Wow! I haven't even finished watching the Brainpop video on Digital Etiquette, and I already have so many thoughts running through my head. I have come across a couple of "trolls" online. It is very off-putting and upsets me when I see "flaming" comments. I really wish some people would think a little more before posting their thoughts.
Luckily, the first unit in Social Studies for 1st grade is citizenship. This would be the perfect time to talk about being a "citizen of the digital world." After teaching what it means to be a citizen of the class, school, and community, I would introduce the term digital citizenship. After guiding the kids a bit, they should see the connection of being a good "digital" citizen. Then, I would show different videos on Brainpop and, through shared writing, create an anchor chart of "How to be a smart digital citizen."
My Top 3 Things to Teach:
1) Digital etiquette
2) Blogging
3) Searching online sources
