It will look at age appropriate internet safety advice for young children including using the internet safely, communicating online, playing and learning online, getting help and support. During this webinar teachers will be introduced to the new HTML Heroes 1st and 2nd Class edition as a key online safety resource to use when introducing internet safety for this age group.

Designed for post-primary teachers who wish to explore the topic of media and information literacy in more depth. During this webinar teachers will learn how to help their students identify false information online and consider the role of social media in the spread of false information. Supported by expert input, the webinar will provide an understanding of the terms misinformation and disinformation, outline key issues and considerations for effective media literacy education. Teachers will also have an opportunity to explore lesson activities within the Webwise Connected resource.

Organisations including secondary schools and universities can now install the button on their website for free, allowing any user to make a report direct to Report Harmful Content. Legal but harmful material can make its way into all walks of life and quite often it’s difficult to know where to go to for help and support. Organisations can now actively direct their users to Report Harmful Content and help keep the spread of harmful material away from their users’ online experience.

This short video explains how to download and install the RHC button on organisation's website.
