Let’s Create a Better Internet Together

Safer Internet Day 2014 LogoDuring the week of Tuesday 11th February, students in Year 4, 5 and 6 participated in Safer Internet Day 2014 through Cyber safety workshops held in their classroom. The theme for Safer Internet Day this year was “Let’s create a better internet together” and students discussed the responsibilities that they can take to make the internet a better place.

We discussed how it is not one person’s responsibility to make the internet better, but everyone’s.  Young people, parents, educators, industry and politicians can all contribute to the main aim of fostering the positive and eliminating the negative online.

Students watched the following video from the Safer Internet Day website, and then discussed how the images and lyrics related to challenges that they may face when using the internet.

Finally, the students were asked “What are some rules that everyone should follow to help make a better internet for everyone”.  Here are the responses from one of the year 5 classes that they posted to a collaborative wall on the lino website.
