Safe and responsible use of technology is a crucial component of education, now more than ever.
BrainPOP’s digital citizenship unit is full of topics and activities designed to help students build these critical skills.
Explore our collection of grade-level pacing guides and lesson plans that provide a learning sequence that works for you and your students.
Each guide has project prompts that stretch students to apply knowledge and develop original ideas.
For example: Over the course of one week, 6th graders can explore Evaluating Online and Media Sources , culminating with a movie-making project prompt to demonstrate understanding of fact vs. opinion and how to identify bias in media.
Perfect for in-person or remote learning, these rigorous and fun mini-units will engage students and develop digital citizenship skills.
Want to teach Digital Citizenship with BrainPOP in real time? Here are some ideas across the week:
On Day 1, show the Fact vs. Opinion video to the whole class. Be sure to set an intention at the beginning of the video, and pause to encourage interaction through questions or clarifications.
On Day 2, Sharing the worksheet, model your thinking about the first “identify and rewrite” prompt. Read aloud the phrase a few times, adding expression to illustrate the “positive or negative” slant of the author. https://brnpop.co/2T03bd7
Students can volunteer to read other examples aloud and identify the slant.
Alternatively: student work on BrainPOP can be completed on their own time.
On Day 1, Students may view the video and mark and comment on moments to share back with the group. Bring students together to share their opinions and discuss.
For the worksheet on Day 2, have students complete the remaining slant prompts on their own and submit to you as evidence of learning.
Make-a-Movie is a terrific tool for students to use on their own time. Without the constraints of a short class period, students have time to think through ideas and practice their expressive language. Additionally, without recording the background classroom chatter, their narration will be more clear while recording in their own space!
Students can share their final projects with you, the teacher, who can then download and share in common space. Allow students to practice their new communication etiquette by commenting on each other’s movies.
These are just a few small ideas for how to use BrainPOP’s digital Citizenship topics this year.
What skills will your students practice? What projects will they create? Join the Digital Citizenship celebration with BrainPOP!
