This fidget book was designed to be used in digital citizenship and internet safety lessons for elementary students. It has lesson supports, coloring pages, self-reflection guides and more. 

This is a lesson for first grade to talk about how technology has changed our lives over the years. I have it related to the first settlers and the experience they may have had if they had today's technology.  We also will discuss the technology we use today in our rooms vs what used to be used and how our behavior online can affect us even when people can't see us. 

    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.

Dive into the exciting world of augmented reality while exploring how to conserve our natural resources.  Get your creative juices flowing as you design your very own natural resource drawing and bring it to life using AR technology and apps.

1st grade students often struggle to relate to the experiences of others, to help them empathize with how obstacles make it harder to reach goals, they will work together to build towers out of various types of building toys. Each group will have an obstacle they must overcome, just like Maggie L. Walker overcame her obstacles and became a wonderful example of a good citizen! Students will learn and explore how to be a good digital citizen using internet safety. 

Teach students what it means to be a good citizen in this activity.  Students create the rules and then must follow them to accomplish a class activity.  

Students will learn a new vocabulary word - Responsibility.  Read a story about some responsible bugs and then brainstorm ideas for being responsible at home and in the classroom.

This poster is a resource to remind students to keep personal information secret while online.

Students will use seven KEVA planks and their creativity to build items specified by the teacher. The lesson is designed for lower primary.  Adapted from: KEVA Educator’s Guide  https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/f7460f98/files/uploaded/KEVA%20Educator%20Guide%20Lesson%20Plans.pdf

This slideshow reinforces the idea of being nice when using a computer and what to do if someone sends something to you that makes you feel uncomfortable.

This is a writing prompt choice board intended to be used in a writing center or station. In my classroom we typically use one choice board per week. Students choose up to 4 items to complete for the week. I do 4 items to give students time to finish incomplete work on Fridays, to work on final drafts, to edit a selected item, or to share their writing with peers. You can make the rules for your classroom to best suit your teaching style and your student's needs.

The choice board includes 8 prompts and one Student Choice square based on Impacts of Computing standards for first grade.

Please feel free to make a copy of the choice board and edit it to meet your specifications.
