Intro

'Identity, Image and Reputation' deals with keeping our personal data safe online. In Year 5 we focus on the sort of information, images and videos that are appropriate for us to put online, the benefits of talking to the adults in their lives and the importance of strong passwords.

Framework

1.1 - Identity, Image and Reputation

  • talk about the impact that the digital content created can have, e.g. think critically about the information shared online; be aware of appropriate and inappropriate text, photographs and videos and the impact of sharing these online
  • explain why it is important to discuss their use of technology with an adult, e.g. discuss aspects of positive and negative reputation
  • create and use secure passwords, e.g. apply characteristics of strong passwords.

Vocabulary

data     information     images     videos     appropriate     share     discuss     numerical     characters     hacking       

The Citizenship strand is slightly different from the other three in that it focuses as much on information as it does on skills. There are also Online Safety year-by-year schemes of learning created by South West Grid for Learning on behalf of the Welsh Government which cover much of the Citizenship strand. This resource can be found on Hwb (link below)

We therefore restrict ourselves in the Citizenship strand to a few quick suggestions for activities, focusing on those few aspects of Citizenship not covered by the SWGfL schemes.

Activity Suggestions

What to share?

Discuss why oversharing can be a problem and explain how anything they share today will still be visible in 20 years time. Ask them to think what they would want their parents, their teacher, their future boss or future friends to be able to find out about them online. Ask the pupils to create a video for pupils their age explaining what types of things should be kept private and what is OK to share.

Discussing Internet use with Adults

Emphasise regularly (with pupils and parents) the importance of frank and honest discussions about online activities. Encourage pupils to discuss their online interests with their parents.
