Hello, my name is Miss Wroth.

Today's lesson is called "People on the Internet," and this fits into the lesson unit "Our Online Lives: "Who should I talk to online?" So let's get ready to begin.

Let's get our eyes ready to look, our ears ready to listen, and our brains ready to do some thinking.

Today's lesson outcome is I can explain why it is important to be respectful, and know what to do if I see someone being unkind online.

Let's begin by taking a look at our ground rules together, and we have some friends here to help us.

Laura says, "We should listen to others." And that means not interrupting when somebody else is speaking.

Andeep says, "We should respect privacy." And that means if somebody decides to share a story or their own experience, that we don't go and repeat it to others outside of this lesson.

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

And Izzy says, "Choose your level of participation." And that means you can decide if you simply just want to listen or if you want to share something throughout the lesson.

Here are today's keywords.

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

Are you ready? Post.

Inappropriate.

Behaviour.

Comments.

Well done.

In this context, post means to put something online, such as a video, image or text.

Inappropriate means when something is not suitable or right.

Behaviour means the things someone does and says.

And comments means the things people write or say about someone or something.

Let's see if we can spot any of these keywords throughout today's lesson.

Here is the lesson's outline, and we're going to begin with who uses the internet? Anyone in the world can use the internet to go online.

This includes children, teenagers, adults, and elderly people.

There are billions of people in the world who we do not know that also use the internet.

These people are called strangers.

We cannot trust strangers.

Jacob says, "I always forget how many people use the internet!" Me too, Jacob.

Time for a check for understanding.

Who can use the internet? Is it A, only children, B, only people we know or C, anyone in the world? Hmm, who can use the internet? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said C.

Anyone in the world can use the internet.

People use the internet for different reasons.

They might use the internet to learn new information, watch videos, play games, or chat to offline friends and family.

Laura says, "I use my mom's computer to play games online." And Jack says, "I use the internet to do my homework and to search things if I want to find out new information." Many adults use the internet for work.

Izzy's dad says, "I use my smartphone to chat to my work friends about the different jobs we have to do each day." Time for a check for understanding.

What do some people use the internet for? Is it A, to speak to work friends, B, to make lunch or C, to learn new things? Hmm.

What do some people use the internet for? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said A and C.

Some people use the internet to speak to work friends, and to learn new things.

Time for a task now.

Draw two pictures to show who uses the internet and then tell your partner who you have drawn.

One has been done for you, and I drew a picture of some adults.

Pause this video so you can do the task, and then we will go through the answers together.

Well done for having a go.

You could have drawn a picture of children and a picture of strangers.

Well done if your answer was similar to mine.

We're now going to move on to the second part of our lesson.

How should we behave online? We should always be kind and respectful online.

For example, Jacob has shared a kind message with Laura.

He says, "I love the picture of your artwork, Laura!" And Laura says, "Thank you!" This means we should think carefully about what we say and do online so that we don't hurt anyone's feelings.

Some people like to post things online.

This means to put something online for others to see, like a photo or video.

We should never post online without asking our trusted adult before.

If we are allowed to post online, we can ask ourselves these questions.

Hmm.

How would I feel if someone sent this message to me? Am I being kind? And is this message helpful? We can show respect to people online by listening if someone says no.

For example, Jacob has asked his friend, "Do you want to play a game together online?" Andeep says, "No thanks!" And Jacob types a response back and says, "That's ok!" Time for a check for understanding.

Fill in the missing word in this sentence.

We should always be and respectful online.

Hmm.

What could that missing word be? We should always be, and respectful online.

Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said kind.

We should always be kind and respectful online.

Sometimes we might see inappropriate behaviour online.

Inappropriate behaviour online can include unkind comments, sharing photos or videos of someone else without their permission.

So that means when they have not said it is okay to do this.

And showing people scary videos or games.

Seeing unkind comments or inappropriate behaviour online can hurt our feelings and make us feel worried or upset.

It's important not to respond to unkind comments and to tell a trusted adult straightaway.

Time for a check for understanding.

True or false? Inappropriate behaviour online includes unkind comments.

You can put your hands on your head if you think it's true, or your hands on your shoulders if you think it's false.

Hmm.

Inappropriate behaviour online includes unkind comments.

Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said true.

Trusted adults can report or block someone online for us by using the report and block buttons on websites or apps.

This means we don't have to see the inappropriate behaviour again.

Time for a check for understanding.

Izzy has seen someone make an unkind comment online.

Who should she tell? Izzy's dad, Izzy's younger sister or Izzy's mum? Hmm.

Izzy has seen someone make an unkind comment online.

Who should she tell? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said Izzy's dad or Izzy's mom.

Time for a task now.

Lucas wants to go online.

Write down two tips that can help Lucas behave online in a positive way.

Pause this video so you can have some time to do the task, and then we will go through the answers together.

Well done for having a go.

Your answers could include, think carefully about what you say and do online so that you don't hurt anyone's feelings.

Listen, if someone says no to you, and always tell a trusted adult if you see an unkind comment or inappropriate behaviour online.

Well done if your answer was similar to mine.

We're now going to move on to the third and final part of this lesson.

Is being online different to being offline? Being online is similar to being offline in some ways.

Laura says, We must remember to always be kind and respectful online, just as we do offline." Jacob says, "If we feel worried about something online, we must tell a trusted adult, just as we do if we feel worried about something offline." However, there are also lots of differences between being online and offline.

For example, if someone posts an unkind comment online, like the one on your screen that says, "You're rubbish at this game," it can be difficult to delete it, which means it might stay on the internet for a long time.

This is because people online can take a screenshot of what has been said online and send it to other people.

A screenshot is a picture of a screen of a digital device.

Time for a check for understanding.

True or false? It's always easy to delete unkind comments from the internet.

Put your hands on your head if you think it's true, or your hands on your shoulders if you think it's false.

Hmm.

It's always easy to delete unkind comments from the internet.

True or false? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said false.

People could take a screenshot of the unkind comments and share them with other people.

When we go online, it can be hard to tell what someone means in a message or how they're feeling.

For example, Jacob has sent a message that says, "Haha, that's so silly!" Now, Andeep said, "That's not kind." The same words offline might not be seen as unkind.

For example, people might laugh and smile as they say something so the other person knows that the comment is not meant to be unkind, but when they are online, it is harder to show this.

This is why it's so important to think carefully about what we say and do online.

Time for a check for understanding.

How is being online different to being offline? Is it A, because we should only be kind to others offline, B, because people can take screenshots of unkind comments online, or C because it can be hard to tell what someone means online? Hmm.

How is being online different to being offline? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said B and C.

Being online is different to being offline because people can take screenshots of unkind comments online, and it can also be hard to tell what someone means online.

When we're offline, we can usually tell if someone is a stranger because we don't recognise their face or voice.

However, when we're online, it can be difficult to know if they are a stranger because they might pretend to be our friend or family member.

We must always tell a trusted adult if we think a stranger is trying to talk to us online.

Trusted adults can also help us check if the person is someone we know and trust offline, or if they are a stranger.

We must never reply to a stranger.

Time for a check for understanding.

What should we do if we think a stranger is trying to talk to us online? Is it A, talk to them, B, show the message to our school friend, or C, tell our trusted adult? Hmm.

What should we do if we think a stranger is trying to talk to us online? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said C.

We must tell our trusted adult.

Time for a task now.

Jun is talking about being online.

He says, "Being online is just like being offline.

There are no differences." Tell your partner two reasons why Jun is wrong.

Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done for having a go.

Your answers could include screenshots of unkind comments can be shared with other people.

This means they can stay on the internet for a long time.

It can be difficult to spot who a stranger is online because they might pretend to be our friend or family member.

And it can be hard to tell what someone means in a message or how they're feeling when speaking to someone online.

Well done if your answers were similar to mine.

This brings us to the end of our lesson, and here is a summary of everything that we've covered today.

Anyone around the world can use the internet to go online, including strangers.

It is important to be kind and respectful online so that we don't upset anyone's feelings.

This is especially important as people can take screenshots of inappropriate behaviour online.

We must remember to always tell a trusted adult if we see inappropriate behaviour online, including unkind comments.

There are some similarities and differences between going online and being offline.

For example, a difference is that it can be harder to spot strangers online compared to when we are offline.

Here is a slide with different places that you can get support from.
