Common misconception
Everybody uses the internet.
Although by the end of primary school, more than 90% of children will be active users of the internet, many children do not have access due to financial issues or parental choices. In year 1, many children will not use the internet often.
Teacher tip
Acknowledge that it is not important for young people to go online at this age.
