Hello bloggers, today I am going to review the video called ‘Game On’. Game on is a cyber-safety video resource to keep kids and teens aware of the many different types of cyber-problems, from cyber bulling to internet/computer addictions related to computers and laptops these days.
In this short 20-odd minute video, a bunch of teens come across many different cyber-safety problems. Dean and Joel are two gamers who are ‘addicted’ to a game called Star Warriors, a multiplayer online computer game. Joel and Dean would be addicted to the game for life without help from their parents. Bianca blames her friend, Claudia, that she posted a mean photo and captions without her permission, when, as it turns out, is someone else completely. Ryan is a dude who has found a website that sells the latest ringtones for free. He later finds out that his parents are paying $10 a week for the ringtones. Also, a kid named Olly posts pics of himself on an app that he later discovered is not good for keeping his personal information to himself.
I believe that this a very useful cyber-safety resource as…
- Videos are very interactive compared to poster, posts or documents.
- The video shows many different types of cyber-problems like cyber-bulling, addictions and too-good-to-be-true offers.
- Finally, the video shows real life situations and dilemmas that kids and teens watching can relate to.
However, I also believe that the video still has room for improvement, such as…
- Adding into more cyber related problems like scams or personal privacy
- The video needs more information on each topic.
So, if you are looking for a video with information on simple cyber safety, I recommend this video. I would rate this video 8/10.
