Digital Literacy: Skill Training for Kids & Teens

What is the Digital Literacy: Skill Training for Kids & Teens?

The purpose of the Digital Literacy: Skill Training for Kids & Teens program is to educate children and teenagers about the potential risks and benefits of using social media. Through this program, we aim to provide children with the knowledge and skills they need to safely and responsibly navigate the online world at their age.

The event - An Overview

Digismartkids Digital Literacy Training for Kids and Teens was made possible by the collaboration between BSIT and BSCS students from the University of San Agustin. The event took place in a video conference through google meet and was held for two days during the month of December 2022. The aim of the event was to spread digital literacy and awareness among young teens, specifically around the ages of 13 to 15 years old. By enlightening these young participants about what truly underlies the world of digital and social media, we the instigators and coordinators of the event believe that we can prepare them for the dangers and pitfalls they may face one day.

The underlying problem

The importance of digital literacy cannot be overstated. According to recent statistics, more than 5.07 billion people use the internet, which makes up a whopping 63.5 percent of the global population today! These numbers are only expected to grow further into the future, and eventually, everyone in the world will have access to this information superhighway. However, this of course comes at a cost. With so many young people having access to the internet, it’s going to be quite worrisome to think about all the dangers they may come across online. 

 

According to the Philippine Institute of Development Studies(PIDS) in 2021, only about 40 percent of Filipinos actually possess at least one of the ICT skills based on the standards set of the Sustainable Development Goals. Only 58 percent of employers in the whole country said that they were able to provide digital skills training for their employees. To top it off, digital literacy tends to be the lowest among those between the ages of 10 to 14 years old and those who are 65 years old and above.

 

In order to overcome whatever issue they may come across in the future, children need to be taught how to be self-sufficient, confident, and become well-distinguished users of technology. Following that, they must be able to acquire and develop critical and analytical attitudes in order to be able to use whatever tool or knowledge they are given for specific situations and circumstances. Otherwise, they’ll not only fall behind, but also will be in great danger when they encounter certain things on the internet that they do not understand.

 

Goals of Digital Literacy Training for Kids and Teens

One of the goals of the Digital Literacy Training was to overcome this issue and to allow as many young teens as we can muster to help them develop the competence they needed in order to ensure their own safety and to thrive in this day and age. We need to be able to provide them with the ability to access, evaluate and analyze information sources so that they can make informed decisions when needed. In order to achieve this, we had set up our young participants the opportunity to participate in the discussions and we allowed them to think critically by asking them provoking questions so they may be able to better understand and come up with their own answers.

Next, by teaching them to communicate and collaborate, we also hoped to enable the young participants to learn how to communicate, collaborate, and network with others. With this strategy, we would be able to allow them to learn the value of collaboration as a life skill whether outside or inside the digital world, teach them to interact effectively with other people on the internet, allow them to understand basic social norms and etiquette when communicating online, and enable them to learn from one another through their interactions. To achieve this, we had a group chat for them to share their own thoughts and experiences with one another. Additionally, we had them understand the value of respecting others in the online world and how their posts and comments can affect other people online.

Lastly, of course we wanted to help these young teens understand the fundamentals of internet safety especially about knowing the value of privacy, using privacy settings, and knowing what and what not to share in social media. This will also allow them to understand the risk of cyberbullying and to actually seek help when they ever experience it themselves. So we could achieve this, we showed the students how to protect their data when browsing the internet. We taught them how to use the privacy settings, read privacy policies, and even reminded them to be careful about what they post in social media as some people may tend to overshare information about themselves without them noticing.

 

Day - 1

The events of the first day all transpired during the 13th of December. It was an engaging and enlightening event for everyone involved. During the first day, many of the young participants were already pumped up and were already surprisingly familiar with many of the topics presented on screen. It was also apparent that everyone had fun during the talk which was held by Gmar Sazon and Alfonso Miguel Gullo. Some of the topics that they covered involved internet privacy settings and policies, social media addiction, cyberbullying, self-disclosure, sexting, red flag feeling. 

 

The first major topic that I’d like to mention was about privacy. The participants were taught about how they can protect their privacy by understanding privacy settings and privacy policies. They were taught how to turn off cookies in their browser settings, opt out of information sharing when not necessary, review privacy policies, and by using the ASK(accessed, shared, known) method in order to analyze how certain apps can affect their privacy. 

 

The next essential topic was about social media addiction. Here the participants were made aware of how certain social media platforms and apps were designed to become addictive and to make them understand how to have a healthy media balance.

 

Finally, the participants were made aware of the significance of age in terms of using the internet. According to the speakers, young internet users tend to get themselves exposed to targeted advertising. These advertisements were said to be taking personal information from teenagers with the use of cookies, beacons, tracking pixels, persistent identifiers, and possibly other means that we may or may not know about. Although there are potentially good and bad arguments for and against having an age requirement, the audience was still taught to take caution and to avoid being careless when browsing the internet.

 

The speakers were able to convey the information in a clear and appealing manner. Some of the participants even commented that the speakers did a brilliant job at illustrating the topics. The young audience were also asked questions based on every topic, which they were able to answer with ease. It signified that a lot of them already had encounters and experiences relating to the topics. And when they were asked about their experiences at the end of the event, it was confirmed that they did encounter them. Some said that they had experiences with cyberbullying and some with having social media addiction. One of the young respondents even mentioned that she had suffered anxiety attacks when communicating with others due to something she experienced online.

However, just because they have already encountered them, it doesn’t mean that they were able to cope or act accordingly. By the end of the event, the participants were asked to answer a questionnaire that allowed us to gain insight on what these young teens have experienced in the past and what they were able to learn to overcome them following the event. 

 

Here were our findings:

 

Out of 10 participants, 8 of them actually experienced cyberbullying. One of the participants even personally said that she had experienced anxiety attacks and had struggled trusting or communicating with other people due to her experiences with cyberbullying. Though it’s not all bad as there were also good signs that many of the participants have learned a thing or two from the event about dealing with cyberbullying. One commented that they would try to help a person who’s being bullied online and would even report the bully’s account. Other participants mentioned that they would ignore and block the bully, and others said that they’ll stop sharing too much information online. 

 

Out of 10 participants, 7 of them experienced social media addiction, which isn’t that surprising given the fact that almost everyone uses social media nowadays. One even said that they will stop using social media from now on, another good sign that a participant got something out of the talk.

 

7 participants also experienced self-disclosure. Some of them said that from now on, they will think twice and not share too much information in social media again.

 

Day one concluded as the participants were also asked to participate in a friendly competition against each other on quizizz to test the extent of their knowledge and their listening skills. Three partakers were given certificates and the following have been declared the winners: Sammea Villacorta, Margarette Anne Wuthrich, and Darlyn Joy Licos.

 

Day - 2

The second day of the event was held on December 16. The speakers, Hans Wuthrich and Joshua Haro covered another set of topics that involved hate speech, cyberbullying, breaking news, grooming, sharenting, misinformation, disinformation, and biases. 


In the beginning, the speakers talked about hate speech and cyberbullying. They were able to teach the young students how to respond to negative comments, take action against bullies, and empathize or help those who are targeted by cyberbullying.

Another one of the topics the speakers mentioned was about biases. Because some news outlets tend to showcase their own biases towards certain people and topics, the participants were encouraged to analyze and double check the information that had been mentioned in certain news articles by looking at multiple sources before reacting and getting into conclusions. This gave us the opportunity to teach them critical thinking skills which they’ll definitely need in the future.

Finally, the speakers talked about the red flags when chatting and having relationships with people online. There are instances where teenagers and children would fall victim to grooming, which is when someone older uses chatting or messaging to manipulate young people for the purpose of sexual abuse and sex trafficking. This tends to be one of the most dangerous and terrifying things to encounter online. This is why we had to make our audience aware of this fact and explain to them when an online relationship can be considered a ‘red flag’ or dangerous.


The participants were again asked to answer a questionnaire based on the topics mentioned. We asked them about some of the topics they may have experienced or have encountered before. We also asked how the talk may have impacted them and how they are going to protect themselves and the people around them from the issues surrounding the aforementioned topics. 

We also asked the participants to rate the speakers and how they were able to deliver the topic. Here were our findings.


Apparently, around 8 out of 11 participants had experiences with cyberbullying and hate speech simultaneously. They mentioned that the talk taught them that in order to stop cyberbullying, they can learn to stand up for themselves and even stand up for others instead of staying silent. Others even mentioned practicing politeness and being respectful to those they meet online.
Out of 11, 3 participants have experienced misinformation and disinformation. According to them, the talk taught them to not believe everything they see in social media as it might not be true in reality. They said that they’ll be careful next time and look out for wrong information and biases that may appear in news articles in the future.
Finally, the participants described the talk as informative. According to them, the information presented was clear and concise, and that the use of logic, facts, examples, and expert opinion is sufficient.
Day two concluded with another quizizz competition. Precious Gail Ester, Stephanie Dunlao, and Margarette Anne Wuthrich were declared winners and once again were given a certificate which they had gladly accepted.
