Internet Safety Scenarios. Internet safety, personal information protection, and personal conduct online are critical elements of Digital Citizenship. As students spend more time online, they will encounter people and situations that will be difficult to handle. It is important that they consider appropriate, well-reasoned, and self-protecting actions and reactions when they come across this situations.
I use this set of scenarios with Middle and High School students to get them to think how they would react or deal with various real-life internet safety and digital conduct situations. I will often put them into groups and then ask them to report out their thoughts, which leads to a classwide socrative discussion.
I work as an Educational Technology consultant at International EdTech committed to helping schools use technology successfully. I frequently present at conferences on Educational Leadership, Learning Technology, IT, and Data Systems. I am also a a published author focusing on Educational Technology, International Education, and Leadership.
Would you be okay with my school using your nine scenarios for a digital citizenship class? Thank you
Yes, please do. And go ahead and share them with colleagues at other schools.
Also, I provide Digital Citizenship consultation for schools where I help them integrate DigCit across the curriculum and certify teachers. Take a look: http://internationaledtech.com/consulting_services/digital_citizenship/
