Blog post: Make them aware of what they are seeing (AI for young people)
Nowadays, AI-generated content is everywhere: images, videos, near-perfect text, schoolwork, social media content, advertisements, and even news.
AI can create highly convincing material in a matter of seconds; while this isn't necessarily a bad thing, it does require us to pay closer attention to the content we consume and share, since not everything we see is real.
In this blog post, we talk about recognising deepfakes, the role of families and educators, and how we can address this at home, in the classroom, or on our own.
Three videos on setting up parental controls in generative AI apps
Three videos explaining the features of three generative AI applications: ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot.
As minors increasingly use artificial intelligence tools, families must continue to prioritise parental mediation. It is important to talk with them about how they use these tools and to support their learning. Furthermore, it is advisable to familiarise ourselves with and utilise parental control options to foster safe, responsible, and age-appropriate use.

Kahoot activity: “Do you know how to respond to cyberbullying?”
Knowing how to identify and deal with a cyberbullying situation enables students to play an active role in the school's zero-tolerance policy regarding cyberbullying.
In this Kahoot activity, designed for young people, they are presented with various questions regarding online behaviour, cyberbullying, and empathy, prompting them to reflect and respond.
Board game “Now it’s your turn!”
By playing “Now it’s your turn!” (“¡Ahora te toca a ti!”), young people will learn to put a stop to cyberbullying by developing empathy. The game encourages them to step into the shoes of a victim, a friend, a family member, or a peer.
Creating a positive online environment so that everyone can enjoy the internet is a shared responsibility. Therefore, engaging young people by presenting various scenarios and providing them with resources for action is crucial to reversing disrespectful behaviour on social media or in online games.
