Digital Citizenship

Jessica Bick

Digital Citizenship Curriculum 

    When thinking about what digital citizenship, I think it should include how students can be safe and appropriate while online, information about cyberbullying and how to monitor your digital footprint and personal privacy. I did not come up with the complete idea of Rings of Responsibility. I feel that teaching about being safe and appropriate is important for students to be responsible. I did not consider that would include students taking responsibility for their actions and understanding how their behavior can affect others. Digital citizenship pledge was another category that I did not think about it. Now it makes sense to have students create pledges to follow therefore allowing them to develop a sense of community and achievement of their goals. Also, I did not think about the category of seeing is believing. I think it is something that should be taught to students because they should be aware that people may not be real and can alter photographs and videos.

Age Band

8-11

     I decided to focus on learners that are 8-11 because most of my third graders fall under that age band.

2.a. Students demonstrate an understanding of the role an online identity plays in the digital world and learn the permanence of their decisions when interacting online. 

     A student could demonstrate their understanding of this standard by using Flipgrid. After talking with students about this standard, how they want to be portrayed, their self-image and reputation, we would use Flipgrid to share about ourselves and comment respectfully with one another.

2.b. Students practice and encourage others in safe, legal and ethical behavior when using technology and interacting online, with guidance from an educator. 

      For this lesson, I would have students collaborate and create a map using Popplet. Students could collaborate, communicate and be respectful while working with a peer to respond to a reading prompt using Popplet.

2.c. Students learn about, demonstrate and encourage respect for intellectual property with both print and digital media when using and sharing the work of others. 

     In third grade, we focus a lot about giving credit to the author or source of information. Prior to the lesson, students would watch a quick video about why and how to cite sources. One lesson that students can demonstrate their understanding of this standard would be when students are researching about a country and cite their sources. We utilize online resources to find information about different countries. After students take notes, they write paragraphs in their own words and cite their sources. 

                    

2.d. Students demonstrate an understanding of what personal data is, how to keep it private and how it might be shared online. 

     For this lesson, students would watch a video about private and personal information. Then we would discuss what information the students share while they are online.  

   

     

Reflection

      I decided to try LessonUp as an engaging presentation tool. I want to be able to try different tools, that may be helpful in the classroom and possibly to use virtually. It has a lot of options and seems like a good resource to present lessons to students. Also, I was able to create a poster for prompt C on Canva and include it in my presentation. Another good feature of this website is that I am able to share my lessons and presentations through Google Classroom.
