The aim of the study was to learn about parents’ attitudes and behaviours towards cybersecurity related to posting images of their children online, known as sharenting. The study focused on the opinions, habits and awareness of parents living in Poland who have at least one child under the age of 18. The study was based on quantitative research conducted among Polish parents. A quantitative diagnostic survey method was used, employing a standardised questionnaire. The survey was made available online via Google Forms. A random sample was used to ensure the representativeness of the results. The starting point of the study is a synthetic description of attitudes towards sharenting and the role of the modern family, with particular emphasis on intimate relationships, in the context of the literature and available data. It is advisable to take action as part of social campaigns to raise public awareness of cyber security threats and the rights of children regarding the publication of their image.

Sharing of experience acquired by teaching has always belonged to common teachers’ activities. Formerly, teachers shared experience mainly by sitting in on colleagues’ classes and by sharing experience in professional journals. Thanks to the development of informational technologies in the 21st century, teachers now frequently use the Internet for sharing of experience. Yet there has not been any unified standard in Slovakia for indicating the quality of those published didactic materials.

The presence of technology in everyday life has also entered the field of education, including as a virtual environment. Metaverse is one of the technologies that can bring new learning and teaching processes. It is a virtual environment that allows multiple users to interact in a 3D space. This technology can bring new ways of learning and teaching, such as simulations, virtual visits to museums or historical sites, virtual exercises, and more. The use and development of applications for these technologies, as well as artificial intelligence, is the connection between ICT and educational techniques. The goal of this article is to define metaverse and describe the roles of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality. The use of artificial intelligence and applications in metaverse can also bring new opportunities for personalized learning that adapts to the needs and preferences of individual students. For example, based on the analysis of the data from previous interactions and results there can be created recommendations for students and their learning.
