Summary of family training on video games and Identity Theft

 VIDEO GAMES AND IDENTITY THEFT

SUMMARY OF THE SESSION AND VIDEO

Today we had the second session of the family trainings in our Erasmus KA229 "Cybersecurity Schools".

The session was about video games and identity theft. Below is a summary of the topics we discussed and below is the video to the recording in case you want to watch it.

* The numbers of techno-addictions are rising in recent years. More and more children are impersonating their parents for online shopping, gaming and gambling.

* Impersonation is a crime of which children are unaware.

* Parents need to supervise their children's online activity.

* The importance of building trust between children and their parents.

* The social networks most used by children are: Tik Tok, Instagram and Facebook.

* The social networks where most cases of identity theft occur are Instagram and Tik Tok.

* Importance of knowing parental control applications. Some recommendations are Qustodio or Family link.

* It is recommended to use Tik Tok from the age of 13; Instagram from the age of 16.

* In the event of identity theft, we should first report it to the service provider; if it is not resolved, to the authorities.

* Families should reflect on the frequent exposure of photos of our children on social networks.

* There is a form of gaming called Pay to win. Paying players get a clear advantage over the rest.

* Inductive discipline consists of a set of rules and consequences agreed between the family and the child. The aim is to make the child responsible for his or her behaviour without arguments.

First class of cyber students told by Alicia and Elena

Este año, ha sido diferente a los demás, no podemos viajar, abrazarnos, hacer lo de los guías... Por la COVID-19.

Pero, conseguimos que los Cibermentores pudieran seguir trabajando, y el miércoles 11 hemos tenido la primera clase. Vamos a tener cada clase cada 15 días, miércoles sí, miércoles no.

Nos han explicado que, además de los viajes y todo eso, hay mucho más que podemos hacer; por ejemplo, estudiar qué es el ciberbullying, la suplantación de identidad... Y muchas cosas más que no sabemos y vamos a aprender. 

Este año somos tres sextos, 6ºA, 6ºB y 6ºC. En total somos 15 personas en el grupo de Cibermentores y vamos a aprender mucho para luego explicarlo en español y en inglés. Queremos que los niños más pequeños o más mayores que nosotros lo puedan entender. Ellos verán todo lo que hemos estado preparando en este año.

También vamos a tener una sesión de formación con la Asociación AFAVAL y nos va a explicar algunas cosas qué va a haber en el proyecto de los Cibermentores como son las Tecno-adicciones.

Eva y Juan Antonio son los que van a estar con nosotros haciendo este gran proyecto. Gracias por dejarnos participar y que podamos hacer todo esto de forma segura.

They have explained to us that we will study what is cyberbullying, identity theft, privacy in the Internet...
