Our Guide to eSafety and Kindness 🌟

Hi, team! 👋 Welcome to our guide for staying safe and working well together on our project. Let’s make this space fun, creative, and respectful for everyone!

Respecting the eTwinning Code of Conduct 🤝

We are part of eTwinning, a special platform where students and teachers from different countries collaborate. To make our project amazing, we follow these important rules:

• Be respectful: Treat others the way you want to be treated.
• Work as a team: Share ideas, listen to others, and help each other succeed.
• Stay positive: Use kind and encouraging words with your teammates.
• Protect privacy: Never share personal information about yourself or others.
• Be fair: Don’t copy other people’s work. If you use someone’s idea, make sure to give them credit.

By following these rules, we’ll build trust and create something truly special together! 🌈

Getting Permission First 📝

• Before sharing photos, videos, or anything we make, we need to make sure our parents have said it’s okay.
• Our teachers have already checked with our parents, so we know what’s allowed to share.

Respecting Privacy 🕵️‍♀️

• Never share personal information like your home address, phone number, or full name.
• If you’re unsure about sharing something, always ask your teacher first!

Using Kind Words 💬

• Be polite and kind when talking to others online.
• Treat everyone with respect and kindness.
• If you see something unkind, tell your teacher right away so they can help.

Sharing Our Work 🎨

• We’ll add special licenses, like Creative Commons, to our work. These licenses show others how they can use what we create.
• We’ll also learn about copyright, public domain, and how to give credit when using other people’s ideas or images.

Finding Free Images 🖼️

• We’ll use safe places to find images, like:
  • Google advanced search
  • Free sources
  • Creative Commons
• Always check if you’re allowed to use the image before adding it to your work!

Staying Safe in Live Sessions 🎥

• Teachers may take pictures or record videos during live sessions, but only if they have permission from our parents.
• Keep your camera on only when the teacher says it’s safe to do so.

Being a Digital Superhero 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

• Follow these eSafety rules to keep yourself and your friends safe.
• If something doesn’t feel right or you see something strange online, tell an adult right away.

By following these tips and respecting each other, we’ll create a safe, kind, and inspiring space where everyone can share ideas and work together. Let’s make this project the best it can be! 🌟💡
