Meeting students online
Lucas
I always feel a bit nervous before I speak to new people on video calls. To make it easier, I usually hold my favourite guitar. I tell the class that I love playing music in my free time. Sometimes, I play a very short song for them. I don't use any special pictures behind me. I just sit in my bedroom. My teacher says I should speak slowly, so I try my best to do that. It is fun to meet students from other countries.
Mia
When I introduce myself, I like to make everyone laugh. I always choose a funny photo to put on the screen behind me. Last week, I used a picture of a monkey! I don't play any instruments, so I just talk about my life. I always show a nice photo of my cat, Snowball. She often sleeps on my desk during the class. I also talk about my favourite food. I love learning about what teenagers in other parts of the world eat.
Kenji
In my first zoom class, I usually teach everyone how to say 'hello' in my language. It is a great way to start! Then, I talk about my big family. I have three brothers and two sisters, so our house is always noisy. I don't show pictures of my pets because I don't have any. At the end of my turn, I always ask the other students a simple question. I want to know about their favourite sports or hobbies.

Your Life on the Internet
Playing Games Online
Do you like playing computer games with other people? It is fun to chat with gamers from all over the world. But remember, you don't know them in real life. When you play, you should always use a made-up name. Never tell anyone your real name or your address. You also shouldn't talk about the place where you go to school. If someone asks you for this information, tell your parents or a teacher immediately. Stay safe and enjoy your game!
Sharing Your Photos
Many teenagers love putting photos of their holidays or pets on the internet. Before you do this, you must check who can see your page. Make sure only your family and friends can look at it. When you get a friend request, only say yes if you actually know that person. Also, if you take a photo of your friends, ask them first before you put it on the internet. They might not want everyone to see it.
Writing on Websites
Do you like reading blogs or leaving messages on websites? You must think carefully before you write anything. Remember that anyone can read your words. You should always be kind and say nice things to other people. Sometimes we write things and change our minds later. It is a good idea to look at your old messages. You can remove anything that you don't want people to read today. Always think about the digital footprint you leave behind.

Gaming and Real Life
Leo
At school, I am a very quiet person. I do not talk much in class, and I feel shy when I meet new people. But in my favourite online game, I am completely different. I am the captain of a big team. I have to tell everyone what to do and make quick plans. I feel very brave and strong when I play. My online friends think I am very loud! It is fun to be a different person on the internet.
Maya
In real life, I am always very serious. I spend a lot of time doing my homework and reading books for school. I worry about my exams a lot. However, when I turn on my computer, I change. My gaming character wears funny clothes, and I tell a lot of jokes to the other players. Playing games makes me feel calm and happy. I do not think about my studies at all. It is my favourite way to relax after a long day.
Toby
Some of my friends act like completely different people online, but I do not. I think my real-life personality and my gaming persona are exactly the same. At home and at school, I always try to be friendly and kind. In the game, I do the same thing. If a new player does not understand the rules, I always take the time to teach them. I like giving people things they need in the game. I just want everyone to have a good time.
