Given the importance of keeping our young people safe, we’ve kicked off the year 7 curriculum with a series of lessons looking at digital citizenship and esafety. This gives students an opportunity to come in to the school and familiarise themselves with our learning systems. It tied in nicely with a piece I’ve just written for the local ‘Bristol Post’ newspaper on digital parenting and esafety. In the lesson today students were able to use the piece as a stimulus for their work.
Today we looked at how they were the digital champions of their households but how their parent/guardians might need a bit of help; not only with what is out there but also what it is they do with social media and technology AND how technology can be of benefit to them.
