 * Gradey McNicol - 1574 7035**

When showing this DVD it allows for discussion to take place about the inappropriateness of the situation, and also about who is at fault/involved. It allows for exploration of topics that are sometimes hard to deal with within a classroom. Photograph offers a detailed study guide providing worksheets, Information sheets, DVDs, Interviews, Resources and also current research and resources to be used to further the students learning.

This resource was used whilst on my teaching experience in Swan Hill. We had invited in a Police Officer to discuss to students the repercussions and issues sorrounding cyber safety and this DVD was shown allowing for extensive discussion about people involved and the process in which the Police must take in regards to sexting issues. A great resource that is influential and interesting for all. [|Take this lollipop]

This is an interactive site that allows you to add your own Facebook account. It then inserts your account into a video showing a menacing man accessing and scrolling through your profile, photos and details. I have used this resource with Year 8 students during a year level assembly to demonstrate the importance of cybersafety with Social Networking sites and protecting your privacy. It is a good introductory tool to show students how easily someone unknown to them can access their personal information and highlights the importance of keeping themselves safe online. This interactive demonstration is chilling and the students got a real scare from watching the clip, I had a student set up to enter their Facebook account and used that as an example. This also contributes to some great discussion on internet usage and cyberbullying. You may need to check that your schools internet allows access to this application as I had some difficulties loading it through their system. This could be used students from Year 7 onward. //VELS Level 5// //Health Knowledge and promotion // //Students identify outcomes of risk-taking behaviours and evaluate harm-minimisation strategies.// (Priscilla Tuohey)

This is an Australian Cybersafety campaign video by Cybersmart, it is set in an Australian school and covers topics such as friendships, trust, responsibility, sexting, the law, bullying and the repercussions of such behaviours on a variety of different people. This allows for different perspectives and interpretations to be discussed within your class.It could be used with students from year 7 on wards, I showed this clip to a Year 12 VCAL Senior literacy class as we were working on a campaign proposal for cybersafety and had been reviewing a range of different campaigns. Students reported that this clip was realistic and they could relate to the school environment represented and the characters, this campaign was voted the best by the students and has currently received awards. The campaign is supported with resources for teachers and students and the clip runs for approx 20mins.

//"Tagged is supported by lesson plans and compelling character reflection interviews. It explores themes of personal and peer safety and responsibility that are crucial to maintaining positive online behaviours and digital reputation into adulthood" //

This is another cyber safety campaign and resource site for 11-17 year olds, you are required to sign up to get access to the teachers resources and video clips. It is based on a UK site of the same name and is in partnership in Australia with the Federal Police, Microsoft, Ninemsn and DATACOM. Students have a page for youth that gives them advice and scenarios, the video clips look at Sexting (Megans story) and has accompanying teachers notes and students discussion questions. The resources can be varied between year 7-12, with the UK site providing a great range of clips which can be accessed on you tube through the sites page. The clips look at cyberstalking, consequences and responding to sexting, there is also the ability for students to use the site to report abuse or harassment online with just a click of a button. I have used this resource many times on my teaching practicum and students responded very well, stating that they had never seen any of the information presented and they acknowledged that it would should be shown to younger students (grade 6-year 7). Greaet for informing students of risks associated with online behaviours as well as providing them with a resource to explore in their own time or if they are feeling unsafe and have no one they trust to speak to.

//VELS Level 5// //**Building social relationships **// //Students demonstrate respect for the individuality of others and empathise with others in local, national and global contexts, acknowledging the diversity of individuals. They recognise and describe peer influence on their behaviour. Students select and use appropriate strategies to effectively manage individual conflict and assist others in resolution processes. //
