Remote Learning for Safer Internet DayAges 11-14

This Safer Internet Day we want to support all settings and young people in exploring the theme, ‘An internet we trust: exploring reliability in the online world.’

With many young people now learning remotely, this document provides an overview of some of the resources provided by the UK Safer Internet Centre and their partners that mean all young people can join in the celebrations, wherever they are.

Education Pack for Ages 11-14

This pack includes an assembly, lesson plan and activity menu designed for delivery with 11-14 year olds. They come with slides to support with adaptation for remote learning. The pack also includes a document with social media and campaign activities. Educators are invited to pick and mix from the activities in the education pack and adapt for their learners.

Depending on your setting’s approach, you may wish to consider the following suggestions:

I want to do a live video session with my learners

Adapt the Lesson Plan and Slides for remote learning by focussing on the Starter and Activities 1 and 2. Start by asking learners to make a mind-map of what they have seen online that is unbelievable and if possible, discuss whether they went for things that are amazing, not trustworthy or a combination of the two.

Next, use the Trust-O-Meter (Lesson Slides 5-14). After each example give learners an opportunity to share their response, either by speaking aloud or using the chat function if available.You may wish to use Slide 15 and Slide 21 to finish the session or set the Dig Deeper activity for learners to complete independently. Share Appendices 1A-D (Slides 24 -27) with all learners so they can choose their own focus, or you could select for them. Learners can complete the appendix they choose by printing or annotating online/adding text boxes. You may wish to provide Appendix 2 (Slide 28) for additional support.
