Know IT All for Teachers
This is a resource aimed at helping teachers, trainee teachers and adults working with children understand and address the e-safety issues children are potentially at risk of exposure to. It was developed by Childnet International, with support from the TDA, Microsoft and Becta.
Know IT All for Teachers is based on research with academics and 400 trainee teachers from University of Southampton, Canterbury Christ Church University, Middlesex University and University of Brighton, e-safety training was recognised as a requirement for current trainee teachers, existing teachers and other adults working with children. The resource is aimed at the secondary sector and builds on the success of Know IT All for Parents which, in its first six months, was distributed by schools to some one million parents.
Know IT All for Teachers was officially launched on 10 December 2007.
