About

Adina’s Deck is a new Internet Safety  DVD series designed for the classroom. In each episode, savvy characters solve contemporary problems including: cyber bullying, online predators, and plagiarism.

Each episode includes bonus documentaries with experts who speak more in depth about the topics. Students watch these, along with the films and become inspired to make smart choices while online.

Adina’s Deck was designed and tested at Stanford University. After testing the shows with over 150 students between the ages of 10-15, significant and substantial evidence showed improvement about the topics of cyber bullying from the perspective of the bully, victim and by-standard.
