We use the internet in lots of different ways.
We use the internet to find things out, and to learn new things. Sometimes, we are told where to look for information. We might go to a particular website, or we might visit bwjsapps, our online collection of tools. On bwjsapps, we can find activities and information provided by our teachers. This helps us learn more about the work we are doing in school.
We can also use the internet to communicate with others. In school, we can do this through bwjsapps. In bwjsapps, we can take part in discussions and chats with other people. We can also send each other private messages.
When we are online, we need to treat each other like we would face to face. We need to remember this rule if we use other methods of online communicate outside school.
We can also use the internet to have fun. On the internet, we can look at pictures, watch videos, listen to music, and play games. We can do some of these things on Wizkid, but there are lots of other websites we can visit as well.
The internet is a fantastic resource for enquiry, communication and fun. Sometimes, however, the internet can get in the way of these things. We need to remember these simple rules so that our use of the internet isn’t spoiled.
Every year, we talk through issues of E-Safety with our children, and we ask them to sign our Internet Acceptable Use policy. This policy can be read here. A fuller version which covers more general ICT use can be read here.
We also have a comprehensive E-Safety policy in place which covers all aspects of the topic. This can be read here.
If you want to know more about social media, we have a guide which you can download here.
