Computing at Avondale
National Curriculum
Use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour; identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact.
Understand that anything uploaded to the Internet may be shared or downloaded by others, including text, photos and videos.
Discuss a series of scenarios with the children, asking whether they would post them online or print them out to be added to a public notice board. Scenarios may include eg. holiday photos; home address and phone number; favourite films and TV shows; selfies; rocognise that although some sites may promise to protect their content, they can never be 100% sure.
Pupils should have a clear understanding of the school policies and procedures around reporting concerns about content and contact online.
They should understand that when posting information on some websites it is possible for them to be copied, captured and stored by others.
Why do we use avatars and what does my avatar say about me?
Avatars can help us to keep safe online. Having a photograph of ourselves online could give clues about our identity. We should always ask for permission before posting pictures of someone online.
These are some of our avatars. What does your avatar say about you?

Communicating Online
One way to communicate online is through a blog, we must remember to always be polite and respectful when commenting on other people's posts online. If someone ever makes a comment that upsets you, make sure you talk to an adult or teacher about it.
