Examining Digital Citizenship Inside and Outside
The Classroom
The goal of this lesson is to ensure that the students
have a sophisticated understanding of digital
citizenship, online etiquette, and positive posting.
I would like to make sure I address each student by
name during this activity, in order to cultivate a
safe and welcoming classroom environment. I also
want to ensure that I speak clearly throughout the
activity, and manage the classroom well (i.e. ensure
that instructions are being followed by maintaining
an on-task attitude). I hope to be firm with
instructions and keep the students focused on the
task, while seamlessly bridging various activities.
Finally, I want to ENGAGE the students by
maintaining high energy and enthusiasm
throughout the lesson.

LEARNING ACTIVITY 1: Oversharing- YouTube Video & Think Pair Share
Introduction/Warm-Up
Welcome students to class and ask them what they thought about the reading (completed the
previous class). Follow this up by introducing a concept that should already be familiar to the
students: Facebook! Ask the students questions regarding the topic as an opener. For example:

4 minutes
Explain that next class the students will be creating a type of Facebook page. However, before
one can explore the online world, one must be acquainted with the rules of that world. Project
the following video on the Smartboard to illustrate this point:

Closure/Wrap-Up
15 minutes
After the video watching, have the student open their laptops and do a freewrite. A freewrite is
not evaluated for vocabulary or spelling, but for content. Be sure to illustrate this point to the
students. Have them, individually, think and write about the following questions:
Once the students have been given 5 minutes to complete their freewrite, have them pair up
with the student next to them to share their ideas. Finally, have the pairs of students present their
top comment, question, or idea to the class.
Extension/Whats Next?
Explain that the rules of social media usage that have been demonstrated throughout this video
are not simply useful for our in-class activity, but throughout their lives.

Development
It is important to remember that a PowerPoint presentation can be taxing for the students if there
is no component for them to engage with. Therefore, I have designed my PowerPoint so that it is
clear, with minimal writing, and maximum visuals, to appeal to a variety of different learners. I
will have specific students re-enact a particular social media conversion, to illustrate poor social
media etiquette. This will help maintain student interest. I also provide examples of inspiring
social media websites for the students to check out, in order to ensure that the students are not
scared of using social media, but can do so knowledgably. There is also a slide that
demonstrates a real-life example of social media etiquette taken directly from the classes
Edmodo account. When students see their own names on the presentation, or the names of
their peers, this will incite interest as well.
Closure/Wrap-Up
The PowerPoint deals with a variety of topics pertaining to cyberbullying, online safety, and
etiquette. It will give the students an introduction and basic understanding of digital citizenship.
Extension/Whats Next?
This activity seamlessly leads to the next, which challenges ones idea of privacy on the internet.

We will then transition into a wrap-up of everything we have gone over during the period, and
explain how this new knowledge they have acquired pertaining to digital citizenship will help
them make better choices when engaging with social media, and make them more aware of
potentially dangerous usages of this same social media. I will then ensure to elicit interest for the
following lessons activity, which will consist of the students using social media to construct a
Fakebook profile for a character of Shakespeares A Midsummer Nights Dream.
