Lesson plan: Using the SID video spot as a prompt for discussion

This resource provides a brief lesson plan, and suggested extension activities, for using the SID 2012 video to facilitate discussion around online safety issues. It is differentiated into two age groups: pupils up to the age of 13, and those over 13. The suggested time allowed for each is 45 minutes but this can easily be adapted depending on the amount of time allocated for discussion and debate.
 

Lesson plan: Connecting generations

This lesson plan, originally published as part of Insafe’s 2011 Back to School campaign, provides an outline for a 90 minute lesson based on this years’ SID theme of ‘Connecting generations’. In it, pupils work on producing a leaflet or presentation to help teach their parents, carers or other family members about internet safety. The lesson plan is aimed at pupils aged 8–14.
 

Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) posters

Originally published as part of the Insafe’s 2011 Back to School campaign, and based around the word ‘Insafe’, the AUP poster gives top tips for staying safe online. There are two versions of the poster – one for children aged 6-11, and one for older children and teens aged 11-16. Each can be downloaded in A3, A4 and A5 formats.

And, if you’re looking at a similar activity to use in the classroom, why not check out our Safer Internet Day poster competition, where we invite children and young people to create similar using the initials ‘SID’, or based around the theme of ‘Connecting Generations’.
 

Overview of Facebook Timeline

First announced in September 2011, Timeline has been described as Facebook’s most revealing revamp. Mark Zuckerberg said that Timeline will allow users to “tell the whole story of their life on a single page”. Timeline will become compulsory for all users in a matter of weeks. This document gives you an overview of the key features of Timeline, and gives tips on how it can be managed to help protect your privacy.
