What Are We Doing In School?
In Each Class We Will Do The Following Activity:
Students will be asked to sit in circles, which depict the “Rings of Responsibility.” In order to explore the responsibilities they have to themselves, friends and family, and larger communities, both offline and online.
Through this activity students will be asked to:
reflect upon their offline responsibilities.
examine their online responsibilities.
learn that good digital citizens are responsible and respectful in the digital world (and beyond).
determine how we can be responsible, respectful, and safe in both our online and offline communities.
Once this activity is completed, the students will write a response that will show their understanding of being a true digital citizen.
