I have embedded the videos using YouTube which might be blocked on your school network. You may wish to download them using a YouTube downloader such as Zamzar.

Here are three Facebook Online E-Safety Videos posted by @ictmagic. I would suggest these E-Safety videos would be suitable for year 6 children, perhaps during work preparing them for transition to secondary school. You may want to use these videos as a starting point for a discussion. I would recommend that you watch them yourself first!

Chapter 1 - Friend Requests

Chapter 2 - Looking after your online status

Chapter 3- Online Bullying

Progression in Internet Research

If I had a penny for every time I observed an ICT lesson which was based around internet research I would be a very rich man. However, in the many internet research lessons I have observed, few (if any) have taught the children how to use an internet search engine effectively and more importantly safely. Even fewer have taught the children how to discriminate between information sources. Researching using the internet is something that every child should be taught to do in order to develop effective life long learning skills.
