Teachers
You have a pastoral interest in pupils. You know that much of the harm they face will be mediated by social media or other online channels.
They need to know- what positive, healthy and respectful online relationships look like
- the effects of their online actions on others
- how to recognise and display respectful behaviour online
When they’re online they should consider:
- whether a website, URL or email is fake
- what cookies do and what information they are sharing
- if a person or organisation is who they say they are
- why a person wants them to see, send or believe something
- why a person wants their personal information
- the reason why something has been posted
- whether something they see online is fact or opinion
Did we write that? No, it’s from Teaching online safety in schools on the UK government web site. And why not?
"Best of breed" e-safety advice is in dozens of different places on the Web.
We find that and signpost it.
Sometimes you want to do your own research, so we've also listed the main E-Security websites as a handy reference.
The world is changing weekly and to be the most help to others you need to keep up It would also be useful to consider where technology is going to take us in future.
Of course, there's always the problem of finding time to take in all this information.
We've put together collections of podcasts and videos, so that you can use your travel or waiting time productively.

We can't know everything about what online material is helpful in education. If you see something we should be listing, why not let us know?
