About A Parent’s Guide to Social Media from Ireland’s Classic Hits Radio
Ireland’s Classic Hits Radio has prepared a 26-week series, as part of the Coimisuin Na Mean’s Sound and Vision programmeit’s entitled ”A Parent’s Guide to Social Media”. We’ve creating a comprehensive guide for parents and guardians of the positives and negatives of social media, and aim to give them a better understanding of how the different platforms work and what to watch out for when your children are online. We start with some basic tips, what are the main platforms, how suitable are they for different age groups, what are signs that we should be watching for and are there any simple things that we can do to make our home internet environment safer? We take a look at some of the common scams and threats, from romance scams to the dangers of online grooming and also risks from activity like ”money mules” which can see teens dragged into criminal activity. We also focus an episode on each of the main platforms, we’ll also be speaking to Influencers and organisations that offer advice and support. Each episode will be broadcast on air, and then made available as a podcast.
Part 2 of 3 - Webwise Youth Panel Discussion Special Episode
Last year, Ireland's Classic Hits Radio's Eoin Glackin worked with Trina Mara producing "A Parent's Guide to Social Media."
Over 26 weeks they spoke to a range of experts from different fields about all things online safety, tech and social media, with the aim of informing us all about the pitfalls of cyberspace for our youngsters, but also the positives as well, so we're all as informed as we can be.
Now, the annual Safer Internet Day has come around again and Eoin thought it was a great time to revisit the series. This time, he wanted to speak with young people themselves about the issues that affect them when it comes to the online world.
Eoin has now produced three special episodes of the Parent's Guide to Social Media series.
He speaks with members of the Webwise Youth Advisory Panel, who are all in secondary school themselves, and gets some really interesting insights and advice from the perspective of young people.
The voices of youngsters are too often forgotten from the discussion when it comes to online safety and social media, and the conversations Eoin had with the youth panel are really valuable for anyone with an interest or concerns in this area.
