Keeping safe in the online world
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can recap the principles of staying safe online.
Key learning points
- We often have to use money or personal information to sign up to an app or website.
- We should tell an adult we trust if we feel unsafe online.
- We sometimes need to report, block and say no to people online.
- People should not ask us for our personal information online.
- Friends should be kind to each other online.
Keywords
Personal - something about us that is sensitive and private
Information - facts about something or someone
Report - to tell someone in charge what is happening
Manipulation - influencing someone's emotions to make them do something
Common misconception
There is no safe way to go online.
If we follow the rules for staying safe online, not sharing things with strangers and not watching things that upset us, we will be safer online.
Teacher tip
Encourage pupils to think about what information could be fake online, for example, fake photos and fake names. Reinforce the idea that we cannot know who anyone is online unless we know them offline and a trusted adult has checked that this person is who they say they are.
