A few weeks ago NetSafe attended CORE Education’s annual conference for educators, Ulearn 09, held down in Christchurch.

Our approach this year was a little bit different – we actively sought out people already exploring the boundaries of cybersafety in schools and listened to how they are working to create New Zealand’s digital citizens of the future.

As well as creating a dedicated social networking site to recruit a new online panel of expert advisers, we also put together a poll and asked people ‘What are the 3 most important characteristics of a Digital Citizen?‘

The results of the poll are displayed below. For our thoughts on the event and related topics such as filtering in schools, check out these posts on the main NetSafe blog and our onsite reporting on the Learn:Guide:Protect site.

For those people who’ve never attended Ulearn, sit back and enjoy a 3 and a half minute video guide to the event, hosted by NetSafe’s own camera friendly talent, Martin Cocker:
