HTML Heroes is specifically designed to support primary school teachers when teaching students about the safe and responsible uses of the Internet. HTML Heroes will be taught as part of Social, Personal and Health Education (SPHE) curriculum in schools for children between the ages of 7 and 10.
The first part of the resource (Lessons 1-4) focuses on skills needed for browsing the web such as effective and safe searching, determining what online content can be trusted and managing screen time. It is appropriate to use with children who are learning to use the internet for schoolwork or for generally finding information. This section is followed by an assessment to determine if pupils have achieved the desired learning outcomes. A certificate is provided and may be awarded to successful pupils.
The second section deals with the skills required to safely and effectively communicate online (Chapters 5, 6, 7, and 8). It deals with issues relating to sharing personal information online, treating others with respect, and gaming online. Pupils can then complete the Chatwise assessment to complete the programme and receive a certificate.
