This is a site on E-Safety.
What is E-Safety you ask?
Good question!
You may not think that your 'digital footprint' (the information you create and leave every time you access a connected device) is particularly important, nor that it could cause you problems in your 'off-line' life. But not only is being safe online important to you when you are surfing the net, playing Console or PC games, downloading or listening to music, or just sending and receiving texts, chats and images on a smartphone; it can also keep you safe in the off-line world. In your normal, day to day, everyday world.
How to keep safe on line is not just about keeping your name, address, age and other personal details safe from prying eyes. It is about enjoying all sorts of opportunities that the digital world now offers, whilst ensuring that everyone is as safe as possible whilst doing so.
Therefore, this site is divided into sections. Why? Another good question! (You are on the ball today aren't you!). This is a website that, from each page on from this 'Home' one, has been created, written, formatted and polished by members of Class 4 at our lovely school (and in the interests of the children's safety; I'll not mention which school here!).
Only those people who are invited will be able to access this site, and then only once it has been completed (no-one wants to see a site under construction; the mess is awful!). Every pupil who has contributed to a page has been under supervision at all times, but the creativity, the format and the message, are all the work of the pupils themselves.
I can hear you starting to ask another great question - how was this site created with so many pupils involved? Excellent! Well, the Class were divided into 3 groups of 10. Each group of 10 were then sorted (no hat was required) into pairs, and each pair was then given a subject to research and think about. So, there are pages on Mobile Phones, Music, Games, Digital Footprints and so on.
As we have quite a few groups, the subjects are replicated, but the work is, I believe, totally unique and there are some extremely good pieces of work from them contained in this website.
Before you go, just remember that, on average, each pupil has only had approximately 2 hours of computer time to spend on this project, spread across just a few afternoon sessions.
I am very proud of them; I hope you will be too.
