Did your perception of what issues were relevant to your class change? This could be from statements made or the marbles? No

In what way did your perception of the issues relevant to your class change? It was powerful for the students for them to see that they are not the only ones that are unsure or have been in a difficult situation. We also used Harald the Giraffe and their digital safety programme within this unit.

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? I thought they may see this unit as a 'telling off' for using different apps and programmes, but they were all genuinely interested. Some have written their end of year talk about their learnings from this. Some took on a challenge to promote digital safe

“This unit became a favourite topic at circle time and has been discussed throughout the year. Especially this year with lockdown.”

In what way did your perception of the issues relevant to your class change? I hadn't realised that a small number of children were approaching conflicts and online issues without having any real understanding of others feelings. Although this was a very small minority they consistently expressed the opposite emotion to a situatio

Please describe your comfort level in delivering the more mature content within this kit When I first opened it I had a little panic but I took it one step at a time and once I worked out that I was only doing the situation cards that were relevant to my year 5 and 6's I was quite comfortable.

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? My class are on far more social media and games that interact with strangers than I realised. They are connected to each other but don't see the implications of their behaviour online in the same way as offline. We have had several parents in to see us af

“I was really impressed with the kit. I am one of the school elearning leaders and I would love for more of our classes to tackle these discussions. I was surprised by the depth of discussion around the situation cards and feelings and it gave me valuable insights into the background beliefs that some of my students bring to the classroom. A fabulous kit - highly recommend to all Year 5-8 teachers!”

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? How many students actually have felt uncomfortable or uneasy/hurt due to online bullying and as a result haven’t wanted to come to school the next day!

“Excellent kit. Well worth every buy if time as I feel what information is included in this kit is so extremely important to be teaching with our Year 7/8 students.”

In what way did your perception of the issues relevant to your class change? I would hope that the children now realise the importance of telling someone they trusted about situations that make them feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Often they expressed that they didn't tell anyone. Also, I think that the students realised the importa

Please describe your comfort level in delivering the more mature content within this kit Because we teach Keeping ourselves safe, every other year it was easier to touch pretty delicate subjects. We carefully chose cards based on the children's needs and level of comfort too.

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? Several students are accessing material that is not age appropriate - with their parent consent (apparently). May are spending too much time on social media/ devices. It is a very relevant topic to discuss.

“The Safer Digital behaviours kit was really helpful as a method to raise issues around boundaries both online and offline. The students could relate to the scenarios and were encouraged to come up with reasonable responses to these. It was taught in conjunction with a Life Education unit around responding v reacting. The messages in both sessions were very complimentary. The children makde lots of connections.”

In what way did your perception of the issues relevant to your class change? Having taught this class for the past two years, I have had a finger on their online/inline pulse since the beginning. As they have 'matured' we have been able to discuss and grow as a class. It has been a gradual growth change for us all.

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? The very 'mature' attitudes/knowledge of a couple of my male students. Obviously parental monitoring is not a thing that is used at home.

“Extremely thought provoking with excellent discussion resulting. Major learning curve for some who were not quite so caring re others' feelings at the beginning of the unit.”

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? How much trouble they had making a decision using the 8 points of view.

“This was an interesting and well resourced unit to teach. I enjoyed the move away from right and wrong decision making to thinking about situations in a broader sense and with empathy. This challenged my students and I think allowed some to reconsider the process of decision making.”
