Key Stage 3 and above powerpoint presentation on the consequences of cyber bullying and what young people can do to protect themselves.

Topics include:

- What is bullying
- What is cyber bullying
- Bully/target/bystander descriptions
- A look at Kidscape's cyber bullying campaign video #DontSayDontSend
- The difference between 'banter' and threatening behaviour
- The consequences of cyber bullying
- How to deal with and prevent cyber bullying

Children need to stay safe on-line and teachers can take practical steps to increase awareness of the dangers. Three simple classroom activities can help here. E-safety consultant Dr Alan Beecham visits Rhodesway Secondary School in Bradford to work with a group of Year 9 students. Dr Beecham, Haroon Gardee, a humanities teacher, and Year 7 Inclusion Manager Max Crowther gauge pupils' reaction to a ficticious profile they created on a social networking site. The second activity highlights the dangers of sharing too much information, and the third focuses on security and privacy settings. At Stocksbridge High School in Sheffield e-safety officers apply a 'safe use of the internet' policy, run parental awareness evenings, and act as a point of contact for pupils.

Year 7 E-safety

A powerpoint presentation focused on password security and the issues they may come against when gaming. It includes learning objectives, a plan do review structure, three tasks and scaffolded information. Other lessons available in a bundle based on E-Safety.

A power point that goes through what sexting is; what you should do; who can help and the illegality of it.

Could be used in a set of assemblies following Internet safety day on 7/2/17

Assembly; tutor time or PSHE resource

I tend to use these with a Kagan cooperative learning structure (usually 'Showdown' or 'Numbered Heads Together'). See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVvn7G792jI to see how the 'Showdown' structure works.

This booklet contains background information, advice and guidance for secondary teachers relating to e-safety issues. Becta material made available under the Open Government Licence.

The idea is that students complete them on the computer, then upload to their eportfolio/VLE. The worksheets can be modified to suit your requirements.
