Technology, Media and Digital Responsibility

Verify online claims, respect consent and protect passwords and personal information. Digital harassment should be reported to trusted adults or responsible authorities.

Digital tools make communication easy but also multiply the reach of falsehood and humiliation. Responsible users verify claims, obtain consent before sharing images and protect passwords and location information. A popular post is not necessarily true; an apparently private message may be copied widely. Harassment and threats should be documented safely and reported to appropriate adults or authorities.

Think of a situation at school, home or online. Who might be affected, and what rights should be protected? Before deciding, check the facts. A good purpose does not make deception or humiliation acceptable. Compare two possible responses, choose the safer and fairer one, and explain why. Seek help from a trusted adult if someone faces serious harm.
