In this activity you will start a jigsaw group activity that will culminate in the next activity. Your final product will be to put together a series of wiki pages in which you review digital citizenship resources and make specific recommendations on how students could be educated about the associated issues.
In this activity you will do the research.
- Your tutor will place you into groups and invite you to the groups. An email message will announce when these groups are ready for you to join.
Once you have made contact with your group, discuss how you could break up the task of researching for a) information resources and b) educational resources for your topic. Note: by “educational resource” we mean resources that would assist in educating students about the topic.A good place to start with searching for educational resources is the curriculum of common sense media®. Register for access to the free educational resources on media literacy and digital citizenship.
Cable in the Classroom has links to good free resources on Safety and Ethics issues.
During the Digital Citizenship Week Edutopia produced a Technology Integration blog article Digital Citizenship Week: 6 Resources for Educators.
Search for further resources in your groups.
- Report back to your group and share your resources, giving reasons why you think they are credible and valuable.
- Decide who will write about which resources in the wiki, which you will do in the next lesson activity.
