We talked about the children's rights. Students were introduced to the Convention on the Rights of the Child (the children’s version). We used the Answer Garden to collect ideas on the childrens rights. Because of the age of my students (4th graders, age 10), we did this activity on the mother tongue.

4) Safer Internet Day 2021

On the occassion of the Safer Internet Day 2021, 8th graders talked about the AI and the issues of digital rights, the impact of AI on human rights, privacy and data protection.

Students participated in two TwinSpace forum discussions:
1) What your app knows about you?
2) COVID-19 as a crisis for digital rights.

Furthermore, students did the research on helpful and harmful AI and they created posters using the tool PosterMyWall. Students uploaded their own work into Materials - Images section on TwinSpace.
