What is it?<\/h2>\n

ProjectEVOLVE<\/a> provides a framework and progression with matched activities and resources, to support anyone working with children and young people to equip them for digital life, from early years to age 18. ProjectEVOLVE takes the hundreds of statements from UK Council for Internet Safety’s (UKCIS) framework \u201cEducation for a Connected World\u201d<\/a> and marries together perspectives, research, activities, outcomes, supporting resources and professional development materials. ProjectEVOLVE is free to use.<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/h2>\n

ProjectEVOLVE provides a vast library of content with a variety of ways of navigating so that you can find what you need to suit the way you are looking for the information and resources.\u00a0The toolkit covers knowledge, skills, behaviours and attitudes across eight strands of our online lives from early years right through to age eighteen (based on UKCIS framework \u201cEducation for a Connected World\u201d. These outcomes or competencies are mapped to age and are progressive. The statements guide educators as to the areas they should be discussing with children as they develop their use of online technology.<\/p>\n

If you access via the strands then once you select from the various strands you then can choose an age group (for example)\u00a0 to then be presented with the age-appropriate statements and, as you click on a statement this leads on to the supporting activities and resources for that strand, that age group and that specific statement.<\/p>\n

The strands are Self-Image and Identity; Online Relationships; Online Reputation; Online Bullying; Managing Online Information; Health, Wellbeing and Lifestyle; Privacy and Security; and Copyright and Ownership.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

ProjectEVOLVE turns the UK Council for Internet Safety’s (UKCIS) framework \u201cEducation for a Connected World<\/a> from a comprehensive document into a progression of learning opportunities with supporting conversation\/lesson prompts, presentations\/activities\/resources.<\/p>\n
