What is grooming?

Grooming is a word used to describe how people who want to sexually harm children and young people get close to them, and often their families, and gain their trust. 

Online grooming may occur by people forming relationships with children and pretending to be their friend. 

It is easy for ‘groomers’ to find child victims online. They generally use chatrooms which are focussed around young people’s interests. They often pretend to be younger and may even change their gender. Many give a false physical description of themselves which may bear no resemblance to their real appearance – some send pictures of other people, pretending that it is them.

One of my students asked me about how to protect your own pictures

Consejos para proteger tus fotografías

Una vez que compartes una fotografía en Internet, es casi imposible evitar que sea utilizada sin tu consentimiento. Si le es imposible a una productora de Hollywood evitar que una película se pueda descargar gratis por Internet, imagínate lo difícil que será para ti evitar que alguien use tus fotos sin permiso.

Lo que si puedes hacer y no te requerirá de mucho esfuerzo es poner ciertas trabas para, a que la persona que quiera utilizar tus fotos sin tu permiso, le resulte un poco más difícil hacerlo.

1. Regístralas: Si bien todo este tipo de trámites pueden parecerte algo engorrosos, puedes realizarlos sin moverte de tu ordenador y de manera gratuita. Puedes registrar tus fotografías mediante el servicio “Safe Creative” (gratuito) o bien puedes firmar digitalmente tus fotografías. Con solo realizar una búsqueda encontraras empresas que se encargan de firmar digitalmente documentos, fotografías, etc.
2. Utilizar sitios de confianza: comparte tus fotografías en sitios que te permitan configurar el nivel seguridad de las licencias, los permisos para descargarlas, restricción de tamaños, etc. Cuantos mayores controles puedas configurar mayor control tendrás sobre tus fotografías. En el Blog del Fotógrafo recomendamos Flickr.
3. Firma clara y legible: utiliza tu nombre como marca personal de modo que cualquiera que vea una firma tuya, sabrá claramente quien fue el autor de la fotografía. Debe ser clara, legible y sencilla de modo de no crear confusiones acerca de quien fue su autor. También puedes incluir un correo de contacto junto con tu firma para que puedan solicitar tu permiso.

Technology and society

Hello!

The last Friday we were still working on technology and society. In the previous class, the students wrote their opinions about how technology has changed society through a collaborative tool called padlet. The week before we also played Kahoot to find out how we use technology in our daily lives.

We kept talking about the aspects that technology has changed our society and how it changed it. Finally the students learnt how to make a word cloud and they made their first one with the website Tagul.

In the next class they will upload their word cloud about technology and society to their blogs. Some of them already tried it but they didn't know how to do it. This is because some tools of Blogger don't work properly on the Ipad, For that reason we are going to work with the app BlogPad Pro.

Moreover we are going to start working on copyright since one of the students copied and pasted on the Padlet task, so I'll use this situation to talk about the importance of copyright.

How technology has changed our society?

We are going to start the class with a kahoot about the use of technology.
