Internet Safety

Keeping young learners safe online is a big responsibility for teachers. We have to make our students aware of the dangers that exist in the digital world. The following multimedia resources were created to help learners reflect on how their actions online could lead to dangerous consequences.

• Brain Pop Jr. Internet Safety- a short animated video that could be used as a discussion starter about cyber-safety.
• Common Sense with Phineas and Ferb- another short video about cyber-safety.
• Generation Safe- Have access to an entire curriculum for teaching cyber-safety and digital literacy.

 

The following are online safety games for learners-

During the course of the game‚ players receive on-the-job training and help the Bamdudes and save their cookie recipe!
