At Knocknagoney Primary School we believe that digital technologies are very powerful resources which can enhance and transform teaching and learning. We believe that technology has an integral role to play in helping pupils to achieve their full potential, assisting them in overcoming barriers to learning and in supporting learning throughout the school community. We aim to integrate technology throughout our curriculum with children using the internet for research and other class projects. With this in mind, internet and online safety is of vital importance.
We have recently put in a place a new UICT E-Safety scheme in all our classrooms to ensure that E-Safety education is taking place and pupils are aware of the risks when using the internet.
Virgin Media have provided us with some useful tools that will assist parents when they are considering the safety of their children online. Take a look below:
