Sexting

By Jess and Jacci Vandenberg ===The topic for our unit of work is Cyberbullying. Within the Cyberbullying umbrella we chose to focus further on "Sexting" as we thought this was a highly significant issue involving teenagers worldwide. Our target audience is 13-15 year olds (years 7 & 8). We aim to educate and inform these students of the dangers and consequences involved with 'Sexting' through our digital artefact and sequenced unit of work (below).=== ===Students are required to investigate various forms of cyberbullying and the consequences for the bully and the victim. Through experience and reflection, students come to understand the need for empathy for others. They develop and practise appropriate skills in conflict resolution. Students will explore how their peers may influence the way they respond to others. They will continue to identify strategies to build and maintain positive social relationships.===
