Squiz Kids

A conversation between Squiz Kids' Bryce Corbett and Australia’s eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman-Grant about the importance of teaching kids to be media literate. Specifically, how Newshounds - Squiz Kids' new, free media literacy program for primary school kids - and the eSafety Commission’s 'Mighty Heroes' campaign are together working to keep kids safe online.

The Mighty Heroes complement the 0-5yrs, Swoosh and Glide education material which can be used to teach lower primary students how to make good choices when they are online. Teachers can read the picture book to the class or read along with the video, and then explore the puzzles with students.
