On the Road again… Day One
I’ve hit the road again today, spent all afternoon travelling from Hastings to Tauranga. I forget how beautiful NZ is and its not until you spend sometime on the road and actually look around as you go that you fully appreciate the scenery.
But that is not why I’m posting today. It is the middle of the school holidays and I have Breathe Technology Staff meeting in the morning. I’ve spent a lovely evening with my boss, her partner a colleague of mine and the Easiteach trainer. More of that tomorrow I guess. Sometimes it is really difficult to get out the conversation about Education but we did hit upon the topic of internet dating.
From what we talked about it seems to be;
a) a) a lot more common now and
b) b) a lot safer.
I was wondering if that were true or not or whether it is just our perception of it? If anyone has facts and figures on such things please comment.
My other question was surrounding cyber safety and the ‘internet dating’ thing. I fear that the Internet-dating will be the sex-ed of the cyber safety education programme. I remember the thoughts of:
‘Let’s not talk about sex in the classroom.’
‘If we start talking about it, more students will experiment with it and we’ll have a bigger social problem than we already have’
So my question being where in the ‘cyber-safety curriculum’ does internet dating appear?
