This lesson assists teachers in facilitating open discussions with students on the sharing of images/ pictures of others and the implications that this has for students. It examines the relationships involved in the exchange of images, how the images might be shared and the potential consequences if an image goes wider than its intended use. As mentioned in the first year FUSE programme, students should be taught to have accountability for their actions online. This lesson aims to continue to promote good digital citizenship while also reinforcing the message that any bullying behaviour should always be reported. It also enables students to reflect on their own behaviour and use of social media.
Students should be enabled to:
- Understand the concept of consent in relation to taking images/pictures of others and the sharing of these
- Develop a greater awareness of positive digital citizenship
- Reflect on and identify ways in which to spot bullying behaviour online
- Create a list of ways in which to share images, comments or posts in a safe and respectful manner online
