Seriously, good on you for being here. There are many teachers that feel social media, gaming or a child’s online world isn’t their responsibility as a teacher. “It’s the parents job,” or “it’s not a part of my job description,” we understandably hear teachers say. And yes, they’re right perhaps, but the fact remains students turn up on campus every day experiencing the complexities of adolescence which is felt both offline in the real word and experienced online via the internet.
It can impact results and relationships, it can disrupt classrooms, and even harm the school brand. We are left with the reality of life online is ‘front and centre’ in most kids’ lives, and parents and teachers have to help them navigate the terrain, before it’s too late, and they see mental health issues, bullying, sexting, and damaging links, hashtags, or photos deeply inked into the internet.
We have tried to make it as simple as possible to hop from stage to stage and watch the videos, download some tools, and re-start the conversation with your students with fresh eyes. Simply follow the five colour-coded steps below.
Quick overview: What to expect?
Welcome to MySociaLife’s Teacher Program. This is 60-minutes of video training and exposure, broken into four lessons. Watch it in one go, or in a few sittings. Kick off with this short intro video which reveals the reality of where we find ourselves (right) and then follow the colour-coded steps below which will provide you with an outline, some tools, and even a quiz to test your knowledge.
For best results:
We are fully aware that every school is so very different, so it’s really up to you to consider what environment you find yourself in (geographic location, access, socio-economic considerations) and the risk appetite of your students by age, which increases as they get older!
Next, download your outline to guide you through the sections of the 60-minute training session. This pdf document contains an outline of the key messages.
Some teachers want additional resources like pointers, exercises or extra videos which they can use when unpacking online issues with their classes. This pdf document contains:
As a teacher, time is a highly prized commodity, so we totally get you may not want to do the quiz. No problem. But, as we teach kids, being asked questions, and even getting the answer wrong paves the way to forge strong memories and seed the learnings into the mind. So, if you wish, add the cherry on top and ensure you absorbed the module’s information. Take the short quiz once you’ve completed watching all the videos.
Seriously, good on you for being here. There are many parents that feel life online isn’t complicated or risky, or much of a concern. In fact, with pre-teens many parents feel like kids are just idly gaming or chatting to friends. But, beneath that, they are establishing what type of digital citizen they are going to be – how they relate to the world through devices, games, apps, social and chat platforms, and the internet. In fact, we know that this age group is key to responsible behaviour online. We implore parents to pay attention and do the work now before it’s too late, and they see mental health issues, bullying, sexting, and damaging exposure deeply inked into the internet. Good parents make sure they have done their due diligence – that’s why you’re here. We have tried to make it as simple as possible to hop from stage to stage and watch the videos, download some tools, and re-start the conversation with your kids with fresh eyes. Simply follow the five colour-coded steps below.
Quick overview: What to expect?
Welcome to MySociaLife’s Parent Program. This is 100-minutes of video training and exposure, broken into six short lessons of 10 to 15 minutes. Watch it in one go, or in a few sittings. Kick off with this short intro video from our founder (right) and then follow the colour-coded steps below which will give you the outline of what we cover, some useful tips, tricks, links and videos
For best results:
Firstly, if possible, watch it with both parents. It will pay dividends to have you both on the same page. This is shorter than reading a book, more engaging (video) and easier to get someone to sit next to you, grab a drink, and make a few key notes that apply to your child and your home.
A very useful pack of links to take you further than the initial training. This pdf document contains:
If you’re not sure about how much you know the best way is to check. And don’t worry if you fail and get some answers wrong, that will only help to teach you more. If you have any questions about the answers, you can email us on info@mysocialife.com too!
As a parent, time is a valuable commodity, so we totally get you may not want to do a post-course survey. No problem. But, our program has been best-in-class for one reason, we incessantly ask for feedback about what works, what doesn’t and what additions we can add into the course.

This 60-minute lesson consists of a series of instructional videos and breakouts in which students can unpack the challenges and share experiences if they wish (although it is of course not mandatory to “tell all” in such a critical, sensitive and public environment.) For the teacher guiding the lesson, we have provided a list of five steps below.

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.

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.

Introductory message (to teachers only): Welcome to MySociaLife’s Critical Thinking lesson. 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’s a lot to grasp for young minds, but due to the increased exposure and risks, critical thinking online is needed now more than ever and required earlier than it was a decade ago.

Introduction (Teachers Only):
Welcome to MySociaLife’s Cyberbullying and Empathy Module. We can see from the news every day that even adults are often ill-equipped to understand the internal motivations that drive them to dominate another person (or group). In this module, we help teens to connect to what bullying really is, why some people bully, and how there is a role to play for “upstanders” who witness this harmful behaviour. Most importantly, explaining why people bully, and showing how victims of bullying go on to become successful provides much-need hope. Empathy is central to your students’ understanding. If you can’t see the harm you cause, and can’t put yourself in someone else’s shoes, you will struggle to grasp the impact of cyberbullying.
