Safer Internet Day 9th February 2021
Safer Internet Day is a day when we celebrate all the great things about being online and remind ourselves how we can stay safe.
There are lots of different ways that you can use the internet. This is also called going online. They both mean the same thing. Here are some ways you can be online.
- playing on an iPad/tablet;
- using a computer or a laptop;
- watching a TV show or video on Netflix, Amazon prime, BBC iPlayer etc.;
- asking a smart speaker to do something (e.g. Alexa, Google Home);
- playing with other people in an online game;
- using a mobile phone to chat, video call, play a game, watch a video, or find something out, or
- using a smart watch to count how many steps you’ve done or something similar.
This year for Safer Internet Day we are looking at information online, and whether we can trust everything that we read or see on the internet. Although there is lots of great information online that is useful and trustworthy, it’s important to remember that there is also information online that is not true and may even be there to try and confuse us.
Look through the powerpoint and click on the link to read the story. It’s called ‘Detective Digiduck’ and it’s about a duck who loves using the internet to go online to find things out.
Remember children not everything online is true, check your facts and information, if in doubt ALWAYS ask a trusted adult.
