Latest e-Safety news from SWGfL Cymraeg
|
Hello and welcome to our November edition,
With half-term behind us we are now looking forward to Christmas with all the excitement, and stress!, that it can sometimes bring.
This month is Anti-bullying month so we have some Cyberbullying resources for schools in Wales. We hope you have also seen our app competition for Safer Internet Day 2016 - calling young people aged 5-18 to create their own apps. But hurry as the deadline of 30 November is looming.
There is also lots of new information about Safer Internet Day and how you can get involved and support the day. We hope you find this issue informative. To share your feedback email us at esafety@swgfl.org.uk

Digital Literacy topic in November - cyberbullying
 Our Digital Literacy topic for November is Cyberbullying. As it is Anti-Bullying Week this month (16-20 Nov) we have created 4 playlists on Hwb that schools can use to have sessions around cyberbullying. These are based on the Digital Literacy Resource for Wales. There is an Introduction playlist, a Primary, a Secondary and one with resources for parents and carers. To find them search for 'cyberbullying' when logged into Hwb
