Communicating and collaborating - What could happen?
Remind students that when they share something online, it can be hard to keep track of who sees it.
Our eSmart team have developed a series of resources for teachers to implement within their classroom and to share with parents. These resources are designed for students in Foundation to Grade 4 and have been aligned to the Australian Curriculum using the digital literacy learning continuum.
Bundle 2: Digital wellbeing
Digital wellbeing refers to the way we look after the mental and physical health of ourselves and others. It considers how our behaviours and actions impact out lives, both offline and online.

Spending 'real' money online
Many apps are available to download for for free but then offer in-app purchases.
What it feels like online
Connect students to the fact people can feel hurt and joy and fun online and offline, and to help them build empathy for others in all environments.
Bringing good vibes to the internet
Often, students get told what is wrong, but there is not enough support helping them develop positive strategies to make their online world a better place.
Being courageous online
Remind students that they can collaborate and safely share information with their known peers and trusted adults using simple tools.
What do we look like on the internet?
Ask students: are there things we do online that are nothing like offline? How do you authentically show who you are online?
Should we just play video games all day?
Ask students to think about whether video games are really bad for you?
Parent resource: Keeping things balanced
Using digital devices can be a positive part of your child's life but just like anything, it's important to keep things in balance.
