In this unit, students will gain an awareness of what it means to have a digital footprint. Students will explore their digital reputation, rules of netiquette, digital communities, educational networking, and cyberbullying.
You will be challenged to take perspective on the opportunities and potential pitfalls of the digital world. Lessons will use rich discussions and ethical debates to cover the digital literacy and citizenship topics
including relationships, identity, respect, and privacy. Furthermore, the lessons highlight how teens can be mindful when curating their digital footprints and how they can take ownership of their digital roles by using
today’s technologies to create, publish, and share their
own creative work.
