GLMS 612: Asynchronous Digital Citizenship Activity - Planning Sheet

Name: Christine Lopez

What area of digital citizenship are you addressing through your activity? Why do you believe
it is important to provide instruction in this area?
In meeting with many classes and speaking with teachers, privacy and security were areas of
concern. This year students are asked to use their login information more than ever before
and teachers have been expressing that students often forget passwords or share passwords
with other students. They have had issues with students signing on under other students’
accounts and voiced this issue with administration and with myself as the librarian. Because
of this concern, I decided to address privacy online and security with passwords and
accounts. I wanted to create something that the teachers could easily use with their students
or assign to their students to work on independently. If this lesson is successful, I may create
another page on my library website not just about privacy and security, but about Digital
Citizenship overall and include more of these asynchronous lessons for my staff and the
students in our school community.

What age group will your activity be designed for?

I am gearing this lesson for grades 3 and 4 since these are the grade levels that expressed the
most concern. The links provided and additional materials, however, can be used by the
entire school community. There are scaffolded activities for all learners in elementary school.

What standard(s) from the AASL Standards Framework for Learners does your activity
address?
VI.A.1. Responsibly applying information, technology, and media to learning.

VI.A.2. Understating the ethical use of information, technology and media.

VI.D.1. Personalizing their use of information and information technologies.

VI.D.3. Inspiring others to engage in safe, responsible, ethical, and legal information
behaviors.

How do you envision your activity being completed? Ex: library sub plans, at-home family
activity, students complete independently outside of school, etc.?
My hope in creating this activity is to have it used independently outside of school with the
majority of my school community, but for the teachers who expressed concern with digital
citizenship, I’m hoping they can use it as an activity to teach the skill in the classroom or
provide it as homework after a lesson is taught in class. The teacher can remind the students
of my website and make the materials available on my site available on their Google
Classroom page. If they made their own copy of the activity posted, they’d be able to also
share it to Google Classroom and thereby track student success with the activity.
What technology will be utilized in creation of your asynchronous activity?
Common Sense Education’s Digital Citizenship lessons were used as a reference for this
activity. Canva was used for the lesson/presentation of the material as well as the site
Slidesmania. Weebly is the site I use for my own library website and Google Classroom can
be used by teachers to share this activity. Google Slides were used for the independent
activity. Seesaw was used to create an activity for early childhood students. Various websites
will be used for the challenges or additional resources, such as thinkuknow.co.uk and
security.org. All are listed in the Works Cited page.

How will you publicize your activity, or direct learners to where this activity can be
completed?
A link to my website is given to all teachers and students at the beginning of the year. It is
also featured on my school’s website. Additionally, I will share that the resource is available
with staff so that teachers who want to highlight the activity to teach it in their class have the
link to the activity. I also plan to try some of these lessons out next week since they are using
my library for PD sessions for staff. I’m eager to adapt the lessons from PreK-5 and use the
resources on the website to try the lessons out. I plan on providing a link to the activities on
Seesaw or Google Classroom (one is used primarily with the lower grades and one with the
upper grades).

How is student participation built into the activity?

The student can interact on the page with the entire activity. First, they will view the lesson
that teaches them about internet privacy and security. They then will interact with the
activities that are self-directed. These are self-paced and can be accessed by pressing the link
on the website or by clicking on a link provided directly on Seesaw or on Google Classroom.
Additionally, they have choices of challenges to try after the independent work that is
associated with the lesson.

What takeaways pertaining to digital citizenship topics do you hope students gain through
participation in your activity?
I hope that students become more savvy digital citizens who understand that private
information does not belong online. I also hope they realize that they should not share
passwords with others and keep their information safe. I also want them to understand that
they need to be as careful online as they are in the real world and that strangers online are
just the same as strangers they’d meet in real life. I want them to be able to be responsible,
safe, and smart when online, especially since they are online and interacting online at a very
young age, some without adult supervision. I also want them to be aware that they have an
obligation to not only keep their own information safe but information of others, too. They
need to ask permission before posting pictures of friends or stories of friends. They have an
obligation and responsibility to be careful with other’s personal information, too.
Provide MLA citations for all the resources you referenced in creation of your activity (these
references should be provided in the activity as well, in order to properly give credit to your
sources).
