Maihiihi+M6

Digital Citizenship We completed an inquiry on keeping ourselves safe, we focused on internet safety in the senior class. Students went through the process of an inquiry and their final action was that they wanted to design a safety policy that they can follow and share with the other classes.

Our first step was finding out what they already knew and what they wanted to know.

Next we researched and discussed information on internet safety, watched some clips to highlight areas of concern and held class discussions on their thoughts and ideas. Then students worked in pairs on two etherpads to collate their learning, etherpad groups refined their ideas so that we didn't have repeats. [|Etherpad1]

As a class we combined the two groups work to design a 'Maihiihi School Internet Safety Policy' that they forwarded to the principal for approval. Once approved, the class shared this new policy with the school.

Walk throughs

Goal - to assist my students to become successful digital citizens. I will achieve this by providing opportunities for students to work in ways appropriate and prepartory for the world in which they will function as adults.
