Barefoot Computing launched live lessons exclusively to Northern Ireland schools on January 31st, with 15 classrooms participating in ‘Who does this belong to?’, a collaborative online safety lesson exploring ownership, permissions and the use of digital resources. 

Just ahead of #SaferInternetDay, 7 primary schools across NI played games together, investigating some ‘Dos and Don’ts’ when using technology, exploring how to keep things secure using locks and passwords, and problem solving how to make positive choices to stay safe online. Taking part in interactive activities and discussions, pupils developed logic and evaluation skills, sharing learning across the curriculum. Taughmonagh Primary in Belfast shared their feedback: 

“I learned to ask an adult if something pops up.” Charlotte 

“I learned I need to ask a parent if I want to play a different game.” Shivya 

“I loved it! I love learning in a different way.” Zara 

“some really good discussions came from the session!” Mr. Milligan 



If you missed out this time, don’t worry, Barefoot have scheduled a further 2 x live lessons for NI schools, with ‘Winter Warmers’ for EYFS on February 28th and ‘The Phisherman Game’ for KS2 on March 21st. Visit our website for further details and booking:
