e-safety / Fake News
As part of keeping children safe in education year 6 have been looking at e-safety, fake news and online scams.
Online Safety is being aware of the nature of the possible threats that you could encounter whilst engaging in activity through the Internet, these could be security threats, protecting and managing your personal data, online reputation management, and avoiding harmful or illegal content.
Fake News are news stories that are false: the story itself is fabricated, with no verifiable facts, sources or quotes. Sometimes these stories may be propaganda that is intentionally designed to mislead the reader, or may be designed as “clickbait” where the writer profits on the number of people who click on the story.
The aim of these lesson was to give children enough information and knowledge so they could help their parents, and more importantly grandparents, from falling for a scam.
