This PowerPoint is useful for teaching students about staying safe and responsible online. It focuses on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, showing both the good sides, like creativity and communication, and the risks, such as privacy issues and cyberbullying. It also includes examples of positive and negative behaviour so students can clearly see the difference. The slides explain why what you post online matters and how it can affect your future, including school or job opportunities. Overall, it is a simple and clear resource that helps students understand how to manage their digital footprint in a practical way.
Students will create a social media campaign aimed at advising young people on how to manage their digital footprint and online presence. The purpose of this activity is to help learners understand the impact of their online behaviour and encourage responsible, safe, and positive use of social media.
Students should produce a campaign (e.g. PowerPoint, poster, or mock social media posts) that is clear, engaging, and appropriate for a youth audience. Their work should include key advice, examples, and messages that highlight both positive and negative online behaviours, as well as strategies for maintaining a positive digital reputation.
The activity develops students’ awareness of online safety, promotes critical thinking about social media use, and supports digital citizenship skills.
