Introduction:

Welcome to MySociaLife’s Critical Thinking Module. Life online is littered with so many falsehoods and traps, how can we learn to discern right from wrong, safe from dangerous, true from false, and be equipped to make smarter digital decisions? We’ll need the tools to assess the information, take a pause, and practice clear thinking. It won’t be easy. But it will most certainly be a necessity in this decade.

Introduction:

Welcome to MySociaLife’s Privacy and Cybersecurity Module. Most students think they understand privacy, and grasp that they need cybersecurity measures in place. But they don’t know just how much. Privacy is more than app settings, or apps collecting data, it’s a decision about how open or closed they decide to be online. And cybersecurity is focused on how diverse those threats will be, beyond viruses, and into ransomware, phishing, clickbaiting to access credit card info, or accessing private photos to shame/extort or harm? A lot to think about.

Introduction (TEACHER ONLY, initial background)

Welcome to MySociaLife’s Cyberbullying Module. Pre-teens are largely ill-equipped to understand the internal motivations that drive them to assert their dominance on another. In this module, we help them connect to what cyberbullying really is, why some people bully online, and how there is a key role to play for the majority of “upstanders” who witness this harmful behaviour. Most importantly, explaining why people behave this way, and showing how victims of bullying go on to become successful, provides much-needed hope.
