Digital Citizenship
Introduction:
The internet is used for many positive activities; however, kids face some serious risks, such as online predators, cyberbullying, and consequences from revealing too much personal information. You can encounter these during school research, chatting with friends, or updating your social network pages. So how do you deal with it?
Task: Learn about bullying and cyberbullying to:
Ø Articulate what is known about a topic, problem, or question
Ø Predict answers to inquiry questions based on background knowledge and beginning observations or experiences
Ø With guidance formulate questions about the topic
Ø Draw conclusions based on facts and premises
Ø Experiment with text and visual media to create products
Ø Respect privacy of others (e-mail, files, passwords, book checkout, etc.)
Ø Use technology applications to create documents and visualizations of new learning
Process:
Week 1: Introduction, Brainpop Jr. Netiquette video and discussion. Play Privacy Playground. Exit ticket on your whiteboard - Create a secure password using numbers, capitals and symbols.
Week 2: Watch Faux Paw's Internet Safety with Miss Nieznay. Watch Netsmartz's Bad Netiquette Stinks independently. Then create a comic strip showing bad netiquette and the solution at the Cloud Chaos. Exit ticket - your completed comic.
Week 3: Pick up a handout and begin this Thinkquest to learn about bullying and what you can do to Pacer Center! Exit ticket on your whiteboard - One thing you learned today.
Week 4: Play to learn using Netsmartz or FBI Safe Surfing.
Week 5 & 6: Create a short story on Storybird about a cyberbully and a super hero. Exit ticket - Proper save and close technique.
Conclusion:
Cyberbullying and its consequences continue to impact young people daily. Students have gotten into fights, lost friendships and worst as a result of cyberbullying. This problem is only getting worse and it must be Stopped NOW! It is serious. Take a stand against cyberbullying with your classmates. Students will listen to other students more quickly than they will listen to an adult.
