Additional links provide a wealth of material to support learning at these levels.

Junior scenario Students can view videos and resources from 'Hector's World' produced by Netsafe to explore what information they should give out while online.

Middle scenario Students can view a video showing a 'creative' solution to text bullying that was produced by students at Marina View School leading to discussion and ideas on how to create their own videos about being a digital citizen.

Secondary scenario Students can view a video showing possible consequences of their decisions when using digital technologies. They can select an option at the end of the first video which then takes them to a new video based on this selection. They can explore how different decisions effect the outcomes to the scenario.
