The session at Calderbridge covered the five main aspects of internet learning that support a child\u2019s media literacy.<\/p>\n

These are staying sharp about what you\u2019re sharing online; being alert to scams and misinformation; using tools to keep your devices secure; being kind with others online, and being brave by talking to trusted adults about problems.<\/p>\n

Diane Osborne, head teacher at Calderbridge Primary, said: \u201cAt Calderbridge Primary School, we are proud to be part of the Internet Legends programme, helping our pupils become safe, responsible, and confident digital citizens.<\/p>\n
