Your Rings of Responsibility - Media Balance and Wellbeing
Teaching digital citizenship is all about helping children think beyond themselves and recognise the ripple effects of their actions. Personal responsibility is important, but understanding their responsibilities to others can help children unlock new ways to learn and connect with their communities -- and even change those communities for the better.
This is Me - Digital Footprint and Identity
From selfies to social media, many of us create unique online identities for ourselves, and our learners are no different. But do children always understand how others might perceive what they post?
Help your learners think critically about the online identities they're creating.
The Power of Words: Cyberbullying and Hate Speech
As children grow, they'll naturally start to communicate more online. But some of what they see could make them feel hurt, sad, angry or even fearful.
Help your learners build empathy for others and learn strategies to use when confronted with cyberbullying.
Password Power up - Privicy and Security
Stronger, more secure online passwords are a good idea for everyone. But how can we help children create better passwords and actually remember them? Use the tips in this lesson to help children make passwords that are both secure and memorable.
Our Digital Citizenship Pledge: Relationship and communication
Belonging to various communities is important for children's development. But some online communities can be healthier than others.
Show your learners how they can strengthen both online and in-person communities by creating norms that everyone pledges to uphold.
Seeing is believing—news and Media Literacy
The web is full of photos, and even videos, that are digitally altered. And it's often hard to tell the difference between what's real and what's fake.
Help your learners ask critical questions about why someone might alter a photo or video in the first place.
