Using Digital Devices Safely

I've just been having a fascinating discussion on our bus ride home from camp with some parents and students about the risks of students using digital devices. The reality is that the digital world that our students live in is undoubtedly quite alien to many parents and potentially a very dangerous place for young people, regardless of the opportunities that they afford them in tiheir learning.

So how do we ensure that their digital world is the safest it can be? At school we have a filtering service (cyberoam) which all students on our wireless must pass through before accessing the web. I'm a similar way, routers at home can precey students from accessing websites which might compromise student safety.  iPhones etc allow parents to set safety features which limit what students can do without permission.  

What are your tips and tricks as a parent for ensuring your child uses their digital devices in a responsible way and is as safe as you can make them?  Let's share our ideas/questions/concerns as comments below.
