Teachers' Guide
"Know IT All, is a multimedia interactive CDROM which presents the e-safety issues in a balanced positive and visually appealing way. It allows flexibility in both teaching and learning styles and I am confident that teachers and students who look at it, will learn something that they didn't know about internet and mobile safety"
Renaldo Lawrence St John the Baptist High School
KIA is based on Childnet’s experience of working in schools communicating Internet safety issues to both pupils and teachers and parents. In completing this resource we have written a comprehensive Teachers’ Guide for Know IT All which is available here. It is purposefully an online resource so that as the issues to do with Internet safety change so we can update the advice and links to further resources.
Microsoft have produced a set of Key Stage 3 lesson plans on Internet Safety that use the Know IT All modules "Prank or Pain" and "Friend or Foe". The lesson plans are available below, but you will need to visit www.youngpeoplesafeonline.com/lessonplans.asp to access the full range of resources that support them.
Year 7 - The Internet as a public space (115kb)
Year 8 - Downloading and copyright (116kb)
Year 9 - The identity of remote partners (130kb)
These lessons were developed by Neil Adam for Microsoft as part of the Young People Safe Online campaign www.youngpeoplesafeonline.com.
