How To Ensure Your Child's Online Safety in E-Learning

By Tabitha Makumi, Enabling Support Foundation Communications and PR

With schools closed and with a lot of time to play with, the most common thing most households are engaged in during the COVID 19 is gathering one’s gadget, locking themselves up, getting their favourite blankie and browsing away.

Reports of online bullying, spying software's are nothing new and should never be ignored. If anything, lack of education around online safety should be labelled as a pandemic of its own. If you’ve got a malicious software or suspect to have one, online predators and hackers could be lurking on your personal data, safety and well-being.

With free creative books which are readily available at Book Dash, Enabling Support Foundation would like to ensure kids in early child development are protected and their e-learning is safe.

For starters, get a credible antivirus to protect your data, information and your online safety and if for anything, your piece of mind. Most of the trusted antivirus programs will be a guide on what’s important.

· Report malicious data, inappropriate content and ads to Google and App Developers and always keep your apps up to date.

· Use your personal email to install apps. This ensures reporting of the mentioned is done by you and you are responsible for what you consume online.

· Check on the browser and app settings. For example, let’s assume you are using Mozilla, below are steps to ensure your online safety is in check

· On your Privacy and Security Tab, in detail there are ways to enhance your Browser Privacy and one way of ensuring that is possible is by enhancing tracking protection.

· You have an option of choosing a Standard Protection, Strict Protection and a Custom choice for you and your kids.

· The same technique for online safety applies to almost all commonly used Apps such as You Tube, Instagram, Face Book, Twitter etc. Under privacy, select the settings that work for your well-being, online privacy and mental health.

It is a long process as the child learns the names and sounds of the alphabet and combines them into words they can say. The child is “reading ready” or simply put, already able to read in Primary One (1) But even after with “reading readiness” courses, some children cannot read. About 20% suffer from a known brain abnormality that interferes with phonetic decoding.

This is equivalent to making the light brighter for the totally blind. With all the negatives ...
