In our ever more digital environment, it is very important for students (and adults) to evaluate their online presence. This is a great digital citizenship lesson that can lead to many rich conversations about their online presence and whether they are thinking critically about what they are posting, sharing, liking, etc.
In the past, I have had our students do an exercise where they predict what someone meeting them online for the first time would think of them.
Activity
1. Watch Positively Social
2. Assign Slide Deck
3. Walk them through the Slide Deck with the activities.
4. Let them work.
5. Discuss what they found and then talk about the concept of a Digital Footprint.
This exercise really gets them thinking about their presence online and how people would perceive them. I then show them some statistics about employers who check social media and how that affects their decision making when it comes to hiring.
This activity is digital in nature and can be shared through your LMS or through a simple link.
Teacher tips:
1. I compressed the slide deck so that it would be about 1/4 of the original size and would be more accessible to those without a robust broadband connection.
2. I created a tutorial for students to walk them through the activity.
3. If you can't open the Slide Deck, it is the filter at your school. It is set to anyone with the link can view. Please do not request editing access. You need to go to your personal Google account, open it, make a copy and put it in your school's domain. If you can't open it in your school account, the kids won't be able to either. Putting it into your school's domain from your personal Google account should enable them to access it.
4. Because I compressed the file, the slides are not editable. Having said that, you can still delete whatever slides you want. You can also insert a slide with your Bitmoji, information, rubric, etc and delete the corresponding slide out of my slide deck.
5. If you input your own slides, it's a good idea to compress the file so that it is more accessible to your remote learners. Here is a tutorial on how to do that.
Enjoy!
