Description

As educators and parents, we understand the need of cell phones for our adolescents and teens, but we also see the results and dramatic risks of inappropriate usage. Only through educating our students about the risks of cyberbullying, 'sexting', and academic cheating can we help our students make informed decisions about responsible cell phone behavior and keep them safe.

It's Your Call is an interactive game that invites your students to play out difficult situations through the online program before they live them out in real life. Targeted to teens, this game offers guidance about responsible behavior and teaches them how to use technology to enhance their personal safety. In this interactive game, students become a live-action character and are challenged to make a series of difficult decisions in a slice-of-life context. Following these decisions, your students view the consequences of their actions within the context of this interactive video. Regardless of the outcome in the game, users learn important lessons about cell phone safety and responsibility.

It's Your Call was created in cooperation with Web Wise Kids, Verizon and the ESA Foundation.
