Lesson video

Hello, my name is Ms. Willow and I'm going to be guiding you through today's learning.

Today's lesson is called "Our Favourite Things Online," and it fits into our unit called, "Our Online Lives: How can I be kind and happy online?" I'm really looking forward to teaching you this lesson today, so let's make a start.

By the end of today's lesson, you will be able to describe enjoyable things to do online, and you'll be able to explain how to keep your personal information safe.

Before we get started, we need to go over some ground rules.

These help to make sure that everyone feels safe and comfortable throughout today's lesson.

Laura says that we need to listen to others.

That means we're not going to interrupt if other people are speaking.

Jacob says we need to not have any judgement.

That means we're not going to judge other people for what they say, what they feel, what they think, or what they've experienced.

Andeep says we need to respect each other's privacy.

That means we're not going to ask anyone any personal questions as this can make some people feel uncomfortable.

And Izzy says that we can choose our level of participation.

That means it's up to us how much we want to join in.

We're now going to go through the keywords for today's lesson.

These are gonna pop up multiple times throughout today's lesson, so it's really important that we have a good understanding of what each word means.

The word online means using the internet.

Personal is something about us that is sensitive and private.

Information, this is words and numbers that mean something.

As we go through today's lesson, keep an eye out for these words and see if you can remember what they mean.

Today's lesson is split into three learning cycles.

The first learning cycle is called "What do we enjoy doing online?" The second learning cycle is called, "Is everything online free?" And the last learning cycle is called, "What happens when I sign into an app?" Let's make a start on our first learning cycle, "What do we enjoy doing online?" There are lots of fun things to do online.

We can watch videos, we can play games, and we can visit child-friendly websites.

When we say child-friendly, this means safe and appropriate for children.

Lots of people enjoy going online for different reasons.

Some people go online to learn new things.

They might want to message offline friends.

This means friends that they know offline.

They might go online to have fun.

For example, they might play games or watch videos.

They might go online to relax.

We should only message people online that we know offline.

This might be someone that we know at school or someone from a club, or a family member, or trusted adult.

However, it can be very risky to go online.

This means that it could be dangerous if we're not careful when we're using the internet and digital devices.

Jacob says, even if we're having fun, we should always be careful about going online, and be aware of the risks.

Let's do a check for understanding to see how you're getting on so far.

Which of these are fun things to do online? A, play games, B, message online strangers, or C, visit child-friendly websites.

There might be more than one correct answer for this one, so think carefully.

What do you think? Pause the video.

Tell the person next to you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said A and C.

Some fun things to do online are play games and visit child-friendly websites.

Remember, this means websites that are safe and appropriate for children.

We can put things that we enjoy into different categories.

For example, watching and listening, playing and creating, learning and connecting.

There are lots of things online to watch and listen to.

In the first category.

watching and listening, this can involve watching films, TV shows, and videos online.

It can involve listening to audio books, these are books which are read out loud, and listening to music.

It's really important to check with a trusted adult before we watch or listen to something online to make sure that it is child friendly.

There are also lots of ways to play and to create online.

Playing and creating can involve playing online games.

It could involve drawing or colouring using an online app or website.

It could also involve writing stories or poems, and it could also involve making videos or animations.

We should check with a trusted adult before we play a new game or use a new app to check that it is safe for children and okay for us to use.

Let's do another check for understanding.

You're doing a fantastic job so far, so keep up the amazing work.

Have a look at the categories and think about which words are missing.

Pause the video.

Tell the person next to you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that the words watching and playing were missing words.

In the first two categories, you should have watching and listening and playing and creating.

Well done if you got this right.

There are lots of websites that we can learn from online.

The internet is full of information about lots of different things.

We can go online to learn more about something that we're already interested in or to get better at something that we might find a bit tricky or a bit difficult.

But remember to check with a trusted adult before you use a new website to check that it is safe for children and okay for you to use.

Being online can also help us to connect with people that we already know offline, for example, our friends at school or family members.

When we want to connect with others online, this can involve messaging someone.

It could involve video calling them or playing a game with them, but remember to check with a trusted adult before you go online to speak to an offline friend.

They can check that this is a safe thing to do.

Trusted adults are really important for helping us to stay safe online.

We should check with a trusted adult.

If we want to visit a website or app for the first time.

We should tell a trusted adult if something online makes us feel worried or nervous, or even just like it's not quite right.

We should also tell a trusted adult if someone that we don't know messages us.

Let's do another check for understanding.

This time, we're going to do a true or false question.

Is this statement true or false? We should tell a trusted adult if someone that we don't know messages us online.

What do you think? Pause the video.

Tell the person next to you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that this is true, It is true that you should always tell a trusted adult if someone that you don't know messages you online.

This helps to keep you safe.

We're now going to put your learning from this learning cycle into practise.

For the first parts of this question, I would like you to name three things that we can enjoy doing online.

And for the second part of the activity, I'd like you to tell the person next to you or have a think to yourself one way that you can stay safe doing each of these things.

Pause the video and I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Okay, let's have a look and see what you might have said.

You might have said watching and listening, which can involve watching films, TV shows and videos, listening to audio books and listening to music.

You might have said, playing and creating, playing online games, drawing or colouring on an online app or website, writing stories or poems, and making videos or animations.

For the learning category, you might have said visiting different websites to learn about something that we're interested in or to get better at something that we find difficult.

For connecting, you might have said messaging someone online, video calling, and playing a game with someone online.

For the next part of the question, you might have said, for watching and listening, tell a trusted adult before we watch or listen to something new so that they can check that it's child friendly.

For playing and creating, you might have said tell a trusted adult before we want to play a new game or use a new app to check that it is safe.

For learning, you might have said tell a trusted adult before we visit a new website to check that it's safe.

And for connecting, you might have said to only speak to people online that we also know offline, and to tell our trusted adult if someone that we don't know messages us.

Well done if you've got this or something similar.

You are doing a fantastic job so far and I'm really proud of you.

We are now moving on to our second learning cycle.

Is everything online free? For many things online, we don't need to pay money to use them.

For example, we usually don't need to pay money to watch videos online to visit different websites and to message people online.

However, sometimes we do have to pay to do things online.

Sometimes we need to pay to purchase items online, so like online shopping.

Sometimes we need to pay to download certain apps and sometimes we need to pay to play certain games.

If we're not sure if something online is free, we should always check with a trusted adult before we click on it.

Like in this example here, some apps can seem free but they have hidden costs, even though the app says download this app for free, click here.

If you look closely, it says that it's a seven-day free trial, and then £24.

99 a month.

This means that whilst it's free for the first week, after that, you need to pay 24.

99 a month in order to keep using the app.

Sometimes an app or website might claim to be free, but instead it asks for bank card details.

If an app or website asks for details of a bank card, we should always tell a trusted adult straight away so that they can decide if it is safe.

Let's do a check for understanding to see how you're getting on with this new learning cycle.

Is this statement true or false? Everything online is free.

What do you think.

Pause the video.

Tell the person next to you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said false.

But why? Not everything online is free.

Sometimes we have to pay for something with money.

Even if something looks free, we should always ask a trusted adult to check for hidden costs.

Well done if you got this right.

Sometimes activities are free online, but we have to enter our personal information to do them.

Our personal information tells other people important things about us.

It includes our name.

In this case, we've got Lucas.

Our age, where we live, and our passwords.

All of these can make up our personal information.

We should never share our personal information with people that we don't know online.

However, sometimes we do need to put in our personal information into a website or app in order to use it properly.

For example, it might ask us for our name, our age or date of birth, which is our birthday, and it might also ask for our email address.

These are all examples of personal information that websites or apps might ask for from time to time.

Many apps and websites don't ask for our personal information for us to use them, so if a website or app does ask for this, we should double check with a trusted adult before we give the website or app our personal information.

This helps to keep our personal information safe.

Here, Sophia has been asked for her name, age, and her email address, so she's being really sensible by saying, "Before I type this in, I'm going to ask my trusted adult if this website is safe." Let's do another check for understanding.

Well done for your hard work so far.

You're doing a fantastic job.

Which of these are examples of personal information that we shouldn't share with people online? Is it A, our name, B, our favourite colour, or C, our address? There might be more than one correct answer to this one, so remember to think carefully.

Pause the video, have a think.

Tell the person next to you or tell me.

Which of these should we not share with people online? Well done if you said A and C.

Our name and address are examples of our personal information, and they shouldn't be shared with people online.

Let's put your learning from this learning cycle into practise.

This time, I'd like you to explain why Sam is incorrect, and I'd like you to write down or think about what she should do instead.

Sam says that this app is free so it's safe to download it, and this website says I need to put in my personal information so I should put that in.

Pause the video, have a think, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Okay, let's have a look and see what you might have got.

You might have said that even though the app says it is free to download, there are hidden costs.

If we look closely at the app, it says "Download this free app now." But if we look even closer, it says there's a 14-day free trial, and then it's £12.

99 a month.

This means that even though the app originally looks like it's free, it's actually only free for a short period of time, and then it's going to cost money.

Sam should make sure that she speaks to her trusted adult first, and she shouldn't download the app because there are hidden costs.

Well done if you got this right.

When we look at the website, we can see that the website is asking for her name, age, and card details.

This is asking for personal information so it's supported that Sam speaks to a trusted adult before she puts this information in as the website might not be safe.

She should also make sure that her trusted adult knows that the website is asking for bank card details, and this could be dangerous if the website isn't safe.

It could take money from Sam's account or Sam's trusted adult's account without them realising.

Well done if you got this right.

We are now moving on to our third and final learning cycle.

Well done for your hard work so far.

Our third learning cycle is called "What happens when I sign into an app?" Some websites and apps ask you to create an account when you use them for the first time.

This might include creating a username, creating a password, or giving the website or app some personal information.

We should always ask a trusted adult before we create an online account.

They can help to make sure that we're using a safe and child-friendly website or app and that the website that we're using will keep our personal information safe.

Websites which keep our personal information safe usually have a padlock next to the website name, but we should still always check with a trusted adult so that they can make sure that we're making a safe choice online.

Trusted adults can also help us to choose a safe username and password.

Our online username should not be related to our real name.

For example, a safe choice might be something like FunkyHedgehog589 as this doesn't relate to our real name.

Any passwords that we create online should also be unique to that website.

They should be at least eight characters long and difficult for others to guess.

Here, the password aNimalLoverR?985 is made up of lots of different characters.

It's got lowercase letters, capital letters, punctuation and numbers, which makes this a good choice for a password as it's difficult for others to guess.

Let's do a check for understanding to see how you're doing with this learning cycle.

Who has the safest username and password and why? Laura's username is BookReader6512, and her password is iLoveBookS7673!.

Alex's username is AlexOak123 and his password is password123.

Who do you think has the safest username and password, and why? Pause the video.

Tell the person next to you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that Laura has the safest username and password.

This is because her username and password aren't related to her name, and they're also difficult for others to guess.

Well done if you got this one right.

Companies usually want our personal information because they're able to sell it to other people online for lots of money.

Here, Alex is putting in his personal information.

When Alex puts in his personal information, the app or website can sell this information for money.

They might sell that his name is Alex, that he's 12 years old, or that his address is 1 Oak Rd.

Apps and websites can sell this information for money.

Even if we don't pay money for something, we can often still pay to use the app or website by giving them our personal information.

Remember, this is because they're able to sell our personal information to different places.

It can be risky to put our personal information online, so it's really important that we always talk to a trusted adult before we sign in to an app or a website.

Let's do another check for understanding is this statement true or false? If we don't pay for something online in money, there is no cost.

What do you think? Is this true or false? Pause the video.

Tell the person next to you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that this statement is false.

But why? You might have said that even if something doesn't cost money online, we might be paying in our personal information.

Well done if you got this right.

We're now moving on to our final practise task.

Well done for your hard work.

I'm really proud of how you're getting on.

Our practise task says that Andeep wants to create an online account for an app.

I'd like you to explain to him what personal information he might have to give and how he should set up an account safely.

Andeep asks, "How do I create an online account safely?" Can you help him? Pause the video and I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Okay, let's have a look and see what you might have said.

You might have said that Andeep should check with a trusted adult first to make sure that the app is safe.

He might also be asked for his personal information, like his name, age, or address.

He should also set up a username which is not similar to his real name, and a password which is at least eight characters long and difficult for others to guess.

Well done if you've got this or something similar.

We are now going to summarise the key learning from today's lesson.

In today's lesson, we've learned that being online can be lots of fun, but it's also risky, so we should make sure that we're taking care when we're using the internet.

We can put the things that we enjoy to do online into different categories to help us understand how we can enjoy being online.

For example, playing, and creating, and learning.

Sometimes we have to pay money to do things online, and sometimes there are hidden costs.

Sometimes activities online are free, but we pay by sharing our personal information, like our name, age, and address.

Well done for your fantastic hard work in today's lesson.

I'm really proud of you, and I hope to see you again soon.
