The Web Trap – Education Guide transforms a fast-paced adventure story into a practical learning framework for teaching digital citizenship, media literacy, and social-emotional skills to upper elementary and middle-grade learners.

Structured to follow the chapters of The Web Trap, the guide provides educators and families with ready-to-use lesson components, including discussion prompts, reflective questions, and creative activities that encourage critical thinking, empathy, collaboration, and self-awareness. Most activities are deliberately designed to be tech-free, making the guide suitable for classrooms, libraries, and homeschool settings with limited or no screen use.

Grounded in constructivist pedagogy and aligned with the ISTE Standards for Students, the guide supports learners in becoming empowered digital citizens, thoughtful knowledge constructors, and responsible collaborators. Adaptation strategies are included to ensure accessibility for diverse learning needs and instructional contexts.

Downloadable worksheets, cards, rubrics, and illustrations are available through the author's website (www,casperpieters.com), extending the guide into a complete, flexible learning ecosystem.

Designed for regular use, The Web Trap – Education Guide helps young learners explore how technology can shape relationships, attention, and identity—while building the skills needed to navigate digital life with balance and empathy.
