The Picture Not Worth Sharing
What happens when a joke leaves the room and takes on a life of its own? At talent show rehearsal, Toby's magic act ends with his head stuck in his jumper and the whole hall laughing, Toby included. Then a photo of that exact second lands in the class group chat, with a caption, and it starts to travel. Maya forwards it before she has even thought about it. Otto, the very confident chatbot in the story, insists that sharing funny photos makes you more popular. But when Toby's small, flat reply appears, Maya realises the joke no longer belongs to him, and that she is part of the very case she must solve. Written to support online-safety learning in UK schools, mapped to the relevant strands of the curricula across all four UK nations. No real AI is used and no data is collected. Priced low so teachers can afford class copies.
