The lessons and activities in this section help young people use technology to promote their health and digital wellbeing. Core skills include: managing stress and other emotions, developing resilience and recognizing healthy relationships.
INDIVIDUAL LESSONS
Each lesson includes a script, educator materials and student materials.
Who Do You Want to Be
Students will examine how their online identity and the content they create and share are related to their goals (e.g., career-related and academic interests they would like to pursue).
Social Media and Sharing
Students will think about social media privacy and how they share information and communicate with others online.
Online Reputation
Students will consider how publicly available online information helps form others’ opinions about them.
Online Presence
Students will be able to identify one type of personal information they can manage online, one form of information they can’t totally control online, and one thing they can do about some aspect of their personal information online not directly controlled by them.
Different Perspective
Students will examine the role of perspective when evaluating information linked to their online presence or the online presence of others. They will gain awareness of the relevant contextual factors (e.g., time, cultural, social and local/regional/global) that impact one’s online presence.
A Time I felt grateful
Students will define gratitude, give an example of a time they felt grateful and understand that there are many types of things we can feel grateful for.
A Moment for Me
Students will compare and contrast the ways they respond to a close friend in distress (versus themselves) and consider how they might adjust what they say to themselves when they are struggling.
