Safer Internet Day 2018

Safer Internet Day 2018 will be celebrated globally on Tuesday, 6th February and offers the opportunity to highlight positive uses of technology and to explore the role we all play in helping to create a better and safer online community.

The internet has transformed the way we communicate and connect with each other and this has impacted our digital wellbeing and our relationships. The theme for Safer Internet Day this year is ‘Create, connect and share respect: a better internet starts with you’.

This theme encourages young people to work together to be positive, safe and respectful online and to consider how they interact with others to develop healthy online relationships.

Safer Internet

Calderhead High School’s Digital Leaders (S5 pupils Kaitlin Smith, Michaela Hughes, Alana Mcleod, Ceinwyn Barr and Yoana Vankova) organised Safe Internet Day Assemblies and workshops for S1-S3 pupils on Monday 30th and Tuesday 31st January.

The groups undertook a number of activities including a Mind Map station and informational video clips. The Leaders were able to see how much knowledge the younger year groups had of the dangers of the internet and how to be safe online by undertaking a quiz as a year group. This was a great way to get everyone interacting as the quiz was not just a “yes or no” answer – the participants also got involved in a great discussion about internet safety.
