E-safety discussion from books



In Sally Nicholls' 'An Island of Our Own', the main character needs to find a treasure that her aunt has hidden. To gather some information, she shares some personal information on her blog, including her full name, age and the name of her siblings so that people can get in touch with her if they know anything relevant to her search.

Students can be asked about the dangers of sharing such personal information, and the importance of e-safety can be discussed.
- Is it a good idea to put your full name and age on a website that anyone in the world can read?
- Why is this dangerous? What might happen?
- How else can she safely contact people and find information to aid her search?
