Common misconception

Children are all doing the same things online.

There is a huge variation in how children use the internet. Some don't use it at all and many children may use it to follow their own interests.

Throughout the school year, keep asking pupils about what they enjoy doing online. Their favourite online activities and interests will likely change as they develop.
