Digital Citizenship

Share or Beware is a game all about deception and learning how to think more critically about the information that we come across. Use it as an educational game in schools or as a fun game between friends. This game aims to be used by teachers to teach #criticalthinking and #MediaInformationLiteracy to high school students. 


It is a free-to-download online role-playing game that was co-designed among Habi Education Lag, Academy of Political Management Batch 8, FES Philippines, CYAN Pilipinas, and Out of The Box!


Working in partnership with experts from across the Asia Pacific region, Digital Tayo provides accessible learning modules and resources to build skills for a digital world. 

Developed in collaboration with experts, academics, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and civil society organizations across Asia Pacific, our resources are designed to foster responsible citizenship.


To educate the youth on digital citizenship and the responsible use of technology, Globe Telecom joined forces with Optus and Singtel in launching the Digital Thumbprint Program (DTP) in 2016.  The program was eventually integrated by the Department of Education (DepEd) in the K-12 curriculum to bolster DepEd’s existing modules around digital literacy.


DTP is a series of workshops patterned after the Optus Digital Thumbprint in-school program in Australia. Each module aims to increase students’ knowledge of digital citizenship and cybersafety by taking a critical look at their online behavior and helping them develop insights into the influences of the online world and the choices they are making.
