Secondary – Understanding Content Algorithms
This lesson introduces young people to what content algorithms do and the types of posts they tend to prioritise. Young people will explore how algorithms can create echo chambers and rabbit holes, shaping what people see and how they engage online. They will also reflect on how this can influence thoughts, feelings and behaviour in everyday digital life.
This guide helps parents and carers understand how algorithms influence what children see online, while offering practical steps and conversation prompts to keep them safe, informed, and in control of their digital experiences.
This guide supports educators to explore stories like Molly’s safely and meaningfully in school settings.
This guide helps parents and teachers support young people to recognise harmful or unsettling content online and understand how it can affect their feelings and wellbeing.
