Students will be able to define cyberbullying, sexting and digital reputation and critically evaluate the social and legal implications of a range of negative online behaviours. Students will also analyse different ways in which they can exercise self-control and responsibility in managing relationships online.

The resource is based on an award-winning short film. Start by showing students this film alongside one or more of the follow-up interviews with the characters. 

A slide presentation can be used to explore the issues raised, and you can then select from a range of 10 to 30-minute activities, using the student resources and teacher notes provided. 

The activities can be delivered in any order, and in many cases there are a range of options for delivery. 

The length of the lesson will depend on the activities chosen.

You can also send your students the link to the student homepage and let them explore on their own.
