The purpose of this toolkit is to help educators generate discussion among young people about their online experiences. Using the short films as a spring board, the toolkit covers relevant topics such as cyberbullying, sexting, peer pressure and self-esteem.
Through discussion and activities, this toolkit challenges young people to not only reflect on their own behaviour online and discover what ‘crosses the line’ for them, but so they also know who to report to and how to do this when/if aspects of their online lives worry them.
This toolkit is primarily to be used with young people aged 11-14 year old. All activities have been reviewed by teachers of 7-11 year olds and activities which have been deemed appropriate for use with this age range have been starred throughout. We recommend that you check activities and film content in advance to ensure they are appropriate for your year group, setting and wider community. The films have also been rated by the BBFC but we advise you watch the films in advance to ensure their suitability for the young people you are working with.
