Activity 3: "Think Before You Post"
Location Clue: Look for a place where you might store something
private or important. (e.g., a desk drawer or the teacher’s cabinet)
-
Lesson: Once something is posted online, it’s hard to take it back.
-
Activity: In groups, give each team a list of different things that people post online (e.g., pictures of family, addresses, personal opinions). They need to decide if each is safe to post or not safe to post by placing them in two piles.
-
Discussion: Why should we think carefully before sharing personal information online? Talk about online bullying, mental health and its negative impacts.
Activity 4: "The Kindness Wave"
Location Clue: Find a place in the room that makes you feel safe and happy. (e.g., a reading nook or comfy area)
-
Lesson: Being kind online is as important as being kind in real life.
-
Activity: Create a “Kindness Wave”: One student starts by saying something kind about someone else in the group, then that person says something kind about another, and so on, until everyone has shared.
-
Discussion: How can we be kind and supportive online? What should we do if we think we’re being bullied on social media? Here are some tips. Remember, disagreement isn’t bullying. It’s ok to have a different opinion on a subject.
Activity 5: Is It Real?
Location Clue: Go to the place where you find the most facts in the classroom. (e.g., the bookshelf or computer)
-
Lesson: Not everything you see online is true. People often only share the best parts of their lives. Or some information might be fake, especially with the emergence of Artificial Intelligence and Bots. (Click on the links to find out more)
-
Activity: Show the students two printed pictures or stories—one real and one fake. In groups, they have to guess which one is true and which is false. (Refer to the worksheet below.)
-
Discussion: How can we tell if something online is real or fake? Why is it important to think before we believe everything we see on social media? Fact Check!
Idea: Think about some AI generated images or fake news that you’ve seen online and share it with the class. The discussion can help everyone understand
