Digital Citizenship in Grade 5
In the last weeks of December 2011, I ran two Digital Citizenship Lessons with Grade 5′s. We followed the Common Sense Media Lesson Plans. One of the lessons was about Rings of Responsibility. Throughout the lesson, we brainstormed on our offline and online communities we feel responsible to in our school, neighborhood, city, social networking websites, email, etc. Students continued with a game where they formed the circles of responsibilty and asked eachother questions about their responsibilities towards others. As a follow up activity they created a Digital Super Hero and created a comic strip in which their super digital hero sees an act of poor Digital Citizenship and fixes the problem. Please have a look at what they have done. They came up with very detailed and thoughtful ideas and their illustrations are amazing! Very creative Grade 5! Well done!
