Today Toucans learned about how we can manage online information. We watched a video from the National Online Safety website and then had a class discussion.
Here are our ideas:
What can we use laptops for?
- Sending emails
- Keeping in touch with friends and family
- Finding answers to questions
- Finding new facts
- Using Swiggle to search for information
We then thought about possible dangers and what the solutions might be:
Potential danger: Evelyn – Using FaceTime or Zoom you could be bullied by an unexpected person.
Solution: Ryan – You can block them and make sure an adult is with you
Potential danger: Thomas S – Viruses
Solution: Edey – You could delete the game. Salaf – You could tell a parent.
Potential danger: Using Roblox
Solution: Olivia – You can switch off the chat or always make sure an adult is with you.
We then discussed how our safest option for searching the internet is Swiggle. This search engine has even more protection for children. We discussed some places we had been to and how we could use Swiggle to find out more about these places.
Salaf – New York
Brooke – Wales
Eason – Japan and I was born in Hong Kong
Juwayriya – New York
Evelyn – Greece
Edey – Columbia
We decided next week to use what we had learned about managing information to research these places using Swiggle.
