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.
