Description

This unit explores the forces shaping online experiences, teaching pupils to critically evaluate digital content. Pupils learn about online influencers, how algorithms work, their own power online and the role of data, developing understanding of how and why their online experience is curated.

At Year 5, pupils are likely to be aware of different types of online content. Building on previous knowledge of media influence, this unit examines the forces that shape their online experiences. This is timely as pupils need to understand how algorithms, influencers and data collection affect what they see. By learning these concepts now, pupils develop a critical understanding of content curation, commercial motivations and their digital power.
