Internet Safety and Responsible Use

Learning and Teaching Scotland is committed to providing information to teachers, parents and young people on all aspects surrounding Internet Safety and Responsible Use.

A new National Glow group, focussing on Internet Safety and Responsible Use, has been created.

ISRUGroup

The group contains a mix of resources and ideas for teachers, pupils and parents surrounding the many areas of Internet Safety and Responsible Use – some of these areas include: cyberbullying; online fraud; viruses; social networking; digital footprints; social skills and netiquette.

The group was created as a result of the Scottish Government’s Child Internet Safety Action Plan and will support the implementation of Curriculum for Excellence.

In addition to the group, where you can find out more information as well as take part in discussions with other teachers, we have launched a new news service and resources section, built using the new Glow blogs.

Teachers are encouraged to join us in uploading resources that are successfully used  in the classroom, in the hope that other teachers can benefit.

We will be providing staff CPD via Glow Learn in time for schools going back in August.

If you have any links or resources covering this very important area please
visit the Glow group and get involved.
