Task Analysis
Task Analysis
For my task analysis, I chose to do a topic analysis. I chose a topic analysis because I want my
learners to gain information on different topics a part of being a digital citizen. The needs and
goals of my instructional problem are to provide learners with informational activities and videos
to learn about digital citizenship. The assessments provide the learners with opportunities to
demonstrate and evaluate their knowledge.
To complete my task analysis, I went through the activities of each lesson the students would
complete.
Objective 2: Students will be able to define the concept of a digital footprint while identifying
ways to create a positive and negative footprint. Students will demonstrate their knowledge
through exploration, discussion questions, and summative assessments.
Assessments
The students will begin the unit by completing a pre-assessment quiz to determine their prior
knowledge about digital citizenship.
Students will be able to demonstrate their knowledge during each lesson by creating a discussion
post in response to a question reflecting each day’s activities. The students will have a discussion
post rubric to help guide the creation of their responses.
1. What would you do if you forget to log off of your computer and someone goes on under
your name?
2. What should you do if you feel you are being cyberbullied?
3. Someone you don’t know asks for your email address. Is this safe? Why or why not?
During the second lesson, students will complete a check in formative assessment after the
digital etiquette video to assess their knowledge at this point.
The students will end the unit by completing a post-assessment quiz to evaluate their knowledge
on the material covered in the unit. The post-assessment is the same as the pre-assessment,
however it includes a scenario open-ended response for the students to apply the information
they have learned.
