Benefits of the Internet

Everyone is really positive about the internet and how important it is in your day to day lives – for education, networking and entertainment. It helps with learning and makes doing homework more interesting. You also love to use the internet to keep in touch with friends.

90% of children aged 5-16 now have a computer at home

(ChildWise, 2008)

Nearly all of you have access to the interneteither at home or at school. Those of you that are younger love to use it for games whilst 12-15 year olds use it for school work and for downloading music and movies or watchingvideo clips. Older teenagers are more likely to use the internet for communicating with friends on social networking sites, uploading things and using blogs.

S.M.T.

This is a suggestion of who might be involved in the ‘E-safety team. The Head teacher may not need to be involvedNot all the S.M.T. will be involved but some will have responsibilities for special needs, pastoral care, etc. and their knowledge will be very useful to this team.Somebody will need to be given the role of ‘E-safety co-ordinator’ with the responsibility of managing this team.
