Dialogue – Pau Fabà Ubach

Two teachers of the Clot school, Brent and Samantha, are discussing how the new subject of “Use of Tech” should be.

Sam: I think something we cannot miss to teach in this course is the way students handle their privacy in the web.

Brent: Yes, I agree with you, but I believe that it is more important for them to know how to treat others in social media. People is often so disrespectful, and it is said that cyberbullying happens more commonly than physical bullying.

Sam: Of course, that is an important aspect to consider. However, at the end there will always be rude people in the internet. Studies have shown that people feel safer behind the screens, so they can insult or be ruder. In fact, that is a misconception because people and whatever they say are more exposed because everything stays registered.

Brent: Ok, now I understand what you are telling me. Actually, we could unite our thoughts in order to teach the students that they should be polite and respectful on the internet, not only because these are the values that our school fosters, but also because every word they write is exposed for anyone to see and could be used against them if needed.

Sam: Yes, that is what I was trying to say! Hahaha… Now that we have set the basis of the subject, why don’t we go for a coffee and continue debating?

Brent: Perfect, I’m so hungry by the way. I think I will have lunch as well. Let’s go!
