Our Netsmart Code of Practice

The Colleton NetSmart Code KS1 2014 – 2015

I’m NetSmart because:

I only use a computer when given permission by a teacher.

I only use websites that my teacher has agreed. I know that my teacher will check the websites I have visited.

I know that anything I write or draw on a computer will be seen by others.

I never write or draw anything that is rude or might embarrass or hurt others on a computer.

I understand that information on the Internet may not always be true. Web sites may be sponsored by advertisers.

I understand that copying text or images that belong to someone else may be illegal and will take care to respect and check copyright. I will ask an adult if I am not sure.

I will always keep my learning platform password secret and log off when I have finished. I will make sure no-one else can use my log-in.

I always give memory sticks or CDs from home to the teacher or ICT technician to be virus checked.

I follow the SMART code when using computers in school and at home. (attached to this NetSmart Code)

Be NetSmart and stay safe! 

Website I’m SMART with computers, mobile phones, i-pads, tablets & online gaming equipment (e.g. X Box, Nintendo etc)

S Keep Safe – I always keep my full name, address, phone number, e-mail address, passwords, school name and others’ full names secret from people I don’t know. Remember Stranger Danger.

M Don’t Meet Up – I never talk to strangers on a computer because I know it is dangerous and is the same as talking to strangers in a park – remember Stranger Danger.

A Accepting e-mails or pop ups can be dangerous – I always ask an adult first before I open an e-mail or click on a pop up window, as it might contain a virus or nasty message.

R Reliable?-I know that people online might not be who they say they are. Remember Stranger Danger.

T Tell Someone – I will always tell an adult if something or someone makes me feel uncomfortable or worried on a computer. I understand that saying or writing nasty things about others using a computer, a mobile phone or a chat room in a game is called cyber bullying and is the same as bullying someone in the real world.

Website The Colleton NetSmart Code KS2 2014 - 2015

I’m NetSmart because:

I only use agreed sites on the Internet when given permission by a teacher.

I know that anything I write or draw on a website or learning platform will be seen by others, and always make sure that it is proofread and spell-checked as carefully as possible. I never write or draw anything that is rude or might embarrass or hurt others on a website or learning platform.

I understand that information on the Internet may not always be reliable and may need to be checked from more than one source. Web sites may be sponsored by advertisers.

I understand that copying text or images that belong to someone else may be illegal and will take care to respect and check copyright.

I will not visit chat rooms on the school site. I know that my teacher and the Internet Service Provider will check the sites I have visited.

I will always keep my learning platform password secret and log off when I have finished. I will make sure no-one else can use my log-in.

I understand that I will not be able to use the Internet if I deliberately look at or create hyperlinks to unsuitable material – including websites with older age limits e.g. Facebook, YouTube

I will not access my own E-mail site on the school site. I always give memory sticks or CDs from home to the teacher or ICT technician to be virus checked.

I follow the SMART code when using computers in school and at home. Be NetSmart and stay safe! 

Website I’m SMART with computers, mobile phones, i-pads, tablets & online gaming equipment (e.g. X Box, Nintendo etc.)

S Keep Safe – I always keep my full name, address, mobile phone number, e-mail address, password, school name and other’s full names secret from people I don’t know. This means people on the internet can’t use this information to contact me or others. I never send this information or my or other people’s photo to anyone without checking with a parent, carer or teacher first.

M Don’t Meet Up – I never arrange to meet an online friend, no matter how well I think I know them, unless I have permission from my parent, carer or teacher.

A Accepting pop ups, e-mails, texts or calls from unknown numbers can be dangerous – I never open an e-mail or an attachment from someone I don’t know, or click on an unfamiliar pop up advert or message unless I have checked with a teacher, parent or carer first.

R Reliable?-I know that people online might not be who they say they are. Online games, chat rooms, message boards and social networking sites (e.g. Moshi Monsters, Club Penguin) are fun but they can be dangerous because I don’t always know who I am talking to. I will also always be myself online and will not pretend to be anyone or anything I am not.

T Tell Someone – I will always tell an adult if something or someone makes me feel uncomfortable or worried. I understand that saying or writing nasty things about others using a computer or mobile phone is called cyber bullying and is the same as bullying someone in the real world.
