Teacher Talk Q&A
These are example questions written to show the format. They are not real questions from teachers.
-
Example
Example question: How long does one lesson take?
MystrS: Each Teach it this week lesson is built for about 10 minutes: a short start, a hands-on try-it, and a one-minute wrap-up.
-
Example
Example question: Do I need special materials?
MystrS: Usually not. Most lessons use paper, a pencil and made-up cards you write yourself. A few, like the budget lesson, list optional printouts.
-
Example
Example question: Can people bring real messages from their own phones?
MystrS: Stick to the made-up examples in each lesson. Real messages can hold names, links or codes that shouldn't be shared.
Tips for teaching it
- Keep it short: about 2 minutes to start, 5 to 7 minutes of hands-on practice, and 1 minute to wrap up.
- Use made-up examples only: a made-up text, listing or chat. Never real names, accounts or codes.
- Let people pair up and sort cards into piles, such as “check first” or “stop.”
- Pair every warning sign with a safe next step: the official app, a web address you type yourself, or the number on your card.
- End with one thing each person names out loud: a check they’ll run, a trusted adult, or something they’d never share.
- Read the linked article first. Each lesson goes with a sourced article that has the background.
