The Pre Primary students made posters and pledged to maintain a safe online world. The children were also shown a puppet show based on the theme.
The students of classes I and 2 were shown videos to demonstrate ways in which internet can be used safely. Taking a step ahead, the students wrote doen five internet safety tips to reinforce awareness.
The students of class 3 were also shown videos which taught various safety tips which can be followed while using the internet. A discussion using various scenarios of information theft was conducted and safety tips regarding this were shared.
The students of class 4 used the tagline, “Together for a Better Internet” for their posters, mentioning the objectives of using technology safely, respectfully and responsibly.
