Who are these online safety cards for?

Teachers, counselors and SLPs working with teens and young adults in special education, life skills and transition programs. The situations are real phone and screen moments, written at a plain reading level without childish framing, for students from about 13 to 21.

Do the cards show the correct answer?

No. The cards carry the situation and three responses only; the expected choice and the why line live on a separate teacher key page. The choices are rotated so the right answer is not always A.

What if a student tells me something real during a card?

The teacher page says what to do: stop the activity, do not question further, follow your school's policy and your state's mandated-reporter duty the same day, and do not delete messages or accounts before reporting. It names the CyberTipline and the FBI routes for exploitation reports.

Does this replace our school's internet-safety curriculum?

No. It supplements it. The cards practice the safe move in the moment; your official curriculum and policy stay the authority, and the teacher guide says so.

Does this cover digital citizenship?

It covers online safety: strangers, pressure, scams, permissions and fake accounts. It does not teach digital footprint, giving credit or judging a source, which is why it is not called a digital citizenship deck.

Twenty what-would-you-do online safety cards for teens: real phone and screen situations with three responses each, a teacher answer key kept off the student cards, a My Trusted Adults wallet card, a Red Flags quick reference, a teacher page with the reporting routes, a reusable 20-row data sheet, a portfolio sheet, and two copy-paste IEP goals.

Instant download after checkout. No account needed.

A phone throws moments at a student that no worksheet covers: a stranger asking for an address, a mean message, a request for a photo, an app asking for everything at once. These twenty cards practice exactly those moments. Each card is a real situation with three responses; the answers live on a separate teacher key, so the cards work for independent reading without giving anything away. The same deck runs at three levels, from choosing a response, to explaining why it works, to showing the move on a real device. Every card page carries one line for the student who has already been there: you are not in trouble. A My Trusted Adults wallet card, a Red Flags quick reference and a teacher page with the reporting routes make it caseload-ready.
