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? I assumed the kids were a lot more naive or thoughtless about their online activity than they really were. Although a few kids were very 'silly' online, many students were aware of the permanence of content on the internet, and the importance of privacy.

Please describe your comfort level in delivering the more mature content within this kit This linked so well with our Health and Sexuality programme so the kids were really receptive and open to listening to me and using the tools we were given to discuss the concepts. I have a good relationship with the students so we didn't find it awkward.

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? Initially they believed that there were more dangers in the physical world and didn't consider the online world such a threat. Their perceptions began to change as we moved through the kit.

“This has linked perfectly with our Health and sexuality programme for our Year 8 students. Such an important concept to learn about, that you are one person, no matter whether you are online or in the physical world.”

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? The ideas that they had about who a 'stranger' is really concerned me. Lots of kids said that they spoke to other people online but didn't consider them strangers because they have chatted for a while. I thought that this thinking wouldn't have been as pr

“This kit facilitated some really in-depth discussions in our class. There were many activities that made our class really think hard about what we are doing online and why. Coming back to the theme of being the same person both online and off really stuck with my kids and this language has been used regularly in our class.”

In what way did your perception of the issues relevant to your class change? I was very ignorant of how and what content is being shared and explored by kids the same age as my students (years 4 to 6). This kit gave me insight into the struggles our kids have both at a national level as well as within my own class.

What was something that surprised you about your class throughout the teaching and learning of this kit? The level of critical thinking and understanding of the feelings of others was surprising.

“I personally enjoyed this kit as it allowed me to have structured discussions about these issues with my class (critical discussion is my preferred mode of approaching these sorts of topics). The kids were able to either learn how to critically reflect on an issue or hone the abilities they already have. The kids were particularly interested in the different boundaries that exist in different household.”
