Common misconception
Children clearly understand whether they are sharing something online or not.
At a young age, it is easy for young people to share images and videos by accident. Their understanding of the complexity and vastness of the internet will be limited.
Find an article or social media post from someone who lives in a different country. Discuss how easily an image or text can be shared around the world.
