Children encounter digital technology from a young age. One-third of children aged six to 13 own a smartphone, and there is a clear need to teach them how to use this technology safely and responsibly. eSmart helps educators and school communities achieve this through resources and lesson plans that are evidence-based, age-appropriate, and aligned with the national curriculum.
Anyone can view, download and use eSmart modules and resources for free.
From social interactions to education and job opportunities, our children’s world is increasingly online. eSmart gives them the tools and confidence to navigate that world safely and responsibly.
eSmart is an initiative of the Alannah & Madeline Foundation. It was designed by digital literacy and online safety experts and informed by a co-design process with educators, students, and parents.
eSmart is completely funded by the Australian Government, so all the materials are free to view, use and download.
eSmart offers learning modules designed for children in Foundation through to Year 9. However, educators can explore how these resources can support students in other year levels, too.
All eSmart learning resources are aligned with the Australian National Curriculum v9. They are informed by multiple evidence-based learning frameworks, such as the eSafety Commissioner’s Best Practice Framework for Online Safety Education. Detailed information about how each of the modules aligns with specific learning areas and year levels can be found on the pages for individual programs and modules.
eSmart Schools is a whole-school program funded by the Victorian Government, and it is currently only available to Victorian schools. If you have signed up to become an eSmart school, we also encourage you to explore the wider eSmart resources available to all schools nationally.
The eSmart help desk operates from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, AEST, and can be reached by phone or email. We endeavour to respond to all queries within two business days.
