What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? The openness of discussions and the ability to explain their thoughts around safety. Even those that had little import and guidance from home had a good sense of how to keep themselves safe.

“The discussions around online and offline safety has become an every day discussion in class. Feedback from families around discussions at home has been positive. Children had an understanding of what was ok but when discussing this with caregivers and parents they discovered expectations were different.”

In what way did your perception of the issues relevant to your class change? I knew they faced a lot of drama online because I have to deal with it on a very regular basis. The perception of how they should handle it was eye opening. Many kids didn't really know what they should do.

Please describe your comfort level in delivering the more mature content within this kit Although some may have found the topics too mature, I think the kids deal with this level, if not worse, online. It was important to me that I was comfortable in my delivery so that the children didn't think they couldn't open up.

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? My class really enjoyed the discussions around the Ring of Invisibility and then the 8 different versions of the right thing to do. It took a lot of discussion to realise that doing the funniest reaction was not usually the best outcome. This surprised me

“This kit is awesome, and totally worth the time. It was very relevant to the issues faced by my class, and the activities were engaging and all different enough to stay engaging for the whole unit. My class particularly enjoyed the discussions around finding the wisest choice. They started with ";teacher pleasing"; responses, but always broke this down to what they would actually do in situations. It gave a huge insight into their thinking.”

In what way did your perception of the issues relevant to your class change? Marble activity gave good insight, would have been nice to have more examples of questions to ask the class.

“Well organised resource, however it would have been good to have some examples of some of the activities. I found it quite hard to follow. Especially how some planning and activities were on the guide and others were on the big hand out. Didn't understand the emotions activity.”

Please describe your comfort level in delivering the more mature content within this kit I would prefer to teach this kit in Term 2. I found that the content was too serious and in depth to be taught in Term 4. I didn't have time in Term 3 so kept it for Term 4. In hindsight I wish I taught it earlier. I've left it for another teacher to do n

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? Students are craving for their parents to set boundaries. Boundaries makes them feel loved and safe. This was discovered when talking about boundaries set when they were younger.

“This kit took a bit for me to get my head around. These were very difficult but important concepts for the students to understand. Some students who don't have a device went home asking for technology when they worked out how much technology played a part in the classes life so I don't think it had a positive impact in that way.”

In what way did your perception of the issues relevant to your class change? It was expected that students have found negativity online but I didn’t realise that 95% of the class at this age have social media! Their parents are blinded by the new crazes and now their caregivers are aware of what these sites do to young kids.

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? How honest they were about their interactions and experiences.

“We have finally finished this kit and wow... the students have exceeded my expectations and the learning outcomes of the kit. They have extended their learning to learning more about Digital Behaviours around the world; which leads to mental harm in young people today. They then explored the various non-profit organisations that help youth today with depression and mental problems due to social media and digital relationships. All in all, I’m grateful that this kit is timely - from the lockdowns and the online learning going on, the students reflected and gave honest opinions about how they behave online.”
