October 24, 2001 (Ottawa) - Canadian children and youth are putting themselves at risk as they explore the Internet with little or no supervision, according to research findings released today by the Media Awareness Network (MNet). The findings focus on areas of risk such as children and youth exploring private and adult-only chat rooms, meeting Internet acquaintances in person, being exposed to sexually explicit and hateful material and sharing personal information.
One of the reasons why teens turn to shortcuts, such as judging a claim based on the reliability or apparent authenticity of the person making it, or turning to peers and influencers over trusted expert sources, is that they simply encounter too much information to deal with. To overcome this, we need to learn information sorting: how to quickly tell whether or not a source is even worth our attention before considering it.
This outcome chart contains media-related learning outcomes from the Ontario Grade 5 Health and Physical Education 1-8 curriculum with links to supporting resources on the MediaSmarts site.
Outcome:
Investigate the importance of personal safety to health and well-being.
Indicators:
(a) Identify potential risks to personal health and security as a result of overreliance on personal devices (e.g., hearing loss due to overuse of audio devices, injury to self and others due to distracted driving).
Do young people care about privacy? Participants in MediaSmarts’ 2012 focus groups told us that they valued their privacy highly, despite being enthusiastic participants in platforms and activities that adults see as being about nothing but sharing and broadcasting. Looking at the findings from our Young Canadians in a Wired World survey of more than five thousand students from every province and territory in Canada, we can begin to understand that contradiction: young people may not care that much about what we think of as privacy, but they care very much about control – control over who can see what they post, over who can track them digitally and, most especially, over how other people see them.
Though we sometimes talk about the online world as being “virtual reality,” the things we do there can have real consequences. When we're using the same screen to talk to our friends that we use to kill aliens or when we can't see the people we're hurting, robbing or copying from, it's easy to forget that what we do online matters. This section looks at some of the reasons why youth might behave differently online than they do offline and strategies for getting them to see the online world through an ethical lens.
