Digital citizenship refers to the responsible use of technology and the internet. It involves understanding how to interact safely and respectfully online. This includes knowing how to protect personal information, recognizing the impact of our words and actions on others, and being aware of the consequences of our online behavior.
Imagine a classmate receives a mean message on social media. Discuss as a class how this situation could make the classmate feel and what actions could be taken. For example, they could report the message, talk to a trusted adult, or support their friend by standing up against bullying. This example illustrates the importance of being kind and respectful online.
In pairs, students will role-play different online scenarios, such as receiving a friend request from someone they don’t know or seeing a friend post something inappropriate. After each role-play, the class will discuss what the characters did well and what could have been done differently to promote respectful behavior and safety.
Students will write a short paragraph reflecting on their own online habits. They should identify one area where they can improve, such as being more respectful in comments or protecting their personal information. Each student will set a small, achievable goal for the week and share it with a partner to encourage accountability.
