Description

In this unit, pupils will evaluate the online world and their own internet activity for safety concerns in order to equip themselves with tools for protecting their online identities. They key takeaway of this unit is a repository of practical, risk-reducing steps that pupils can implement online.

As most pupils already have an online presence and experience of digital spaces, this unit encourages them to think more critically about their own behaviour and the actions of others online. It challenges pupils to engage with important debates, such as the balance between personal privacy and the powers of organisations or governments. By developing their own ideas and opinions, pupils grow into thoughtful and responsible digital citizens, able to navigate the online world with confidence and an understanding of their rights and responsibilities.
