For teachers
Hector’s World™ is a valuable educational resource for use in the classroom. Its cybersafety messages are relevant to primary school age groups, particularly 5 – 7 year olds.
Age-based lesson plans and activity sheets for each of the episodes have been designed for use in the classroom. The learning objectives are consistent with the principles set out in the national Statements of Learning for Information Communications and Technology and Statements of Learning for Civics and Citizenship.
At a teacher’s or parent’s discretion the Hector’s World stories may also be used for children under 5 years of age and for older primary students aged above 8 years.
Suggestions for the classroom:
- view the Hector’s World episodes with the class
- use the lesson plans as a guide to enforce key learning objectives
- install the Hector’s World Safety Button™ on classroom computers
- encourage parents to install the Hector’s World Safety Button at home
- use the downloadable Hector’s World learning activities to enhance the learning experience
