I found today’s lecture really interesting, I knew that e-safety was a pressing issue but was unaware that the government, in recent years, had taken such steps to address the problem by including e-safety in the National Curriculum.

I researched ‘using social networking responsibly’ with my group and we identified several benefits of social networking, but also the risks and ways a teacher could educate pupils on how to avoid them. These included being wary of who you’re providing your personal information to online and keeping to sites that are age appropriate.

We presented our research in a presentation made using the SMART application and I felt like this gave me further experience in using the software of an interactive whiteboard.
