The Switched On programme has been developed to assist and support educators when teaching primary pupils aged 10 - 13 years old how to be safe, responsible and competent digital citizens.
The Switched On programme will raise pupils’ awareness of how they can be active digital citizens in a variety of digital-related activity – whether it be creating or publishing content, socialising, learning, researching or playing games.
Through the programme pupils will explore key topics such as recognising misinformation and disinformation, staying secure online, managing screen time, and protecting personal information and privacy.
The Switched On programme has two key elements: an online learning platform with interactive module activities, and a teacher handbook providing step-by-step guidance for each activity.
The online platform includes:
- An introduction lesson
- Eight core modules
- A programme reflection lesson
It is available in English and as Gaeilge.
Switched on: a digital citizenship education programme for the fifth and sixth class (primary) was developed in collaboration with and supported by Coimisiún na Meán. Learn more and access the programme at webwise.ie/switchedon
