Safer Internet Day

Safer Internet Day is on Tuesday 9th February 2021. At Highfields we are in a privileged position as you all have your own laptops that support your experience of teaching and learning.

Due to COVID-19 we are faced with another national lockdown which has resulted in schools closing. You are all working extremely hard at home and are engaging with remote learning. This does however mean that you are spending lots of time learning and socialising online.

Due to the amount of time that you are spending online it is extremely important that you understand how to stay safe. It is also vital that you have time away from the internet and your devices to improve your well being, physical and mental health.

During your lessons this week you will have been given information relating to being safe online. We have explored the following topics: Social Media, Sharing Images and Videos, Online Gaming and Remote Learning.

Please find below a range of tasks that you can complete during your own time to develop your understanding of the topics that we have covered this week:

  • Write a text message to a friend outlining why you don’t think they should post a photo or video of a Year 10 student being pushed over at the park on their way back from school

  • You are in charge of a social media campaign to help support online safety around sharing photos and videos. Create:

    • Two posts for either Twitter or Instagram

    • A hashtag to support your campaign for example, #AskBeforeYouPost

  •  Create a leaflet/ poster on one of the topics that we have covered to promote being safe online

If you do decide to complete any of the tasks above then please send these to abates@hswv.co.uk as we would love to share these on our school website.
