Mobile and internet technologies have become part of everyday life, and people are able to communicate more easily and creatively than ever before. Yet such freedom can come at a price, and teachers and parents have a key role in helping young people use these technologies safely and responsibly.

We have developed a resource that consists of five short film clips for teachers, aimed at 11-14 year olds. Each clip aims to provoke thought and discussion on the fastest-growing areas of the web.

Social networking sites, the ability to post your own videos and pictures and chatting to friends via the internet are all areas that are growing in popularity. Whilst these technologies provide exciting opportunities for self expression and communication, they also create the need for individuals both to safeguard themselves and to understand the need for care, restraint and responsibility when using them.
