For many, online communications are just as significant as offline interactions and it is becoming increasingly important for students to have an understanding of how to behave appropriately, and be able to identify risks when socialising online. For example, while students may control what information they post, they can’t control what others may do with their information, which could be shared more widely, used out of context or copied without permission. These classroom activities encourage students to consider a range of scenarios that might occur in their online interactions and to formulate appropriate responses. Students are prompted to consider the feelings of others and to make positive choices in the online environment. Activity 1 introduces the topic and students are encouraged to share their thoughts on the positive aspects of socialising on the internet and the benefits offered by digital technologies. Activity 2 prompts students to think about decisions made in the online context. Teachers are given the option to choose one of three worksheet tasks best suited to the capabilities of their students. Worksheets 1a (Online Scenarios) and 1b (Set the Scene) provide scenarios that include both positive and negative online behaviours. Students are required to consider the consequences that may flow from these situations. Teacher’s Note: a sample response to Scenario 1 might discuss the reactions of the student referred to in the text (he or she might be hurt, embarrassed, sad, made to feel self-conscious). Teachers may also wish to discuss alternative or restorative actions that might be undertaken in relation to scenarios that have negative consequences (e.g apologising in person, posting something nice, thinking before posting anything negative about someone else). Worksheet 2 – Story Starters provides students the opportunity to create their own unfolding scenario about a range of online activities. Students are required to critically analyse the potential positive or negative consequences for each story. Worksheets 3a and 3b require students to respond to the scenario presented and record ‘plus’ and / or ‘minus’ consequences in the strip of information. The scenarios are deliberately brief and allow for students to inform the scenario with their own experiences. Activity 3 uses a cubing task designed to assist students to think about safe and responsible online behaviour from different angles using the six questions of what, who, when, where, why and how. Teachers may also choose to use other types of visual learning resources such as brainstorming and mind mapping apps to assist students to organise and analyse information and to think critically about cybersafety concepts. Prompt student thinking with one or more Cybersmart videos. Includes Worksheet 4a – Cubing Task Questions and Worksheet 4b – Cubing Task Handout. Activity 4 uses a digital storytelling tool to engage students. Students create a 30 second script that presents a positive message about ways to create a better internet together. Encourage 3 Online and Switched On students to think about strategies such as engaging on positive online communications, respecting others online, helping someone who is the target of cyberbullying behaviour, thinking before posting messages or uploading photographs. Teachers may use any number of freely available digital storytelling apps for this task. Other recording devices may also be used, such as an ipad. Teachers may wish students to view the Cybersmart Citizen’s Guide video for inspiration prior to commencing this task. Activity 5 asks students to share their thoughts on responsible and positive online behaviour.
