Safer Internet Day 2015 - New Resources and Links
10th February 2015 saw schools and settings throughout Kent and beyond celebrate Safer Internet Day. Events included special whole school assemblies, pupil surveys, talks for parents, competitions, digital pledges, DigiDuck story time sessions, classroom activities, Lync (video conferencing) sessions, pupil led assemblies by e-Safety champions, and more! To celebrate all of the wonderful new content created specially for Safer Internet Day 2015 I've collated a list of new and updated resources and links and this post will be updated throughout the week.
