Students from Grade 2 upwards have been receiving cycbersafety lessons during their ICLT lessons in the library. At school we use the material found on the Cyberquoll site(middle and upper) and Hectors World (lower). These are both great sites where safety hints are given through engaging games. Links to these sites can be found in USEFUL LINKS.
Topics have included safe use of emails, chatting to people online, what personal information not to include.
The Internet can provide great, safe sites where children can play games, research topics and chat to people their own age but as parents you need to know they are safe. Please ensure that you check the sites before you allow them on.
Over the next few weeks I will include some of the sites that we use at school, where children can have fun,learn (even if they don't realise it)and be safe.
