New Learn Guide Protect framework from Netsafe

NetSafe has launched a new student centered digital citizenship frame-work entitled Learn: Guide: Protect: (LGP). The frame-work supports schools in creating a culture of responsible, safe use of digital technologies. It provides clear links to the New Zealand Curriculum starting with a definition of ' a digital citizen' based on the NZC values and key competencies.

Learn: Guide: Protect: has three components or layers:

  • Learn: the skills students learn to keep themselves safe,
  • Guide: the guidance they need from educators to learn how to manage challenges,
  • Protect: the protective mechanisms schools can use to improve their immediate safety.

You can learn more about the frame-work here. The LGP frame-work has a companion website www.mylgp.org.nz, The site is a central hub of content, suggestions and ideas contributed by New Zealand educators and NetSafe. Teachers can use the content to build a customized school based professional development programme for staff or a digital citizenship education programme for students.
