Digital footprint and identity
In this lesson, students explore the amazing possibilities that come with using technology. They'll also learn from the “digital citizens,” who take a pledge to be safe, responsible and respectful when traveling through the online world.
Cyberbullying, digital drama and hate speech
The internet is filled with all kinds of interesting people, but sometimes, some of them can be mean to each other. With this role play, students will understand why it's often easier to be mean online than in person, and how to deal with online meanness when they see it.
News and media literacy
With so much information at our fingertips, students learn what it means to "give credit" when using content they find online. Taking on the role of a detective, students learn why it's important to give credit and the right ways to do it when they use words, images or ideas that belong to others.
Privacy and security
Staying safe online is a lot like staying safe in the real world. By helping a “digital citizen” sign up for a new app, students learn about the kinds of information they should keep to themselves when they use the internet--just as they would with a stranger in person.
Media balance and well-being
Technology use isn't always a distraction, but there are times when it's best to keep devices away. In this lesson, students learn when it's appropriate to use technology and when it's not--and practice making family rules for device-free time at home.
Relationships and communication
We are all connected to the internet! By learning the Rings of Responsibility, students explore how the internet connects us to people in our community and throughout the world. In this lesson, students will learn to think critically about the different ways they connect with others, both in person and online.
