On the 10th Feb. Digital Birmingham is took part in Safer Internet Day.

What we did

For Schools:

We invited Ed Gibson, Chief Cyber Security Adviser to Microsoft and ex FBI special agent to give a talk to students at Sheldon Heath Community Arts College.

Following the talk, some of the students at Sheldon Heath School asked Ed some questions around online safety as well as reviewing some of the e-safety online resources and videos available from CEOP (Thinkuknow) to help keep them safe online.

At St.John Wall Catholic School in Handsworth, some of the students did video interviews with their peers to find out more about their online habits and activities and their views on internet safety.
