The Experiences and Outcomes for Cyber Resilience and Internet Safety (CRIS) can be found under the Digital Literacy organiser in the Technologies curricular area. However, there are many opportunities to link it into other areas of the curriculum, including literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing.
This page provides information, ideas and resources to support you plan for teaching CRIS as a discreet area with its own skills and knowledge but also how to incorporate it into other others of the curriculum too.
What to teach and when to teach it
The first thing to understand is that even as apps and devices change, the way we use the internet has not really changed since its conception in the 1960s. We, adults, chidlren and young people, all use the internet to consume, create and communicate. For example, you might read the news (consume), write an email (create), and video call someone (communicate).
Regardless of the device, platform or service these behaviours have been consistent for a long time. Therefore it is worth focusing on these key areas when planning learnign or supporting children and young people with their online lives:
CONSUME
CREATE
COMMUNICATE
By understanding these behaviours, you will be clearer about the appropriate learnign or guidance that they will require.
CONSUME
CREATE
COMMUNICATE
