Day 1: Introduce Digital Citizenship. Pass out Are you Web Aware? survey to students. Have them answer
questions. Go over results together and talk about the importance of being safe online. Then have students
watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2eRQN9zjxk together. Use todaysmeet.com to have students
discuss what they felt to be the most important lesson they learned from the video.
Day 2: Watch this digital citizenship video: https://vimeo.com/6709512 Hand out footprint page and have
students write down all of the online activities they do in one week. The students should then exchange
footprints with a partner and discuse their similarities and differences. Then, as a class, discuss the online
activities they listed as part of the footprint activity. Create a class "Digital Footprint" word cloud using
Tagxedo.com. To do this, follow these directions: Under the "Shapes" option, choose the image of the footprint.
Next, go into the "Load" option at the top of the screen. In the "Enter Text" box, enter all of the online
activities students identified earlier in the lesson. In the "Word/Layout Options" select "Layout" > "Allow
Replication" >"Yes". When you are finished, go to "Save/Share". Save the image as a JPG to your computer.
You can then print the footprint and display it in the classroom.

Day 3: Begin the day by reviewing what we have learned so far about digital citizenship. Play
Netiquette off Brainpop.com and complete the quiz together. The students can participate by
putting their answers on a whiteboard. Begin the lesson by saying you are going to be sharing
several scenarios that could happen in real life. Their job is to take time to think about the scenario
and how they would react. They need to write their responses on a piece of paper for each scenario.
Inform them that the next day they will be sharing a blog post with other students on one scenario.
Day 4: Begin by reviewing the scenarios that were shared yesterday:
Scenario 1:
Your teacher has set-up a blog activity and has asked each person to respond to a classmate's post.
You decide to post a "funny" response to a friend's post using a fake account.
Scenario 2:
You spend 30 minutes on the computer before school in the morning, play games on the internet at
recess, and watch Youtube videos until supper.
Scenario 3:
You find an embarrassing photo of your sister and decide to email it to a friend.
Scenario 4:
You leave to go outside for recess and forget to logout of your computer account.
After reviewing, have the students pull out their responses. Have them choose a scenario that they
feel they connected with most. They will go to Voki.com to create an avatar and type their response
into the Text to speech box. The class will share these at the end of the lesson.
Day 5: Watch and discuss as a class the video http://www.commoncraft.com/video/protectingreputations-online. Then have the students watch the Brain pop on Information Privacy
independently. Have them raise their hand when they are done and show you their score. If they did
not get 100%, have them review their answers and retake the quiz.
Day 6: Introduce CyberBullying- Have each student create a KWL chart and fill it in with the topic
being CyberBullying. Discuss what the students say the Know about the topic and what they want
to know. Then, Ask the following questions to the class: What is cyberbullying? What does cyber
mean? How can you bully online? What is the same/different about bullying and cyberbullying? Do
students know someone whos been cyberbullied? Can you be cyberbullied on Xbox or Instagram or
similar programs? Use todaysmeet.com to have them submit their answers to each other and then
share their thinking and the correct answer together.
Day 7-Begin the lesson by playing Brainpop.com, Cyberbullying. Have students complete the
activity, graphic organizer, and vocabulary page through brainpop. The students should each have
their own Chromebook at their desk to complete these tasks individually.
Day 8- Have students take out their chromebooks and go to the website
http://humanservices.alberta.ca/badguypatrol/. They will go through the activities for the day. After
they have completed the activity, they will go to take an online quiz from
