Activities about Internet Safety

12th Safer Internet Day

Teacher: Stavroula Lada, 2015

On Monday 9/2/2015 the 4th class of primary school DDMN Naval Base in Crete in Greece and the teacher, Stavroula Lada, watched videos offered by the greek internet channel “saferinternet.org”. They then discussed about the dangers on the reckless use of internet and did some activities, like drawing, games etc.

After that, they invited 3 other classes of the school and watched together some videos. In the end, all students of all 3 classes discussed on internet safety matters and decided to talk to their parents as well. The director of the school watched and participated in the 3 classes discussion.

The next day, on Tuesday 10/2/2015 a skype videoconference was held among 17 students of the fourth grade of primary school DDMN Naval Base in Crete in Greece and 27 students of the third grade of elementary school Stavrakiou.

Students watched the video entitled "The magic behind the magic!" Then they took action themselves. They chatted on matters concerning the use and safety in the Internet. They emphasized the problems caused by the indiscriminate use of the computer and the effects of inherent use. They talked about how important is the use of codes and their frequent change and what should be the actions in case they receive a threatening message.

Finally, the communication between the two schools closed by creating a beautiful poem entitled "Dangers Of Internet". The poem was "written" interactively and in collaboration with the web tool “titanpad” in real time! One school began the verse and the other was completing it. So the students of both schools created four quatrains which then were turned into a song, which they sang together.

Dangers Of Internet(poem in greek)In the game when you enterbe careful not to get lostyou will find many dangersbut do not be afraid! If you get virusDo not panicconsult your parentsnot be ashamed, do not be

afraid! If you are in front of an unknown personhang up in the momentto be safe! Do not give him the detailsand no photobecause you’ll get into

troubleand you won’t be safe.

The experience was unique not only for the students but also for the teachers who participated and who are already partners in an educational e-Twinning program.
