Safer Internet Day
Safer Internet Day
Last Tuesday was the launch of Safer Internet Day. We believe that every day or any day is a good one to promote Internet Safety!
This year the message was play it safe and fair online. CHPS joined ‘the global initiative that brings families, schools, organisations and governments from 170 countries together to raise awareness about online safety.’
As a normal part of the beginning of the school year, Grades 3 – 6 have viewed, read through and signed a class copy of our school’s Digital Technology Agreement. Some grades participated in Virtual-classroom Webinars for Years 4 - 6 where they learnt about:
- identifying what is important when creating and sharing content
- understanding the impact that posts and comments can have on themselves and others
- developing help-seeking and reporting strategies.
They may have also watched the following video: esafety asked 3 Top Australian Athletes how they play it safe online.
You may like to watch the video above with your Middle to Upper Primary Students at home or enjoy this lovely Picture Book with younger years students:
Picture-book-and-song/swoosh-glide-and-rule-number-5 with options to read the story, listen to and watch the story being read, (including with Auslan), listen to Soundscape and song.
