DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP

 

When creating and responding to each other’s e-Portfolios, students must be aware of how they use their “Digital Citizenship”, much like common courtesy when dealing with people in the community.

So…What is Digital Citizenship?  Think about and discuss the many ways we use the Internet…and by the way, whenever you type the word Internet, the “I” is capitalized.  Reflect on a time when you did something on the Internet that you wish you hadn’t done or could take back.

 

 

Assignment

Go to Glogster and sign up for your class account. The teacher code is: 6U74AD.  Remember your login should follow the class format (lastnamefirstname…Lastname + four digit password). Once you are registered, search for Digital Citizenship or Internet Safety Glogs.  Look at and interact with some of the Glogs you find.  Then create your own Glog by creating an interactive Poster for Online Safety Awareness.  Make sure you include at least one video and that everything on your poster is linked to either actual case studies or information that’s useful for teenagers or small children.  Keep your theme the same; if your audience is elementary children, make sure all the links are appropriate for that age group.  I have included a sample game that would be appropriate for younger children to give you an idea of what I mean.  Remember, other people will come across your Glog so be sure your links work and that the information is factual, relevant, and age appropriate; also name it something relevant NOT “My First Glog”.

Glogster is FREEWARE so you can also work on this assignment from home.
