Basic IT course
Why use email, how to use email
Using Google – beyond finding videos
Social Media
Internet security
- Understanding misinformation / disinformation
- Personal and Private Information
- Protecting yourself
Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying – do you know
Girls suffer from cyberbullying than boys
- Spiteful comment – you’re fat/ugly, have acne
- Sharing, spreading lies about someone else
- Cyberstalking
- Sexual harassment / exploitation
When serious, the impact will be
- They will have low self-esteem
- They are likely to get lower grades at school
- Likely to cause stress or anxiety
- Likely to be unhappy at home or at school
The need – to educate girls and boys, and how to respond if it occurs.
