e-safety

Different searching research said that our children used more and more virtual social networks (EU Kids Online 2010). 59% of students have own profile in networks. In Estonia the students ages 10 -16 spend their time average 5 hours by day. This is the reason why our students had an idea to create interesting and useful e-safety games.

The project idea is to share e-safety knowledges from high school student to primary student through the different activities. The main purpose to teach smaller students behaver in cruel (if you don’t protect yourself) world, get to start of possibilities to get hurt. The project consist of three different e-safety games, made by students. The First game - How to use: 2 teams, both have own game boards (different color, 3D printed and consisted of geometric shapes). The team have to pick up the same colored shapes what  are located on the main floor board. The  Quiz created in GoogleForm and students would solve it in tablet. The game buttons - Bee-Bots, every right answer (give 3 BeeBots steps on the floor board.

Second game – AppInventor game, phone solving.

Third game – e-safety question in AnkiDroid. 

The new era students and teachers experience today and they are going to live in later, demand tolerance, solidarity, mutual undertanding and this is possible only when we get closer and knowing to each other.

When collaboration and work in synergy among 5 schools for 7 years is their new methodology of teaching, then they are always ‘hungry’ for ‘new stuff’ every year! So, we co-planned an alternative way with on-line and off-line activities for young pupils to know and love the target language through the realization of its importance and get joy of using effectively the ICT tools in order to achieve their little goals each time. Teachers supported children’s progress to higher stages aiming on each child’s language learning as it develops, and following his time needs.
