In this lesson on digital citizenships the overall learning objective is how to identify credible sources and links online. A teacher will need a projector and internet access minimally. Through the use of youtube videos, class discussion, and a whole class analysis of websites, student will begin to understand what makes a credible resources or link. Students will gain the ability to implement the rule of 3 and rank the reliability of websites to ensure personal safety and develop the ability to identify accurate information.
This is a lesson that I can implement with my students at the beginning of the school year. I teach 6th graders who are getting their first computers for school and often have had no instruction on digital citizenship. My students do get introduced to digital citizenship in their technology class, but that is not enough. As educators internet safety is something that we all should be educating our students about to insure their safety and that they are accessing quality information from credible sources.
