These four eSafety lessons and accompanying resources have been created for primary school pupils and their teachers. They are designed to be integrated into the Social, Personal and Health Education Programme. The class will have previously learned how to stay safe in real life, here they will explore how to stay safe on the Internet.
SPHE eSafety lessons:

Cyberbullying
Real friends & Online 'friends'
Detective Webwise
Each lesson is accompanied with easy to print classroom and take-home activities to help familiarise pupils with concepts such as personal safety online, the stranger danger message, respect for others, care with personal information and cyberbullying. The teacher could activate pupils' prior knowledge using the K-L-W technique; each topic will take an hour of class time which could be divided over a two day period.
