I think sometimes that when I teach online learners, they are already online, so we can skip the web tutorial. But it seems that many students today are having elearning thrust upon them an e resources used quickly without a pause for safe practices. Never was this more obvious to me than at a recent inservice.
A police officer did the following demo. He asked those at hand to name 3 schools.
He then announced that he was going to pose as an internet predator and would have enough information to take 3 children from those schools before the next speaker was done. The next speaker was only introducing the schedule and was done is 5 minutes. At that point the officer stood up and read the names of 3 children and then told us exactly where they would be at 3:15, 4:00 and 4:45 respectively and then held up their pictures.
In 5 minutes...
so that said what can we do to encourage safe usage?
One suggestion my e friends is to have students go through the following e safety tutorial (slightly dated, but good)

also the following videos are funny enough to keep kids engaged.
