Today is Safer Internet Day!
Here in St Peter’s, we’re very conscious of Internet Safety. While it’s important to have general rules to prevent cyberbullying and to protect ourselves online, it’s even more important to develop skills and attitudes to help us to respond to any situation.
On the blog, we’ve covered Internet Safety for ‘Wednesday for Parents’ twice. This is an idea of what we recommend! This post was the first ‘Wednesday for Parents’ of 2014 and suggested Digital Resolutions to improve Internet Safety for families.
Today, to mark Safer Internet Day, some of the younger classes watched videos to teach us about Internet Safety. Older classes watched the coverage of Safer Internet Day on news2day here.
6th Class also explored Webwise, particularly these lessons from the ‘My Selfie’ resources to help us learn about internet safety.
We tweeted out tips for Safer Internet Day!
We are looking at the brilliant MySelfie videos from @Webwise_Ireland. Sharing photos online had consequences for all. #SID2016

RESPECT. Consequences. Actions. Intimidation. Isolation. All words we have explored in relation to cyber bullying today. #6thClass #SID2016

Remember – the Internet is NOT at fault. Bad behaviour is the root of the problem. OWN your behaviour online. #SID2016
