We have created a range of resources to help you deliver sessions for Safer Internet Day, whether you are a school, nursery, youth group, library, police service, or wider. These educational resources have been specifically designed to support educators in delivering messages about our campaign theme of reliability online.
Films for 5-11 year olds
This short film for use with young people aged between 5 and 11 looks at a range of children creating avatars online and discussing the choices they make about how they represent themselves.
This film can be a great way of furthering the discussions raided the education packs, why not watch the film with your class and ask the following questions:
- Do you use avatars online?
- How can avatars be used to keep us safe online?’
- How can avatars help us express who we are?
- what would your avatar look like?
Films for 11-18 year olds
In our film for 11-18 year olds, which replicates a social media story, we hear young people share really interesting insights around two key questions around online identity: ‘Are people free to be who they are online?’ And ‘Is everyone fairly represented online?’
This film can be a great way of furthering the discussions raided the education packs, why not watch the film with your class and ask the following questions:
- Is everyone free to be themselves online?
- What did you think of the views expressed in this films?
- What does it mean to be fairly represented online?
- What do you wish we were free to be online?
