She has been working on a cartoon video series for school children (9-12 years old) to illustrate the dangers of online bullying and teach through animation online information evaluation.
‘Maddie is Online’ #maddiesonline is a free educational resource which narrates the everyday life story of Maddie, a fictitious 10-year-old girl, who goes through some troubles while connected online.
