Finding My Media Balance - Media Balance and Wellbeing
Helping children learn what makes different media choices healthy or not is a good start. But how do we help them actually make responsible choices in the real world? Give your learners the opportunity to create a personalised media plan.
Beyond Gender Stereotypes: Digital Footprint and Identity
Children and young people encounter all kinds of stereotypes in the media. But are they always aware of what they're seeing? Help your learners think critically about how gender stereotypes can affect the ways they view themselves and others.
Is it Cyberbullying? Cyberbullying, Digital Drama and Hate Speech
Let's face it, some online spaces can be full of negative, rude or downright mean behaviour. But what counts as cyberbullying? Help your learners understand what is -- and what isn't -- cyberbullying and give them the tools they'll need to combat the problem.
You wont believe this! Privicy and Security
The internet is full of catchy headlines and outrageous images, all to make us curious and get our attention. But children and young people don't always realise: What you click on isn't always what you get. Show your learners the best ways to avoid clickbait online.
Digital Friendships: Relationships and Communication
Children and young people make friends everywhere they go, including online. But are all of these friendships the same? How can children and young people start online friendships and also learn ways to stay safe? Help your learners understand both the benefits and the risks of online-only friendships.
Reading News Online - News and Media Literacy
Children and young people find and read news in lots of different ways. But studies show they're not very good at interpreting what they see. How can we help them get better? Teaching your learners about the structure of online news articles is an important place to start.
