About The Tweeting Galah series

The Tweeting Galah is a collection of short stories addressing cyber safety issues for children. Their goal is to educate young digital citizens through storytelling.

Join Gabbo, the cheeky galah from Western Australia, and his furry and feathery friends, as they learn how to navigate the world of social media, online gaming and digital devices.

The series is written by West Australian Digital Technologies Educator, Kim Maslin. Each book is vibrantly illustrated by West Australian artist, John Field.

These cyber safety stories will delight young readers, while serving as important conversation starters for parents and teachers.

Designed for the classroom

Planning Digital Technologies lessons doesn’t have to be complicated, or cost a fortune in fancy robotics equipment. The Tweeting Galah series is designed to work as its own standalone lessons... they are literally ready to just grab-n-go!

Created by an experienced educator, The Tweeting Galah is aligned with the Digital Technologies, Protective Behaviours, Health, English and Digital Literacy Capability curriculum. Suitable for primary school students, Years 1 - 6.

Each story addresses a contemporary cyber safety issue relevant to today’s children (Aesop's Fable-style). These issues include: posting online (digital footprint), online stranger danger, screen time balance, photo permissions, viewing inappropriate content, cyber bullying, gaming, trolling, online privacy and virtual learning. Each story concludes with reflection questions to guide classroom discussion - ensuring students have the chance to reflect on each topic.
