Safer Internet Day 2020 - #freetobe

Safer Internet Day 2020 explores the theme of online identity and asks - are we free to be who we want to be online?

Creating and using an avatar provides children with the opportunity to express their identity in different ways online. It may allow opportunities to accentuate aspects of their personality, or communicate their hobbies, likes and interests to others. It also offers opportunity to share or protect personal information, depending on the form an avatar takes.

Our internet, our choice - Understanding consent in a digital world

Still image for this video
What does it mean to give ‘consent’ and ‘permission’ when we are online and how important is choice and respect online?
Identify the different contexts in which we may need to give or receive permission and explore the consequences of doing so.

 


It is difficult to know what news is real and fake online.  If you see a news story online and it upsets you or you are not sure if it is true or not, always speak to a trusted adult about it. 

  • Some key questions to consider when analysing online news and stories:
  • Who created the news article and why might they have written it? 
  • Has it been presented fairly and with a balanced opinion? 
  • How is knowing this news helpful? What might have been left out of the news? 
  • Do the details, contents, pictures, sources, quality of writing, spelling give clues to it being fake or truthful?  
  • Is the heading ‘Click Bait’? Might people get paid if you click on it? 
  • Who might benefit or be harmed by the message

Friendships

It can be upsetting and very frustrating when you fall out with friends.  Avoid sharing your feelings publicly on social media and take time to think about the safest and most respectful way to respond. Approaching the situation calmly and speaking  face to face with people is a good way to start sorting out your differences - much safer than sharing them online and saying something you will regret. Remember that you cannot delete this and it will form part of your digital footprint. 

 

Remember to keep your behaviour online positive by applying the same rules of respect, courtesy and acceptance you use in person when you are online.
