Lecture

Jenny Wallin, school nurse, gave a very important and interesting lecture about abuse on Internet. Her advice was,

"do not feed the trolls" and be not a troll!

With that she meant, do not write bad things about other people,

do not click like button to harassments, do not feed the bullies.

She also talked about how too much use of computers affects our bodies.

The students are the golden generation. You make the choice who you want to be. It is your decision.

Results of the surveys

The student presented surveys about Internet usage that they had made at their schools. One interesting discussion were if the numbers were really true. The opinion from many groups were that the time young people use Internet were higher than their surveys showed.

Thursday - the final day

Discussions in the groups

After a long day´s work we gathered to
have a look at the videos and hear about the groups discussions. The groups thought that there were not so big differences between what programmes they use on the Internet. For example they use social media as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram. "We live in different countries with different languages but Internet is our united country where we use the same language and have one culture" was one of the answers.

The groups discussed if bullying is anything they talk about in their countries. Some of the countries
thought this is a current question that is discussed in school and media, while others thought you should talk more about this in society.

The students thought that information is important to increase security on the Internet. To talk about how to behave on the Internet and be more critical.

The movie clips
The jury had to think and discuss very hard after looking at the movie clips. It was really difficult to choose the best movie they thought. All movie clips were of good quality with actors, music, film technique and topics that forced the viewer to think.

While the jury was thinking and thinking...

the swedish class had arranged a quiz with questions all around the school. Here are the teachers from Estonia, Latvia and Finland, admiring one swedish guy.
