The Platform
DiGii Social provides Year 5 and 6 children with an engaging and educational social-media-like experience where the expectation of complex learning allows for and encourages failing-forwards. As children engage in real social-media life, their interactions form an always and forever, often unfortunate, one-day-employer-accessible digital résumé.
DiGii allows and guides a child through what is often messy learning about establishing their identity online – a springboard for online life.
Through interactions, moderations, prompts, challenges and tutorials, every child is guaranteed to learn skills vital to their lifelong DiGiital health, personal and social safety. As an educational tool, DiGii’s child platform is only available to students during the school day and is secure within each school, with no outside access – even by parents. A Parent Dashboard is available round-the clock, with no access to the children’s platform.

DiGiiTs
DiGii Social has its own economy, where points are awarded for great DiGiiTal citizenship and are removed for poor online behaviour. These points are called DiGiiTs and they buy all sorts of privileges on the platform. Banks of stickers, GIFs, banners and filters can be purchased as a return for good online behaviour. To replicate the many complexities of online social comparisons and competitions, children are also able to use their DiGiiTs to buy privileges and gifts for others. On DiGii Social’s supportive platform, as children secure friendships and favours with the trading of privileges and presents, they’re taught about how this may impact others. Essential early learning for later online life.
Reporting
Children can report all forms of content on the platform, either posted by the platform itself through educational challenges or by other children if they feel that the content is inappropriate, hurtful or worrying. Children are encouraged to use the reporting system when educational challenges are posted by the platform. Knowing how and when to report is an essential online skill.
Help-Seeking
On the DiGii platform, there is regular reinforcement for children to reach out for help when they need it. There are a number of ways a child can ask for help on DiGii Social, not only in terms of platform functionality but also when a friend needs help or maybe they need help themselves. DiGii Social is always ready to help. Traning a child to seek help is one of the strongest most protective skills we can give them ahead of teen-life.
