Lesson Plan 4 Digital Ethics of Care

The Digital Ethics of Care project was funded by the Economic and Social Research Councils Network+ 'eNurture'. The goal of the project was to understand how pre-adolescent children understood the concept of a digital 'ethics of care' in their interactions with others online. Data gathering took place in 2021 and comprised a paired interview approach with children-as-researchers. As a result of the analysis and consultations with teachers, artist Tom Cleaver created a game for use in schools. This Lesson Plan is aimed at 7-10 year olds and addresses the following learning intentions: - To understand the importance of reporting cyberbullying to a trusted adult. - To understand how to report harassment and hate crime. This plan is supported with a slide pack.
