Parental Information Sheets - Becta|
Posted: 17th Jun 2010
The following are a number of Activity Cards produced by colleagues at Becta. Latest Parent Information From Orange|Taken from Orange Website: Like our other films, Safety Online & Incoming Message, this is designed to generate debate and discussion around the fears and concerns parents have about their children and their online behaviour. The film depicts children returning home from school, dropping their school bags and going straight to their rooms to go online. The resulting discussions from their parents are seemingly linked by a common concern about what their children may be up to. There are some positive messages about the internet as well as the negative so that the film has some balance. The call to action is for parents to download a copy of the Parents Guide (What Parents Need to Know) which as you know was re-launched in the summer.
