Swoosh, Glide and Rule Number 5
Have you seen the eSafety’s online safety picture book Swoosh, Glide and Rule Number 5? It tells the adventures of a fun family sleepover for Swoosh and Glide with their sugar glider cousins. The picture book shares some of the common technology experiences of children, shows what to do when something unexpected happens on a screen and highlights safe online practices for the whole family.
The following link will take you to the online version of the story read by Jimmy Rees.
