Digital Matters is a free teaching resource helping children and parents understand online safety. It uses interactive activities and discussion points to dig into important online safety issues, and a choice-based story where children can practise their learnt skills with instant feedback.
Interactive Learning
Supported by the lesson plan, children are led through a number of quiz questions that ask them to use what they know or have learnt. Helpers support them with additional hints. After each set of questions, children can review the correct answers, and teachers or parents can have important discussions around the topic.

They feature diverse characters, immediate emotional feedback and every opportunity to make choices that get them out of negative situations. Children can redo this journey as many times as they like to try and find all the different potential endings!
