Online content and influence
This RSE & PSHE video introduces teachers to how online content can influence thoughts and beliefs. It explains the difference between fact and opinion, and how opinions online are not always clearly presented.
By the end of this lesson, the children should be able to recognise how online opinions can shape their views. They begin by identifying the difference between fact and opinion and how each is presented online. They develop critical thinking skills, such as evaluating evidence, recognising repeated messages and questioning whether something is widely accepted or appears popular. The video shows how these skills are practised through discussion and examples, helping the children make more informed judgements about the content they encounter.
