Educational resources
Safer Internet Day is the UK’s biggest campaign to inspire children and young people to ‘Be the change’ and use technology positively and responsibly. To help schools, youth groups and others get involved on 7th February 2017, the UK Safer Internet Centre has launched a range of new resources that explore the power of image and video in young people’s digital lives.
From films to lesson plans and presentations, the age-tailored resources will enable educators to deliver engaging activities for Safer Internet Day and empower children, staff and parents and carers to use technology safely, positively and responsibly.
- Engage children by running assemblies or group activities using the Safer Internet Day Education Packs with accompanying SID TV films. The films are also available in BSL.
- Join the youth photo campaign to empower children to create engaging images that communicate a message.
- Reach out to parents and carers by running a session or sharing information (use the Parent and Carer Pack for Safer Internet Day).
- Safer Internet Day Quiz – asking young people how much they know about sharing and engaging with images and videos online
