At Park Primary e-safety is a very important part of Park life.
We asked the children to complete a survey of the technology they use at home to help us understand what devices they are aware of and how they use them. Please look below to see our findings.
- Across the school mobile phones were most popular way of using the internet.
- Ipads were quite common
- Nearly all children had internet access
- Internet is used most commonly in bedrooms and family rooms
- The most popular reason for using the internet was playing games (followed by finding information).
- Lots of children are using Skype
- Some popular website are on the next page. Websites linked to TV channels were quite popular (especially with the younger children).
Please find a downloadable copy of the presentation here.
