LI: I am learning how to keep myself and others safe online.
This week Tay Clan have been learning how to be respectful to others when being online. Firstly, we watched a video which showed us how Smartie helped his friend who was receiving unkind messages from others when playing games. We learned that it is important to stop and think before we click. Tay discussed what respect feels like, looks like and sounds like online. We described how we should be calm, positive, using kind words, excited and nurturing towards our friends.
Next, we worked in partners to explore the Interland game. We had the job of blocking and reporting any gamers who were using unkind words online. Tay also created examples of what a respectful chat online would look like. We selected which chat room we wanted to create- Minecraft, Xbox, PlayStation, Roblox and Fornite- and made our own examples of kind messages. We shared the chats we created in our clan and we described what made them respectful.
At home, Tay can continue exploring the Interland game to find out more about internet safety. They should make sure they follow the steps if they feel someone has been unkind to them online.
