 Some risks in the Use of ICT and e-Networking

 e-Safety
How do we confront all of the concerns so as to
protect future generations?
e-safety takes care not only of internet
technologies but also of electronic
communications via mobile phones, games
consoles and wireless technology. It highlights
the need to educate childrenand young people
about benefits, risks and responsibilities of
using information technology.
 e-Safety
- A rule that is trying to be safe on the internet.
- Is the act of maximizing a user’s awareness of
personal safety and security risks t o privat e
information and property associated with using
internet, and the self-protection from computer crime.
 Here are some roles of e-safety
• e-safety helps safeguard children and young
people in the digital world.
• e-safety emphasizes learning to understand new
technologies in a positive way
• e-safety educates children about the risks as well
as the benefits so we can feel confident online
• e-safety supports young learners and adults to
develop safer online behaviors both in and out of
school
 Network Management
- Is the process of administering and
managing computer networks.

- It covers the procedures, methods, and

tools need to effectively operate,
administrate, and maintain networks.
includes safety in the use of network in
schools, password policy, personal mobile
phones and devices, and cameras.
 Safety in the Use of Network in Schools:
