‍My Time, Our Place – Framework for School Age Care in Australia    

This framework assists educators to provide children and young people with opportunities to maximise their potential and develop a foundation for successful lifelong learning. The Framework has been designed for use by approved providers and school age care educators working in partnership with children and young people, their families and the community, including schools.

Outcome 1: Children have a strong sense of identity.

Children develop confidence in their ability to interact positively with others in online spaces by understanding the values that underpin respectful and collaborative teamwork. This is evident when children:

• Reflect on how their behaviour in online spaces demonstrates their personal values and principles.

Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world.

Children explore how positive online behaviour contributes to building respectful and cooperative digital communities. This is evident when children:

• Recognise the importance of rules and codes of conduct in creating safe and supportive digital spaces.

Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators.

Children use their knowledge of teamwork values and digital etiquette to communicate effectively and build positive relationships in online environments. This is evident when children:

• Use appropriate language and strategies to resolve conflicts and support others in online spaces.

CASEL Framework    

This Framework creates a foundation for applying evidence-based, Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) strategies both at school and in the broader community. Its aim is to support the cultivation of SEL skills and environments that advance students’ learning and development.    

Self-Awareness

The lesson helps learners reflect on their own values and how they influence behaviour in online spaces.

This is evident when learners:

• Identify their personal strengths and values, such as respect, kindness, and fairness.
• Reflect on how their behaviour in digital spaces demonstrates these values.
• Recognise how their contributions to teamwork affect the overall dynamic of online interactions.

Bournemouth University Theory of Change

This project, funded by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) as part of the UK government's Online Literacy Media Strategy, aims to empower people to stay safe online by being able to critically evaluate what they see and read on the internet. It offers a transferable and sustainable framework and methodology that can not only be used for the independent evaluation of media literacy projects but also to inform their future design.

• Capabilities: This is where we use our media literacy more actively for particular purposes in our lives, rather than as passive consumers of information and content. Media literacy capabilities range from access changes, the application of more critical or mindful decision making when receiving information, the use of fact-checking of information or sources, more informed attitudes to sharing content and information, or getting directly involved in the media ecosystem as creators of media content.
