In November last year we ran a live chat on bullying and one of the key issues that came up was that children were now increasingly being cyberbullied at a very young age.
Tim Browse, headteacher of Hillcrest primary in Bristol, spoke about one girl in his class whose online maths programme account got hacked and her avatar picture changed to a boy. "As you can imagine, for a six year old that is really upsetting," he said.
He believes that children need to be educated about e-safety as soon as they begin using technology. But how do you explain issues such as cyberbullying and password protection to a five year old?
One approach being taken by primary schools in Berkshire is using the story of Digiduck, who is planning to put a silly photograph of Proud Pig on a social media website as a joke. Panellists in the live chat highlighted that children sometimes don't understand that their actions online have consequences and the story workshop aims to tackle this.
Teachers have also taken to Twitter and Facebook to educate pupils, by posting photos to show how quickly information can spread. One teacher's photo was shared 16,200 times and liked 607,400 times on Facebook in a few days. You can read more on the story on the Huffington Post.
So, in preparation for Safer Internet Day on 11 February, we're running a live chat on 4 February to discuss creative approaches to teaching e-safety, how schools can make online learning more secure, ways educators can create a better internet and more.
Whether you're a teacher looking for some inspiration or an expert who's got lots of ideas to share, join us on Tuesday 4 February, 5.30pm to 7.30pm, to discuss all things e-safety.
