In our second session of ICT we talked about the importance of e-safety. With technology being so important now-a-days, and how frequently children use the internet; e-safety is becoming a bigger issue than it was in the past.

It shocked me that we have to start teaching children about how to be safe on computers from such a young age. I had thought that you would have to start teaching children about this in Year 5 or Year 6 not at Key Stage 1. Before the session, I was a bit unsure about how to address this issue with young children, however during the lesson we talked about how to warn children the dangers of the internet and discovered that there are specific websites that can help you.

I think that it is important to teach children about the dangers of the internet but also how to deal with issues that may happen, for example talking to someone and knowing the right person to talk to.
