Become a Digital Media Expert

This school year, we had the opportunity to experience the “Digital Heroes” elective course in 10th grade for the first time—an innovative project that was very well received by everyone involved. The goal was to train 10th-grade students to become digital media experts who would then pass on their knowledge to younger students using a peer-to-peer approach.

 

Staying Safe and Responsible Online

Under the guidance of Tim Elmshäuser, participants explored important topics related to the digital world in various workshops. The focus was on topics such as class chats, cyberbullying, and cybergrooming. The workshops for the younger grades were designed to be engaging and offered not only theoretical knowledge but also practical tips on how to navigate the internet safely and responsibly.

 

Contribution to the School Community’s Digital Literacy

The success of this first round has shown just how valuable it is to raise awareness among young people about the safe use of digital media and to turn them into advocates. The “Digital Heroes” have not only expanded their own knowledge but have also made an important contribution to the digital literacy of our school community. We look forward to continuing this project in the coming years!
