With today's sessions in mind, what are some ways you can teach digital citizenship and/ or cyber safety in class? What kinds of lessons or activities do you have in mind?
I already integrate cyber safety in terms of my honors classes and Debate ELO. These classes incorporate the use of a blog where the students must create posts or upload videos/ media files. In order to protect their identities, we create their profiles together and generate user names that are easy to decipher yet give away no personal information.
Also, due to the public nature of Blogger, this is also an opportune time to discuss cyber etiquette in terms of communication.
This year, the Ninth Grade Acaademy ELA teachers tackled a mini unit on 'sexting' and social media cyber bullying.
I imagine future (more advanced) lessons concerning digital literacy, communication, and commerce will be incorporated within suspended curriculum, research, and presentation/ media resources.
