Empower students through iDrive. This unit is comprised of five lessons. Lesson plans, coordinating PowerPoint presentations, and student resource pages are separated by lesson for use in an online learning environment. Each lesson builds towards the culminating project: students complete one of several iDrive Empowerment Activities. This unit is designed to be taught as a complete unit, but lessons can also be implemented individually.
Students engage in dialogue about their experience in various online communities and discuss the role of parental supervision. They compare online communities with public places in the real world; give an example of a site, game, or app used to communicate with other people; describe the activities that take place in an online community, and discuss the importance of adult supervision.
This introductory lesson prepares students for the Online Personal Safety unit by allowing them to share their perspectives and experiences with digital communication. Initiate a class discussion about the online activities of the students, and the role of parental supervision and permission in these digital places. Gauge student attitudes towards the roles that adults play in keeping young people safe in the real world as well as online. Students will write a reflection on their current online practices and perspective on personal safety.
