewed bloggers as geeks with no friends sat in their bedrooms playing on their computers. How things change! I'm a computer convert, a budding blogger and a networking newbie.
In my first ever blog I intend to highlight the issues of E-Safety. I am sure that all of you have had it drummed into you time and time again the importance of being cyber-savvy. Well tough luck because here we go again
Only fools breaks the E-Safety rules:
Teenagers, I am well aware that you think you know
everything about everything. Well i am a London Cabbie, so i really do know everything about everything so sit down, shut up and listen. The world is not full of perverts and peadophiles, however the world does contain a few. These people, no matter how few, are out there and they are looking for you. Don't make it easy for them. Be vigilant, be pro-active, be cyber-savvy. Here are a few simple rules on how to stay safe when using modern technology..
Use a nickname: Do not divulge your true identity to online strangers
Save a copy of online chat: This can help if problems arise
Take care on who to trust: Some people online may not be who they say they are
When teaching E-safety to children in EYFS and Key Stage 1, I would take a more serious approach. Parents need to be aware that access to the internet is a routine part of a child's day and that there are many positives to the online world. However, just as in the outside world, the online world has websites that provide access that is suitable for adults only.

I feel that the way you have tackled this blog is very interesting and the tone is conversational which means that the topic is being highlighted in a way that people won't get bored and so that they will want to engage.
