INTERNET SAFETY
|
As children turn to online methods of learning and communicating it’s more important than ever to ensure they’re safe online. On Safer Internet Day earlier this year, Barefoot Computing is launched 2 new and exciting resources that pupils can use from home. The first is an interactive learning game for pupils aged 8 - 11. In ‘The Phisherman’ pupils will explore an underwater world, learning how to protect themselves from online phishing and scams! The second resource is for pupils aged 4 – 7, giving them the opportunity to discuss how to stay safe online by playing ‘Cyber Snakes’ (a Barefoot take on the classic Snakes and Ladders) with their parents/carers. |

MS HICKEY'S GOLDEN RULES Can the information be used to contact me? i.e. telephone number, email address Can the information be used to find me? i.e. home address, school Can the information be used to steal from me? i.e. usernames, passwords If so, the children know they shouldn't be giving the information |
Can you correctly identify whether a piece of information can be used to contact, find or steal from you? Click the link provided to play my Personal Information sorting game, and see how well you can do? Note: Some information can go under more than one heading.
