About. Here is a set of resources which will give you a good introduction to the subject of e-safety and which you can use to support your project. A short reflection exercise is included after each resource which will help you examine the issue specifically for Key Stage 1.

Pedagogical content. This course is designed to support you in carrying out a project in KS1 in an aspect of e-safety^(topic). It is supported by a range of resources and activities to provide ideas and stimuli for the project. You will plan, carry out and reflect on the project with the guidance of a facilitator and in discussion with others.

Resource details
Title	e-safety for Key stage 1
Topic	[[Topics/E-safety|E-safety]]
Teaching approach	[[Teaching Approaches/|]]
Learning Objectives	Professional and reflective practitioner skills At the completion of this course, you should be able to: identify areas within the curriculum where you can introduce e-safety learning activities, reflect on, and discuss, the impact on e-safety of the use of technology to support learning, select appropriate resources for the teaching of aspects of e-safety, , give advice on e-safety to pupils, fellow staff and parents, share your learning with others in your field, reflect on the importance of e-safety and how it fits into a whole-school approach to safeguarding. Practical skills At the completion of this course, you should be able to: use web 2.0 technologies, taking into consideration the risks to both children and adults in various online environments and applications, teach issues of e-safety in the classroom to KS1 students, access a range of e-safety education and awareness resources. Knowledge and understanding At the completion of this course, you should be able to demonstrate an understanding of: the range of e-safety risks which KS1 students could encounter, the issues involved in both preventing and responding to e-safety incidents including cyberbullying, the importance of anti-bullying, safeguarding and acceptable use policies (AUPs) and how to update these to include reference to e-safety risks and behaviour. Cognitive skills At the completion of this course, you should be able to: critically review various e-safety resources and approaches, compare these reviews with others, constructively critiquing others’ views, discuss different ways in which the school can develop a whole-school approach to e-safety including safeguarding and children’s use of technology at home.

Pedagogic Rationale

This course is designed to support you in carrying out a project in KS1 in an aspect of e-safety. It is supported by a range of resources and activities to provide ideas and stimuli for the project. You will plan, carry out and reflect on the project with the guidance of a facilitator and in discussion with others. The course applies a practitioner research model to look at how aspects of learning may be supported and enhanced through the use of technology. Your starting point is ‘a need’ within your practice, which you will investigate how to address. This will involve exploring how other people have already attempted to address a similar need in their practice (bringing in some practical examples of how particular technologies are used in schools), before you plan and implement their use in your school and reflect and discuss what worked and what needs further refinement. At the heart of your learning is a project that you will carry out in your teaching and learning setting. These materials are written assuming that you have signed up for a course, although they can be followed in self-study mode. Where you have signed up for a course you will be carrying out a project with similar focus to others, both in terms of the phase of education, technology and the curriculum. Throughout you have an opportunity to share experiences with other participants. Where you have signed up to use these materials as part of a course you will have a facilitator who will conduct tutorials and help support you in your learning and reflection.
