Keeping Kids CyberSafe

Early childhood services are making greater use ICT technology in their teaching and learning than ever before. Children are skyping, blogging and googling like never before. ICT provides wonderful opportunities but also contains some risks.

FitzBeck produced CyberCitizens and CyberSafe, a 20 min DVD to guide ECE services, parents and communities about cybersafety measures. It features the insights of educators and representatives from NetSafe, Hector’s World, the NZ Police, the Department of Internal Affairs and Decipher Ltd.

A feature of this project was the collaborative model used to produce the DVD which enabled many people and organisations to have input during its scripting and development.

Client feedback: “Thank you for the continued effort that your team has put into this project. We appreciated the rapport you developed with the ECE staff and children … and your ability to meet the tight timeframes.”
