UPC and Webwise have launched a new e-safety activity booklet, Play and Learn: Being Online, aimed at 4-8 year olds using the Internet. The launch marks the arrival of Safer Internet Day on 8 February.
The pan-European campaign in conjunction with the NCTE, focusing on promoting safe and responsible use of the internet and provides an introduction on how technology can impact the daily lives of 4-8 year olds while keeping them safe online.
The booklet’s 30-page collection of games and activities enables and encourages parents and teachers to discuss important topics such as privacy, security and data protection. Available in 9 languages, the booklet’s activities also help develop basic language, maths, social and cultural skills.
Play and Learn: Being Online has been developed by Webwise with the support of UPC and is endorsed by the European Commission.
The new booklet is part of a family of Internet safety tools, developed in the past years. Last year Webwise and UPC launched an e-safety website, (www.esafetykit.net), based on a printed ‘family toolkit’.
The family toolkit consists of a comprehensive parent’s guide, an activity-based guidebook designed specifically for children between 6-12 years old, stickers, a family certificate and situation cards.
Safer Internet Day is a yearly event celebrated in over 60 countries in the month of February and organised by INSAFE. www.saferinternet.org
