The increasing electronic communication between school and home provides an opportunity for schools to work in partnership with parents and caregivers  to promote cybersafety

The Interactive Games & Entertainment Association (iGEA) has created a series of ‘How to set-up Parental Controls’ videos to help parents manage healthy video gaming habits for their children.

The videos, hosted by iGEA ambassador and sports presenter Stephanie Brantz and Auckland journalist Kate Palmer provide step-by-step instructions to show parents how to activate parental control features on popular gaming consoles, including the Sony Playstation, Microsoft XBOX, Nintendo Wii and a PC. The Videos are hosted on the  iGEA’s YouTube channel

IGEA is an industry association representing Australian and New Zealand companies in the computer and video game industry.

Schools could provide this helpful information to parents through the school newsletter or a school website link.
