Project Rockit: Creating Positive Online Experiences
Recently we had Project Rockit come out to deliver student workshops and a virtual parent event. The workshops are designed to help young people have positive online experiences. Some of the top tips provided to parents and carers are as follows:
- Grow your understanding of your child's digital lives ahead of any trouble
- Protect accounts and content by consciously choosing privacy settings and checking what others can see (e.g. Instagram profile, Nap Map, etc)
- Agree on healthy limits and expectations before setting up new devices and accounts
- Promote pro-social behaviours like having difficult conversations offline
- Engage positive peer support, like using the DM (direct message) feature to reach out to someone who has been affected by online bullying
