Think Before You Click:The rise of Bebo, Facebook and other social networking sites has made online privacy a major concern for parents and teachers alike.
Developed by the Irish Council for Civil Liberties and the National Centre for Technology in Education, Think Before You Click is a new teaching resource for the Junior Certificate civic, social and political education curriculum, empowering students to be effective, safe and autonomous users of the internet and other new media. It’s currently being rolled out to second-level schools nationwide. Although intended for inclusion in the junior cycle, savvy transition year teachers may find this resource of use for the current group of fourth-years.
