In what way did your perception of the issues relevant to your class change? 6 students thought it was okay to go to the building site their parents had banned- this just blew my mind. It makes me wonder what they are really doing online. 5 students thought it was okay to create a private group to talk about their classmates- ev

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? They absolutety loved using philosophy in order to discusss big ideas. They were totally honest in their choices- they could back up their thinking with good reasons.

“I really struggled to get my head around this unit of work as it was very different from anything I have taught before. I spent a lot of time trying to unpack the many different sessions and the new ideas myself. We spent weeks on this and I ended up teaching it first thing as they needed to be 'fresh'. It challenged my way of teaching and the students loved the discussions. Most importanly I learnt not to pass judgement on a student's decision but rather let them decide for themselves in their own way and time. Rethinking thinking was very powerful in my class- we linked this to our prior knowledge on react vs respond. I have some very good photos from our sessions- students responses and ideas.”

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? These resources were so versatile and we used them for other units other than our one on digital citizenship.

“Wonderful kit, the resources were very versatile and we were able to use these for so many other concepts other than just those covered within our digital citizenship unit. Students enjoyed the activities especially because the resources were so up to date and relevant to students. Thank you.”

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? They were quite mature when discussing some of the more 'adult' topics.

“I found the plan quite hard to follow - not clear what resources were what and it was quite vague. It didn't really motivate me to teach it to be honest despite looking really exciting.”

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? That many of the children didn't understand what the rating for games, videos and tv shows meant. We had to dicuss this in dpeth.

“I really enjoyed this topic because I think that many children who have access to devices and the internet aren't always aware of how to aapproach difficult situations online. This was very relevant and useful to implement in the classroom. I would like to use this again but earlier in the year.”

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? The amount of empathy and understanding around behaviours online.

“I found this kit to be a little difficult to follow - this may have been as I've only used school kits designed for Y3/4. I always appreciate all the work that goes into these kits and will forever support school kit.”

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? How quiet they were! The sharing was harder than I thought to begin with. Using the cards allowed them to discuss without implicating themselves in anything.

“This was a challenging but brilliant kit. My class were very quiet (yr7-9) when it came to discussing their online behaviours. I think they were concerned they might be judged. No one admitted to getting into difficult sites or situations. However, the situation cards did bring on some good discussions regarding online and offline behaviour. Making the distinction between the two was a good conversation enjoyed by all. The game with the emotions was enjoyed by all and resulted in some heated debates.”

In what way did your perception of the issues relevant to your class change? There was a much larger group than I expected who appear to have no limits or restrictions when online at home.

“This kit was an excellent follow on for us from some year group sessions with John Parsons. There were many discussions where children were able to relate content and ideas to both learning experiences. The content was relevant to the year level. The use of offline and online activities was an excellent way to make comparisons about expectations and behaviours. It gave us something to come back to regularly. An excellent kit - I plan to reuse some of the components.”

In what way did your perception of the issues relevant to your class change? I was fairly spot on with my assumptions - I have some very mature Y8s and very young Y7s. So I think the variety of resources and scenarios engaged everybody at some level. The marbles were great and very interesting!

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? No so much surprised but they found it interesting how the same situations can evoke different feelings in different people. The idea that people respond differently - don't assume everyone thinks the same as you.

“Some great ideas and resources for covering safer digital behaviours. Loved the marbles for getting everyone involved and thinking. The boundary sheets were great hands on activities as were the scenario cards. Promoted lots of discussion. I would definitely use again, but would like more actual follow up activities for the students to ";do"; and to engage them more.”
