Each of the workshops are 80 – 90 minutes in duration and designed to take place in their normal classroom environment with their class teacher. Topics covered will include how prevalent mobile phone usage is among 5th and 6th class children, apps they may be using like Snapchat, Instagram, Tik Tok, Whatsapp etc. and the potential Cyberbullying incidents or Internet Safety issues that may arise when using apps.
