Teaching kids about texting? Bring in teenagers

ESSEN, Germany - How do you teach tech-savvy kids to safely navigate the digital world? In Germany, you bring in the teenagers.

Chantal Hueben, 18, stands in front of a group of fifth-graders, asking them to brainstorm about the messaging program WhatsApp, which most are using to participate in a group chat for their class. They talk about themes like cyberbullying and what material is OK to post.

"Many are not really aware yet of the impact their messages can have on others," says Hueben. "We're teaching them not to post anything private on the class chat, not to send photos of others and not to insult anybody."
