Overview
Our KS3, KS4 and Post-16 resources focus on the law surrounding social media usage. In an era of unrivalled free speech, the lessons challenge students to consider what is and isn’t acceptable to be posted online.
Students examine the types of offences that people may be committing (whether knowingly or not) online and the possible consequences they may face. Students also consider how freedom of expression applies in online settings.
“This resource helped to empower my students and give them an understanding of how their country is run.” – Secondary school teacher, 2021
