Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Relationships happen both online and offline.
- The way we communicate online can be different to offline.
- We can be overwhelmed by social media and online communication.
- We need to be careful when we communicate with new people online.
- Some people use manipulation tactics online.
Common misconception
If an online profile has a photograph, or if a link is sent from a friend's email, then the information is trustworthy.
Catfishing is when people use other people's images to create a fake profile. Email accounts can also be hacked without people realising. Therefore, we can't always trust information online just because it comes from a friend.
