In this lesson students will be introduced to essential vocabulary surrounding digital citizenship and digital safety, they will learn what is appropriate for online behavior and what types of personal information is safe to share online. Next, students will create their own poster explaining what responsible online behavior looks like and what kinds of information is safe to share online, this product can be created both digitally and/or on paper. The idea is to do the rough draft on paper and then create their poster through a digital format, however, depending on teacher preference, it can be done paper and pencil only.

In this lesson students will think about the many uses of technology in their own daily lives. We will also discuss how technology has changed through the years. Next, we will discuss technology's purpose and how the goal of technology is to make our lives easier. A google slides presentation has been included to help explain these concepts. Activity: Students will get a chance to compare and contrast a task both using technology and doing the same task without technology. Students will compare the differences for sending a message using technology and sending that same message with pencil and paper.

This is a quick lesson/ discussion about the changes in computing over time. You will discuss how we use technology today vs. how computers were used years ago. The class will then watch a fun video about children reacting to an old computer. As a class, you will continue the comparison conversation and close with a recap of what the students saw.
The discussion and video will take approximately 20 minutes.
To add to the discussion, you can create an anchor chart of past and present pros and cons. Student's can then write a journal entry on what was discussed in class.
*** This lesson can be adapted to suit multiple grade levels.

The students will copy and paste code snippets from Google Slides and run them on Replit. After students run the code, they will screenshot the images created using "import Turtle", a graphics program within Python. These screenshots will be used as a digital greeting card and students will practice composing emails. Lastly, students send/email their created digital artifacts to three of their friends or family members to wish them a "Happy New Year".*The image attached is just a sample and may or may not be what this lessons code creates.
