Reflection Activity for Learners Think of a situation where a child you know may be facing difficulties online. What signs would you look for, and how would you approach a conversation with them? Reflect on your own family dynamics. How can you ensure open communication with your child about their online activities? What changes would you make to your current approach? Case Study 2: Inappropriate Content and Responsible Digital Citizenship Scenario Overview James is a 10-year-old boy who enjoys spending time on the family tablet, playing games and watching videos. His parents have set some basic parental controls but haven’t fully explored all the available tools. One evening, while browsing for a new game, James accidentally clicks on an ad that leads him to a website with violent and explicit content. Feeling uncomfortable and scared, he quickly closes the browser but doesn’t tell his parents, fearing they might get angry or take his tablet away. Over the next few days, James seems more anxious and has trouble sleeping. He becomes hesitant to use the tablet and appears distracted when using it. His parents notice these changes but are unsure of the cause. They assume he might be getting tired of his games or schoolwork but don’t suspect he has seen something inappropriate. Key Characters
