Greetings to all of you from the
Information and Communications Technology Department of West View Primary
School.
We hope to bring you news about
Cyberwellness through this blog and empower you with the knowledge and skills
so that you can work together with us to help our children in this
fast-changing technologically advanced society. The first post serves as a
reminder for all of us how important it is to have the right knowledge so that
we can help our children better.
Reviews have shown that many parents
are not keen to attend Cyberwellness talks. This is also the case when we hold
Cyberwellness talks for parents in West View Primary. With the increase use of
technology everywhere, there is a need to inculcate the right values in our
children when they use the internet.
Mr Edmund Tay, a
youth pastor and parent blogger who sits on the Media Literacy Council said
this, "Parents need to pay equal attention to their children's academic
progress and social well-being, and that includes knowledge in Cyberwellness.".
We may think there is
nothing to be concerned about when our children are using the internet but let’s
not forget the idiom, “still water runs deep”, and let’s not forget to guide
our children and help them to become responsible users of the internet. In the
next few weeks, we hope to share with you some tips on how you can help your
child become one.
