Lesson video

Hello.

My name is Ms. Wroth, and I'm so happy to be here with you today.

We've got a really exciting lesson that we are going to do together, and it is called Choosing What You Do Online.

This lesson fits into the unit Media Influences: How Do I Decide What to Do Online? Today's lesson outcome is I can describe what I can do online and explain what to do if I see something online that worries or scares me.

Let's begin by taking a look at our ground rules for today's lesson.

Laura says, "We should listen to others." And that means taking turns to speak and not interrupting when someone else is talking.

Andeep says, "Respect privacy." That means if somebody decides to share their experience or a story that we don't go and repeat it to other people outside of this lesson.

Jacob says, "No judgement ." And that means if somebody does decide to share their experience or a story that we don't judge them because of it.

And Izzy says, "Choose your level of participation." That means you can decide if you simply just want to listen or if you would like to share something.

Here are today's key words that are going to pop up throughout the lesson.

I will read them first to you and then you can repeat after me.

Are you ready? Online, worried, scared, trusted adult.

Great job, everyone.

So online means using the internet.

Worried means thinking about something bad or upsetting.

Scared means feeling afraid or worried about what might happen.

And trusted adult means someone we know offline who makes us feel safe who can help us.

I wonder if you can spot any of these key words throughout the lesson.

Let's have a go.

This is today's lesson outline and we are going to start with what can we do online? When we go online, we use the internet.

We can use different digital devices to go on the internet.

Is it always fun to be online? There are lots of fun things to do online.

We can chat to our friends, watch videos.

We can also learn new information and play games.

However, children do not need to go online to stay healthy.

Spending time outside and offline, that means away from digital devices, can help make children happy and healthy.

Some older children and adults need to go online more because of study or work.

Spending a lot of time online can affect us by making us feel tired or grumpy.

Laura says, "Going online for small amounts can be fun, but playing outside and talking to others is just as exciting." And Izzy says, "Getting enough time outside keeps us happy and healthy." Well done, Izzy.

If this happens, you must stop watching.

If you see something that pops up on a digital device you are using that looks strange, you must not click on it.

It might look like a message or a picture.

If this happens, stop watching and ask a trusted adult for help.

Trusted adults can block or report things that make us worried or scared.

To block or report something means that we don't have to see it again.

Jacob says, "Blocking and reporting helps us to stay safe online." It's always okay to talk about anything that makes you feel worried or scared, especially to a trusted adult.

Laura says, "I told my teacher when I saw an image on my computer that made me scared.

She told me it was okay and got rid of the image by reporting it." Well done, Laura, for telling your trusted adult.
