USING THE TOOLKIT
With the toolkit, students have the opportunity to actively participate in exercises that explore various generative AI tools such as Microsoft Copilot and prompt engineering techniques. By completing the lessons, students gain valuable insights and develop practical skills to enhance their digital safety. These skills include:
​
-
Fact-checking
-
Cultivating good digital hygiene habits
-
Safeguarding their data privacy
-
Adopting strategies to manage their mental wellbeing effectively
​
Educators can deploy this resource in a single lesson or broken up into four parts. This rough guide suggests how long each section may take, but we encourage extra time for discussion:
​
-
Introduction (20 minutes)
-
Gina’s Fight for the Ocean (30 minutes)
-
Game On with Alex (30 minutes)
-
Key Takeaways for Students (10 minutes)
