Dr Konstantina (Dina) Martzoukou is an academic at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, Scotland, researching information and digital literacy. She has been working on a cartoon video series for school children (9-12 years old) to illustrate the dangers of online bullying and teach through animation online information evaluation.
‘Maddie is Online’ #maddiesonline is a free educational resource which narrates the everyday life story of Maddie, a fictitious 10-year-old girl, who goes through some troubles while connected online.
Dina is looking to partner with schools and libraries to pilot the cartoon videos. Please get in touch with Dina directly if you are interested to test them out in your school with a brief evaluation questionnaire that can be done online.
