Safe and Unsafe Touching 

This presentation works to build children’s safety and competence by providing them with an understanding of what is appropriate and safe as well as what is inappropriate and unsafe. Additionally, the presentation aims to educate children about the names of different body parts. This is essential as it enhances communication between children and adults. Therefore, if a child needs to communicate something that happened, they can do so in a way that does not rely on idiosyncratic language; language that offenders usually use. 

Safety in my Online Neighbourhood 

The power of the internet allows students to experience places they might not be able to see in person. But, just like traveling across the globe, it’s important to be safe when traveling online. On this virtual field trip, kids can practice staying safe when they’re adventuring online.

Safe and Unsafe Secrets 

Abuse often occurs in a veil of secrecy. Therefore, in an effort to prevent abuse secrecy, this presentation aims to teach children about differences between safe and unsafe secrets, how to distinguish between appropriate and inappropriate touching and when to tell a trusted adult about unsafe secrets. Additionally, the presentation aims to build children’s competency about secrets of picture taking and recording, and when this is unsafe. 

Internet Traffic Light

Staying safe online is a lot like staying safe on the street. Using a fun traffic light activity, students learn to identify content that is “just right”, giving them the green light to learn, play, and explore the internet safely.

Digital Trails

As students move beyond just watching videos to more actively participating online, they need clear guidelines about what information is safe to share. Help them distinguish between private information like home addresses and safe information like favorite hobbies.

Safe and Unsafe Secrets 

Child sexual abuse thrives in secrecy and manipulating children into keeping abuse a secret. Therefore, to prevent situations like this from happening, this presentation focuses on teaching children how to distinguish between appropriate and safe secrets, inappropriate/unsafe secrets, and when to keep or tell these different kinds of secrets. A core safety competence for children is to build the ability to discern when situations are safe or unsafe and then who to tell about these unsafe situations. 

Dealing With Online Meanness 

The internet is filled with all kinds of interesting people, but sometimes, some of them can be mean to each other. This can have negative impacts and damage a child’s sense of self as well as self-esteem. Through this presentation, students will understand what mean behaviour looks like, why it is often easier for people to be mean online, and how to deal with this meanness when they see it. 

That’s Private! 

With the rise of technology, it is important to remember that staying safe online is a lot like staying safe in the real world. Through this presentation, students will learn about what kinds of information they should keep to themselves and what kinds of things they should NOT tell a stranger.

Sincere Apologies

Mistakes and misunderstandings are inevitable as students navigate friendships. In this lesson, students learn the three essential parts of a sincere apology, and practice giving genuine apologies for mistakes, with examples drawn from media and tech use. They’ll discover how honest acknowledgment of wrongdoing can strengthen friendships and help repair hurt feelings.

Safe and Unsafe Secrets 

This presentation works to instil the core concept of personal safety; knowing the difference between safe and unsafe situations and behaviours, as well as when to keep or tell secrets. Secrecy around touching and taking pictures or recording videos of children is concerning. By the end of the presentation children will have knowledge about how secrets, picture taking, and recording are unsafe secrets; and that they must be told.

Tangled Fates

The purpose of the presentation is to raise awareness, educate and teach students to spot recruitment tactics by traffickers, examine their own vulnerabilities, and learn strategies for responding to recruitment by a trafficker. During this presentation, students will watch a compilation of scenes from the movie Tangled and have an interactive discussion on what to do if they or someone they know is being lured.

Safe and Unsafe Secrets 

As adults, we often assume that children know who to go to when they need help. In reality, children need to be taught who, what, and how to tell grown-ups about sensitive/dangerous situations and need practice doing it. Therefore, this presentation focuses on teaching children to identify safe grown-ups they can access for help, as well as to distinguish the difference between safe and unsafe grown-up behaviours and boundaries, how to get out of uncomfortable or unsafe situations, and how to tell a grown up something that may be difficult to share.

Red Flags & Chatting Online

Games, social media, and other online spaces give kids opportunities to meet and chat with others outside the confines of their real-life communities. But how well do kids actually know the people they’re meeting and interacting with? Through this presentation, students will learn to analyse how well we know the people we interact with online, how to reflect on what information is safe to share with different types of friends online, as well as how to learn to recognize red flag feelings and use the “feelings and options” thinking routine to respond to them. 

Friends vs. Followers

When students connect online with content creators and celebrities, they often develop one-sided relationships that feel surprisingly real. This lesson helps students distinguish between parasocial relationships—which are one-sided relationships with media personalities—and authentic friendships built on mutual trust and reciprocity. Students will examine how technology creates different types of connections, and develop strategies to maintain healthy relationships both online and offline.

Under Peer Pressure

There is a delicate relationship between belonging and peer pressure, especially in the amplified world of digital life. Through a game of bingo and reflective discussions, students explore how the desire to fit in can shape their decisions—for better or worse—and they will collaborate to identify strategies to help each other decode the pressures of digital life and build a stronger sense of connection, online and offline.

Relationship Boundaries Online and Offline 

Teens often do not fully understand how easy it can be to lose control while on the internet, and how sharing too much information can be harmful or misused by others. Therefore, it is imperative that adolescents are aware of how to protect their own safety online. This presentation focuses on teaching teens the benefits and risk associated with the internet, how content created online can be misused, as well as how to make safe and responsible decisions while online. 

The Pressure to Sext

It is natural for teens to be curious and explore their emerging sexuality. But most grade 7’s and 8’s aren’t prepared for the risks of exploring this in the digital age. This presentation will help students to think critically about self-disclosure in relationships and practice how they’d respond to a situation where sexting- or a request for sexting- might happen.

I Am Little Red 

The purpose of the presentation is to raise awareness, educate and teach students to spot recruitment tactics by traffickers, examine their own vulnerabilities as well as learn strategies for responding to recruitment by a trafficker. During this presentation, students will watch the I Am Little Red video, which is a contemporary reimagining of the classic Little Red Riding Hood that addresses the four primary tactics a “wolf” (trafficker/pimp) will typically use to a lure a Little Red off her/his path. This video is a 10-minute animated short followed by an interactive discussion on what they have watched and what to do if they or someone they know is being lured.

AI Algorithms – How Well Do They Know You?

In a world filled with more content than we could ever possibly consume, recommendation algorithms have long been a necessary part of the internet. This type of AI helps determine what we see (and don’t see) online. But while that can be helpful, these algorithms can have unintended consequences, like creating filter bubbles, perpetuating bias, and undermining our creativity, choices, and opportunities. Use this lesson to help your students think critically about how AI is shaping their experiences online in both helpful and harmful ways.

Bursting The Filter Bubble

Our feeds are designed to keep us stuck in a content loop, which creates filter bubbles that can limit our perspective without us even realizing it. Students will discover how filter bubbles, echo chambers, and confirmation bias work together to narrow viewpoints and influence what we see, believe, and share online. By examining real-world examples, students will develop practical strategies to break free from their bubbles, ensuring that their understanding of the world is continually challenged and expanded.

Parasocial Relationships

Ever felt like you really know a celebrity or influencer you’ve never met? This lesson explores parasocial relationships: the one-sided connections we form with content creators online.

Relationships Red Flags: How can I make sure my relationships are heathy and positive?

“It’s complicated” can describe many of our relationships with others, both romantic and otherwise. Having conversations online, without nonverbal cues or being able to see people, can be awkward and sometimes even risky – with drawbacks from simple misunderstandings to manipulation or even inappropriate messages. This presentation will help students to identify the types of messages that might cause red flag feelings for someone as well as take the first step toward building healthy and rewarding friendships and romantic relationships, both online and off.

Can Media Be Addictive?

The word “addiction” packs a heavy punch, and the research is inconclusive on whether it is truly accurate when it comes to digital device use. What’s certain, however, is that as people use devices and apps more, profits increase for the companies who make them. This presentation will help your students recognize how most of the technology they use is designed to keep them hooked and help them use this as an opportunity to find more balance in their digital lives.

Debating The Privacy Line

Often, the more information we have, the better decisions we’re able to make. The power of data can benefit both individuals and governments. But who can be trusted with the responsibility of having all this data? Can governments collect and use it fairly and without violating our privacy? Help students think through this question and become thoughtful influencers of data policy and practice.

Filter Bubble Trouble

When we get news from our social media feeds, it often only tells us part of the story. Our friends — and the website’s algorithms — tend to feed us perspectives we already agree with. Show students ways to escape the filter bubble and make sure their ideas about the world are being challenged.
