CCEA website for eSafety and well-being

The CCEA is a non-departmental public body (NDPB) funded by and responsible to the Department of Education (DE) in Northern Ireland and their website provides many different learning resources for pupils from Pre-School age (3-4) up to Post-16 in relation to this.
Below is an extract from their website:
Central to our curriculum is its aim to equip our young people to make informed and responsible choices and decisions throughout their lives, and we see eSafety as an important aspect of this. It’s not just about the technology, but also core concepts of personal safety, of showing respect for others and of critical discrimination.
Also, the Wellbeing Hub shows how the Northern Ireland Curriculum promotes the learning and development of skills that support pupils’ wellbeing and mental health. It also supports the Emotional Health and Wellbeing Framework for Children and Young People in Education that’s being developed collaboratively by the Departments of Education and Health, the Public Health Agency, the Health and Social Care Board, and the Education
Authority (EA).

E-safety for schools

The NSPCC learning website has a diverse range of resources to promote, raise awareness and educate teachers, children and parents about keeping children safe, but there is a specific area of the website for schools and colleges for teachers to teach specifically about online safety.
See description from website below:
Our information and resources will help you to:
– create e-safety policies and procedures that will help you mitigate risk and respond to concerns
– ensure teachers have the knowledge to teach students about e-safety
– provide advice on using social media and live streaming
– support and include parents and carers by sharing helpful advice and resources
– review and update your e-safety provision on an ongoing basis.

  • In 2013, Code.org was launched by twin brothers Hadi and Ali Partovi with a video promoting computer science. This video became #1 on YouTube for a day, and 15,000 schools reached out to us for help. Since then, we've expanded from a bootstrapped staff of volunteers to build a full organization supporting a worldwide movement

Resources from Data Smart

These resources come from an existing research project and a brief description of this can
be found below taken from their website.
There are three different types of resources used as a package. They can facilitate
educational scenarios and are used for student workshops (three workshops with each
taking around 90–100 minutes to complete).
An instructional guide for pre-teens, educators and families that contains material to
support them with developing data literacies.
PowerPoint presentations for the workshops.
An open access app for Android and iOS systems (you need to contact the research team
for a code).
“Developing Personal Data Literacies in Pre-Teens” is a research project funded by the
National Agency for Research and Innovation (ANII) and Fundación Ceibal. Working with
children (aged 8-12 years) in Uruguay and Australia, the aim of the program is to develop
understanding of personal data so they can better manage and protect their privacy online.
The children used an educational social media application (‘app’), FriendSend, for a period of three weeks and participated in a series of workshops designed to build these young users’ knowledge of the technical features of social media platforms and how personal data are produced and processed as a consequence of use. The Data Smart Kids program was developed in collaboration with students and teachers at participating schools through an iterative design process. We worked with Uruguayan and Australian preteens, with the aim of carrying out a study with comparative aspects, exploring how preteens’ students understand and relate to social networks and the way in which their personal data is produced and processed during their use”
