Did your perception of what issues were relevant to your class change? This could be from statements made or the marbles? Yes

In what way did your perception of the issues relevant to your class change? The class were incredibly honest about the experiences they have had online and about how they respond to things. We had some very interesting answers when we looked at the situation cards, and students considered how they would react.

Please describe your comfort level in delivering the more mature content within this kit I felt quite comfortable. We set ground rules before we started, as with any topic, and we only talked about the things relevant to the class. As the lessons went on, we introduced more info.

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? My class had a lot of previous knowledge about staying safe online and yet so many students do not follow it! Tik Tok was a prevailing topic when looking at our behaviours, with most of the class having accounts despite not being old enough. We also took

“This kit has been an amazing addition to class. It was so well put together and engaging. The students loved it! It fitted so well with a topic we had been doing and coincided nicely with a visit from the local community police about social media. It was really relevant and accessible for everyone, and provided a timely reminder for online behaviour and how we act. The kit generated lots of deep and thought provoking discussions!”

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? I was surprised multiple times. The thing that surprised me the most was how many students in my class (mostly 11 year olds) had had a story shared about them online. The discussion around this was very valuable for the whole class

“This school kit is a very topical one. Understanding the digital world and it's impacts is increasingly important for students. As a teacher this kit allowed me to initiate conversations that I wouldn't have known how to start and learn more about challenges that students face. All students in my class were engaged and able to participate in all activities.”

In what way did your perception of the issues relevant to your class change? Because I am their Dean as well as the class teacher I was quite aware of most issues but was concerned about the number who knew about things like for example Catfishing. I think my concern was more that their parents were probably unaware.

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? How honest they were at all times in all activities - or seemed to be at least I believe this kit was successful however even as were in the middle of using it issues would occur that were exactly like the issues covered in class that week, having sai

“Background: Our school is a BYOD school and we use a number of platforms at school and students are encouraged to use their devices in their home learning which with Lockdown was a blessing. Many year 7 and 8's who would not normally have been given them got given cell phones during lock down to keep in touch with their friends. On returning to school the number of social media bullying incidents we were dealing with grew exponentially. These issues came on to the school grounds and in to the classrooms impacting on relationships and learning programmes. Programme: I was thrilled to see the invite to take part in your programme ";Online, Offline, Keep it in line";. I could see the need. It was strange for me to follow a plan written by someone else. So much of my planning is co-constructed with the students or instigated by me so I found myself reading and rereading instructions over and over to be clear about processes and make sure I got it right! The hands on resources were helpful, instead of having to make things myself especially the ";Wise Response Decision Maker"; The activities were appropriate for my class = Year 7 and 8 composite I liked being able to choose the cards/contexts/content of the issues and in fact get the students to do the choosing I will continue with this programme in to 2021 as I keep half of my class and have a new half coming in For lots of reasons I did this unit in term 4 - not ideal I will use them again in the future but right from day 1 of the year”

“I have absolutely enjoyed teaching this content and learning so much about my students. The discussions were very honest with most participating.

“I really enjoyed this school kit. We had been having some social media issues at school in 3rd term so the timing of this kit was amazing. The content was relevant and challenging for the students, who engaged well with it. We especially enjoyed the section on the ring of Gyges and the challenging of current perceptions about why we behave the way we do.”

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? Their high level discussion and willingness to challenge each others' statements and debate ideas.

“What a fabulous school kit this is! It took me a little while to get to grips with the materials and how they are intended to be used, but once we started the learning and discussing process, it all became much clearer. The students were extremely engaged in what we were doing and it generated some high level discussion. I found I needed to amend some of the content and order of things to suit my Year 6 class, but overall, this was a excellent kit and I want to reuse the content to use again next year.”
