The ‘Net effect’
How the Internet changes the equation...• Disinhibition: Lack of visual cues reduces empathy• Persistence & searchability: Net as permanent searchable
archive• Replicability: ability to copy and paste from anywhere, to
anywhere• Scalability: high potential visibility• Invisible audiences: you never know who’s watching• Blurring of public and private: boundaries not clear

• Greater cultural awareness through direct contact with peers in other countries.
• Sharing and comparing online safety resources
• Digital skills
• Discussion and debate on some key issues surrounding social media and the internet
For school staff…
• Direct contact with education professionals in another European country.
• An awareness of teaching and/or management approaches used in another country.
• Sharing and celebration of your own professional expertise and experience.
• Professional dialogue with like minded colleagues.
• Appropriate and alternative resources to develop digital literacy and safety skills.
• Opportunities to share existing good practice.
• This is a means of communication that is very familiar to most young people.
• They will engage and it will provide opportunities to discuss issues they are facing in other social spaces.
