Dear Parents, teachers and students,

I am sending out an appeal to you. Please if you have any queries about making the internet a more secure and safe place to be, can you post them to me on this blog as comments. More and more of us are enjoying the benefits of using the internet and are participating in online social networking like Bebo and Facebook . Mobile phones allow our kids to keep in touch through texting in a cheap, easy and fun way. The downside to these developments are the increase in bullying, Cyberbullying is now a real threat. I hope in answering any questions you may have on this topic to help young people to use the Internet more safely.

Of course dont forget to keep all the other questions coming in as well, these may include your queries about college fees, Higher Education grants, questions about subject choices after Junior Cert, in fact anything at all that relates to the future and wellbeing of your little darling sons and daughters. I will endeavour to answer any questions and provide advice and further information where I can. In the meanwhile I will be posting some information about Cyberbullying for you to read and reflect on. Remember this motto THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK

Thanks a mill,
Ms Kenny

  3. Bridget,
    A fab blog- full of really useful information. Just one question from someone who knows very little about this area. If a student has blocked someone from their msn how can they safeguard themselves from that person butting in through someone else's conversation. It's a problem we've encountered in school. let's know if you have any ideas.
