Our Digital Life

  • Adults may think of kids' . . .

Elementary

  • Video Discussion Questions
    (for parents & teachers)

    • Why do we need superheroes such as Super Digital Citizen?
    • Can you remember what Super Digital Citizen says his job is? (Hint: He tells us, “I make sure kids are S____, R____, and R____!”)
    • In the video, Guts starts to make a few digital “mistakes” -- and then he corrects them, and Super Digital Citizen gives him a nod of approval. Can you remember any of Guts’ mistakes and what he does to fix them?
    • Guts writes to his friend, “Hey, Heart, Great pic! Can I share it with others?” Why is it important to check with others before sharing their pictures online?
    • What are some examples of times when you’ve been a good digital citizen? Are there any ways you could be an even better Super Digital Citizen? 

    Lesson Plan for Teachers

Secondary

  • Video Discussion Questions
    (for parents & teachers)

    • At the beginning of the video, several kids talk about what they do online. What are your favorite activities online? Which games or websites do you use most often, and what do you like about them?
    • What are some of the “good” ways you can connect with people? What are some of the “bad” ways?
    • What are some of the ways you can protect your privacy online? Who sees the information you post?
    • Can you relate to the feeling of regretting something you posted online? Why did you have second thoughts about something you shared?
    • Do you ever experiment with your identity online, perhaps by changing your gender in a game or letting people think you’re a different age? How does it change your experience? Are there any potential downsides?
    • Do you ever use content that you find online? What does it mean to be responsible about giving creative credit?
