is a six session digital well-being and online safety curriculum designed to help students develop healthier relationships with technology, specifically when it comes to smartphones and social media. In our program, students learn the importance of setting healthy boundaries, or "Filters" as we call them, to help them achieve more positive experiences interacting online.
Our goal is to create a movement that awakens people of all ages to the urgency of change that needs to happen in this space. We believe that the work we are doing will have a profound impact not only on this generation, but on generations to come.
FILTER stands for the six areas we focus our teaching within. Each letter has a video teaching session the students watch in a classroom. Check out the video for the "E" which stands for Emotions, and the rest of the topics we discuss below.
Filtering the people and accounts we are following and the accounts we allow to follow us on social media to keep us safe and protect our privacy.
Filtering the intentions behind the way we interact online to make sure our hearts are in the right place when we post, share, and comment.
Filtering the story we share to safeguard our future opportunities by thinking long term.
Filtering the time we spend on social media to live a healthy, balanced life.
Filtering our emotions before, during, and after using social media to maintain our mental and emotional health.
Filtering our perceptions of our virtual reality to remember that the way people present themselves and their lives’ on social media is not always the way things really are.
While watching each video, the students will follow along in their interactive Study Guide that is full of statistics, discussion questions, independent activities and so much more.
