Last week in ICT we did a lesson that we should
have done at the very beginning of the year… Digital Citizenship. But like they
say, it’s better late than never, right?
Digital Citizenship such an important concept
for kids these days because they have access to EVERYTHING on the net and well,
there’s a lot of bad stuff out there. Especially important is this idea that
you leave a digital footprint when you post anything online. A lot of people
don’t truly understand what that means in today’s world. The things we post can
be checked when applying for jobs and college, which can seriously help or hurt
our chances. For this lesson, I found a really great post on edmodo that was a
slideshow with video clips and a short quiz. The slideshow was created by
Michele Alvarez (thanks, Michele!) using a website called mentormob.com, which
I’ve never heard of but am very excited to explore. Check out her creation
here:
After my students completed the slideshow, I had them create a short animated video on animoto.com about digital citizenship to show me that they understood what it meant. Here’s one of my students’ videos on digital citizenship. Hope you’re having a great weekend and happy browsing!
