Media influence: Who decides what I experience in the online world?

This four-lesson KS2 scheme of work explores how media, data and online platforms can influence what young people experience and see in the online world. Learners develop an understanding of the power they have online, how personal data is collected and used, how algorithms shape the content they see, and how online influencers can affect their choices and opinions.
Learners explore real-world examples and scenarios to consider how online experiences are shaped, how to recognise different forms of influence, and how to make informed choices about their own online activity. The scheme supports learners to develop the knowledge, awareness and critical thinking skills needed to navigate the online world safely and confidently.
