In this lesson students will watch a video about polite Internet behavior (netiquette). They will engage in a class discussion about proper online behavior.

Students explore multiple forms of digital etiquette and citizenship. They research current events based around digital concerns and innovations. Eventually, they apply that knowledge to their own lives and use of technology to develop 5 top guidelines for digital device usage for their peers. Students share their presentations and projects in an exhibit-style venue. Using a survey, students vote for their top choices, eventually selecting one choice to implement.Standards:CCSS English Language Arts (Grade 8) Ohio Standards for Technology

This is a Digital Citizenship Unit of Instruction for 5th Grade students.This lesson focuses on teaching students to identify clues in order to determine if an information source is credible, use questions and conversation in order to evaluate the credibility of an information source, and understand the importance of checking a source's credibility in order to effectively navigate information sources.

This detailed lesson plan integrates digital citizenship education with the curricular goal of understanding how characters respond to challenges, providing a comprehensive approach that any teacher can use to facilitate meaningful learning experiences.

Use this "THINK!" image and have a discussion with your students to remind them of polite and appropriate online behavior when they are commenting or posting.  (This image can also be shared with your students online via Canvas, Google Classroom, Seesaw or other remote learning environment!)I created this using Google Drawings.  The file can be found here for you to copy and edit: Think Poster
