Today, in Jigsaw, Year 5 talked about social media sights and online communities and why people decide to join them. We then looked at some fake online communities and talked about which ones we would like to join and why. Some children said they would like to join a site called #Lolfunnyvids because they like to watch and post funny videos online and some children said they would like to join #Photoswapzzz because they like to chat with their friends by sending photos. The children were then given one of the fake social media sites and worked in groups to answer the following questions: Who would join this site? Why would people choose to join this site? What are the risks of joining this online community? and What responsibilities do members of this site have to make sure it is a safe and happy place?
