Jules Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 Have a listen to this podcast conversation, when Ben and Jules chatted with Hannah Clifford, founder of Seren Kids, which provides children and adults with digital skills and e-safety knowledge. Hannah shared lots of ideas about how to talk with children about e-safety, and to promote a healthy and positive relationship with technology. This is Hannah’s website: https://serenkids.com/educators And on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theserenkids/ Hannah says she regularly adds resources on her socials. She has just recently created a reel on what is AI and is happy to send the file to teachers if they get in touch. Bitesize short content works well for kids engagement and learning. Keep an eye on Hannah’s twitter and website as she is currently in the process of developing online CPD courses for teachers and trainee teachers, and Seren Kids own animated video series for teachers to use in class. And Hannah has kindly provided us with loads of links to information and resources, some of which were mentioned in the podcast discussion: E-safety EYFS/KS1: https://www.childnet.com/resources/digiduck-stories/ (E-safety stories) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-rNPxSak0Y (E-safety stories) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEzgIcxZohA (Digiduck with BSL) https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/4_7/ E-Safety for KS2: https://www.netsmartzkids.org/ https://beinternetawesome.withgoogle.com/en_uk/interland https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/8_10/ https://education.minecraft.net/en-us/blog/cybersafe (kids particularly love this) General coding and robotics resources Mecha Dragon Robot (this is cheap but fantastic, and the app you download to go with it allows you to code it, but also has a bonus coding game) Learning Resources Botley The Coding Robot Activity Set Learning Resources Botley The Coding Robot 2.0 Activity Set - 46 Pieces Sphero indi Classroom Pack Kano Star Wars The Force Coding Kit Kano Disney Frozen 2 Coding Kit CODING WITH MINECRAFT How to Program a Jam Sandwich making Robot (sandwich making game where the pupils have to code the teacher/adult to make a sandwich, you can get creative with this and make obstacle courses and put children in pairs and they have to code each other through the obstacle course.
