Ian Murray MP Working Hard for Edinburgh South
This month I took part in a livestream assembly for Craigour Primary School with Be Internet Legends.
Be Internet Legends is an interactive educational programme from Google and Parent Zone which helps primary school children across the UK to become safer and more confident explorers of the online world. Developed in close collaboration with experts, children and schools, Be Internet Legends focuses on five internet safety pillars:
- Being Sharp about what they share
- Being Alert to scams and phishing attacks
- Being Secure by creating strong passwords and looking after their personal information
- Being Kind to others online
- Being Brave by talking to trusted adults when they come across something they’re not
sure about.
There are lots of free resources available for teachers, including a downloadable curriculum pack and an additional digital wellbeing module: https://beinternetlegends.withgoogle.com/en_uk. Google and Parent Zone also offer virtual teacher workshops to help staff make the most of these resources – and strengthen their support for school communities https://parentzone.org.uk/be-internet-legends-online-teacher-workshops
