From my brief reviews in the previous post, I have drawn a few conclusions...
- There are very few easily accessible educational videos for young people on the risks of social media.
- Those which can be easily found are quite 'preachy' and talk down to kids in a way that I feel makes it hard for them to learn anything.
- The ones that aren't like this generally go the other way and provide very little information.
- It seems like the only way kids are presented with social media education is in the form 'no, this is scary and bad, and nothing good can come from it'.
From this, I can identify that there is a real niche in the market for a way to talk to young people about social media in a more casual and fun way. I believe that kids will be more likely to listen if they're not immediately just told 'no' and treated in a patronising manner. This thought comes from the fact that the most engaging video was the one created by kids themselves! It felt less patronising and less like a lecture (more like advice).
