Using this resource

Students will learn some of the basic skills for being safe and secure online, including why it is essential to Ask, Check and Think before acting in the digital world. They will find out why it’s important to keep their devices safe and their personal information and location private.

The Act eSafe video and interactive Be Secure kids’ quiz can be used as standalone resources, or with activities from the lesson plan. 

The video and quiz are hosted on the Be Secure student home page at esafety.gov.au/be-secure. A certificate to hand out to students so they can add a badge as they complete each of the four quiz modules can be downloaded from this page.
