Fit for the InternetNew "Genial Digital" offer
The child-friendly digital offer "Genial digital" deals with the use of search engines, digital games and social networks. It also covers topics such as respectful communication, responsible use of data and recognizing fake news. Children can playfully test their knowledge using interactive learning modules and solve tasks with the help of multimedia content.
The individual modules can be used intuitively and independently by children. Educational embedding is also possible. Like the "Genial Digital" magazine, all modules are aimed at children aged eight to eleven and are therefore suitable for use in both elementary school and after-school care centers. But parentscan also find tips and suggestions on how to help their children get online.
The offer was presented by Deutsches Kinderhilfswerk at the start of the new school year. It was created in collaboration with the Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle Multimedia-Diensteanbieter (FSM) and the children's search engine fragFINN.de. These organizations have been working together in the field of media literacy education since 2017. With "Genial digital" they were additionally supported by O2 Telefónica.
klicksafe materials for use in elementary school
The material "Through the year with klicksafe - 12 units of media education for elementary school" offers suggestions for teaching media skills for an entire school year. Completed units and four additional projects make it possible to design age-appropriate media education lessons for grades two to six. To enable you to plan your lessons efficiently, all units are clearly structured and can be implemented quickly. The aim of the 12 units is to raise pupils' awareness of the risks and opportunities associated with their use so that they can act more confidently and safely online.
The new leaflet "Media-safe at school" offers parents of primary school children practical tips and advice on how they can make their children's media consumption age-appropriate and safe. Frequently asked questions from parents are answered in a compact format. The leaflet is also available in Turkish, Arabic and Russian.
