Safer Internet Day celebrates the young people’s role in creating a safer internet, whether that is whilst gaming and creating content or interacting with friends and peers.

 

Safer Internet Day Learning

 

Our young people celebrated the day by participating in a whole range of different activities;

  • Private vs public - looking at the difference between a private account and a public account.
  • Gaming - learning that personal information shouldn’t be shared online.
  • Respectful gaming chat - In this activity, our young people looked at respectful things that we might say to someone online.
  • Story time - was an opportunity to explore some educational stories that help young people understand how to stay safe online. A story called ‘Digi duck’s big decision ‘ provided a great way to learn all about friendship and responsibility.
  • Making a banner - young people created a group banner to promote a safer internet!
