Commission senior education trainer Greg Gebhart, who spoke about the role of the commission, the emergence of new forms of cyberbullying and shared insights into the online platforms commonly accessed by children.<\/p>\n<p>He encouraged attendees to be aware and build an understanding of the online spaces their children inhabit, speak regularly with their children about their experiences online and listen with an open mind to their children\u2019s concerns about those spaces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t need to be a technology expert, you just need to have conversations with your children,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also explained that while ready to investigate and act on instances of online harm, the commission itself relies on the community to report those occurrences.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Rowland said one of the best things about having an online regulator in e-safety was the wealth of age-appropriate resources that have been made available to children, adults and families seeking to learn more about navigating online spaces safely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re onto our second generation now of digital natives and being a mum myself with two young daughters,
