Online Safety and Digital Intelligence Teaching Resources for Australian Teachers

  • Online Safety and Digital Intelligence Teaching Resources

    Empower your students to navigate the digital world safely and confidently with resources created with the Alannah & Madeline Foundation. Each lesson is designed to support learners in becoming confident, respectful digital citizens and help educators deliver age-appropriate content for Foundation to Year 8 across HPE, Digital Technologies and English.

Why teaching about digital safety matters

Young people are glued to screens for education, escape and entertainment. We all are. But 80% of 8-12-year-olds are already on social media platforms designed for adults, often without the skills they need to navigate them safely (eSafety Commissioner, 2025).

As an educator who knows and cares about young people, you're perfectly positioned to help change this story. By teaching about digital intelligence, you're building essential life skills that protect their mental health, boost their confidence and help them participate safely in our connected world.

About these resources

These 9 engaging lessons are designed to:
⭐ build students' confidence in safely navigating online environments by exploring the 4Cs of online safety: content, contact, conduct and compulsion
⭐ equip students with essential digital literacy and citizenship skills through the eSmart Digital Licence+ platform
⭐ develop practical strategies for identifying and managing online risks
⭐ strengthen understanding of digital citizenship by examining responsibilities and protective behaviours
⭐ foster safe and respectful relationships online and offline.
