Introduction: Digital Values
Lesson Aim
You will consider how to
transfer your offline values into the online world
Achievement Objectives
AO #1: to consider behaviour
on the internet
AO#2: to begin to formulate
ideas of what is needed to be a safe, secure and moral digital citizen
Firstly I want to ask you...
"Who is a good citizen?" . Talk to the person next to you and discuss an answer to share with the rest of the class.
E.g. a good citizen is:
Honest,
looks for ways to improve their community, helps others etc
"So who is a good digital citizen then?". Discuss in small groups/pairs.
Consider the following ...and discuss with your partner
* Using mobile phones in classrooms
* Visiting unknown websites included in emails from
people you don’t know.
* Forwarding on nasty texts about other pupils.
* Forwarding on chain emails
* Letting your mates know about a site that helps with subject coursework.
* Uploading photos of your mates on to a social network.
* Always accepting anyone who asks to be your buddy on
instant messenger or a social network e.g. Myspace/Facebook.
* Ignoring messages from your anti virus saying that
updates are available.
* Downloading an example of an "Excellence" essay from the a school resource website
* Having online discussions, with someone you don’t know,
about private things.
