p2pnet view Mobiles:- Concerns centering on teenagers sexting messages, nude pix and videos are behind a Canadian Centre for Child Protection (CCCP) and Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA) project involving 100 Grade 7 classrooms.

Launched yesterday, textED.ca is an interactive website “designed to teach teens to be safe, responsible and respectful users of texting, say the two organisations.

Teens’ behavior “is less inhibited with the use of technology, so they tend to say and do things that they might not otherwise do in person,” according to the CCCP’s  Lianna McDonald.

“The textED.ca site has been created to help educate youth about how to use technology respectfully and safely, and to know what to do when someone crosses the line.”

“Teachers will use a series of safety lessons and the website to help guide their students through respectful conduct when texting, and to teach them life skills that will allow them to fully benefit from what is now a very public, technological world,” they say.
