Cyber-bullying is a crime of the 21st Century and in the cyber world there is no such thing as control of information, especially after its release.
Parents/adults need education to prevent crimes against youth. When teens know more than guardians about computers, smart devices, and social media, problems begin. With the Toronto Police Services IMPROVE program, we can help.
Our free interactive classroom sessions, three in total, utilising student, police, and expert instructors offer 50 participants per class with 1/1 instruction. Located in an air-conditioned adult learning centre participants will learn:
(1) Setting up/using their devices-phones/tablets/laptop
(2) Understanding filters/settings/security
(3) How to use social media platforms-Facebook /twitter/Skype/etc
Participants will be required to attend sessions with their own Wi-Fi-ready devices (phones/tablet/laptop) as they learn, what their kids already know, but were afraid to ask.
