Cyberbullying Part 1

While the age of consent to access social media platforms is 13 years of age, Irish based research indicates that 93% of 8 to 12 year olds own their own smart device.

Research indicates that pupils between the ages of 8 to 12 years are both creators and consumers of social media platforms. A crucial aspect of this age bracket is that they are digital natives who simultaneously navigate online and offline worlds, without necessarily making distinctions between both.

In light of this, this workshop aims to educate pupils in the fundamentals of permission when creating content that includes others.

This lesson will also look at the meaning of “Empathy” and how to be a good friend online.
