Clapham primary school visited by Google
Pupils attending a primary school in Clapham were given the opportunity to learn more about staying safe on the internet recently, when representatives from Google paid them a visit.
Employees of the tech giant were at St Bernadette Catholic Junior School as part of the company’s Be Internet Legends scheme that it runs with the Parent Zone internet safety organisation. This scheme targets kids aged 7 to 11, after research conducted by Google last year led the firm to conclude that teaching about safety online should start at an early age.
During its visit to the school, Google taught the kids its five main planks of online safety: be internet brave, kind, secure, alert and sharp. It also used the adventure game Interland to make finding out about these concepts more enjoyable.
The Be Internet Legends scheme offers schools a mix of training and teaching resources, assemblies, workshops and online platforms and is being used by more than 19,000 teachers in the UK. Print shops can often help with providing crucial teaching materials for local schools.
Speaking to the Wandsworth Guardian, Rosie Luff from Google said:
She also stated that the company was pleased to visit the school.
