14. Results? What does data say?

15. What students like (in their own words…)
• I can help people and show them what they can do to change.
It is fun and we learn a lot.
• I like getting up there and speaking and telling them about real
life, relatable, instances. About how people feel and why they
do the things they do online.
• I like the feeling of leadership. I can add ideas to improve the
lessons, so I'm sort of like a teacher.
• I like being able to lead and make a difference for how people
use social media
• I like being able to lead a class and discuss problems and
benefits with my peers from the viewpoint a teacher or sorts.

16. Do you think it helps?
• I think what we are doing is help those students that
care about their online identity but only those
students that listen and take it seriously
• I think it does really help my classmates learn about
digital citizenship because team time tech leaders
are the same years old so they can learn because
we explain things like they would and understand.
• I am helping some of my classmates think about
what they post online.
• Although almost none of them will admit it, it will
make at least half of them more aware of what they
post, at least subconsciously.

17. What advice would you give?
• My advice is making it as active or engaging for the students. For
example, making challenges like we did so they get motivated to
try these things.
• Other schools should also have leaders and I can tell them that it
is worth it even though it might seem scary at first.
• I would say yes, and I would advise them to make it interactive.
• However, each school should firstly get to know their students, so
that as much of their activities can be relatable as possible. For
example, most of us don't meet people online that we never
knew, so activities about that wouldn't be needed very often.
However, we should have a majority of activities about posting
inappropriate things online and our privacy settings - this should
be in every school.

18. In students’ own words…(continued)
• Some advice I would give to the students is to not worry because they will have all the slides,
movies, scenrios, and every thing to say. And if the students don't want to answer there
questions and aren't raising there hand and they don't speak at all. They should just call on
them and just ask them to answer there questions.
• The advice I have is to have a good student selected that will be taken seriously and have a
supervisor like a teacher in the room so that the kids don't just totally goof off.
• Some advice that I would have is that the tech time leader should try to involve everyone,
especially when its a class that are still learning english. Also when there is something on the
board they should read it slowly. Lastly try to make it fun and not make it seem like you were
forced to be teaching them.

19. So what? Now what?
• What do you think? What might you take away from this presentation?
• What advice would you have for us moving forward?
• What do I plan to do next?
