With the education sector continuing to rely on a blended teaching and learning model due to the global pandemic, online safety is more important than ever before. We’re excited to share our recent article published in The Head Teacher discussing just that!
In an article titled, ‘Online safety is paramount,’ our CEO, Al Kingsley, highlights the importance of keeping pupils safe online by educating and promoting positive digital citizenship skills. It also focuses on the value of teaching these skills to pupils at a young age, as well as the roles that teachers, schools, parents and peers play in encouraging positive behaviour online.
Here are some great resources for teachers and parents that the article mentions:
- ChildNet – Online safety resources and toolkits for parents/carers and teachers.
- Common sense education – Example digital citizenship lesson plans for Years 1-6
