A thorough and age appropriate E-Safety curriculum is delivered to all pupils at RAAS. This is to teach the children how to stay safe when using computing technology in school or at home.
This learning is delivered throughout each new computing topic and is woven through the curriculum in computing and PSHE. This is to ensure that children are given constant teaching of the importance of remaining safe online. We also highlight online safety issues and how to be a good Digital Citizen through Assemblies and Tutor Activities.
Additional information for parents about how to keep children safe online can be found on the website links below.
Understanding AI for Educators - Better Internet for Kids
Over the past year AI and its potential impact on education has taken a back seat, as the shockwave from the release of Chat GPT has faded into a past controversy. But contrary to what this pause in discussion may lead one to believe, AI has actually become more sophisticated than ever. From increasingly realistic AI generated photographs, to real photographs modified by AI all the way to AI enabled voice cloning. Everywhere you look AI lurks with another unforeseen usage. This brings new vulnerabilities and new risks to young people and children. Better Internet for Kids, has recently published an article laying out the ins and outs of AI and the impact its continued development, is having on children.
