Unit 2.2 – Online Safety - Lesson 1

In Y2 Computing today we started our new unit on 'Online Safety'.

The aims of our session were - 

- To know how to refine searches using the Search tool.
- To know how to share work electronically using the display boards (on Purple Mash).
- To use digital technology to share work on Purple Mash to communicate and connect with others locally.
- To have some knowledge and understanding about sharing more globally on the Internet.

We all did a great job of accessing Purple Mash and using the 'Search' tool -




Purple Mash is an example of SAFE SEARCH.

In our lesson today, we talked about the importance of only using SAFE SEARCH tools.

Google or Bing is NOT a SAFE SEARCH tool and should not be used by children without adult supervision.

We also talk about the dangers of searching the Internet today -


It would be great if everyone could continue this discussion on at home.

Would your child come to you if they did come across anything inappropriate or upsetting online?

How would you respond if this happened?

These are all important things to think about in our increasingly digital world.
