Lesson Idea Name: Digital Citizenship Awareness

Grade Level/Content Area: Elementary (Grades 3-5)
Content Standard Addressed:
Digital Citizen - 2a

ISTE Technology Standard Addressed:
ISTE Standard for Students - Digital Citizen 2a:
Students cultivate and manage their digital
identity and reputation and are aware of the
permanence of their actions in the digital world.
What would you like students to know and be
able to do by the end of this lesson: Students
will understand the concept of digital identity
and reputation, recognize the importance of
responsible online behavior, and demonstrate
this knowledge by creating a video PSA
promoting digital citizenship.

What is the student learning goal for this lesson idea?

Students will create a video Public Service Announcement (PSA) on digital citizenship to educate
their peers about the importance of managing their digital footprint and making responsible choices
online.

Selected Instructional Software Tool: Video Editing Software (e.g., iMovie, Adobe Premiere)

Description of Software: Video editing software allows students to edit video clips, add transitions,
text overlays, and soundtracks to create polished multimedia presentations.

Please put an X in the box or next to the level(s). Do not highlight or bold the response.

☐ Remembering ☐ Understanding X Applying X Analyzing ☐ Evaluating X Creating

How do you plan to implement this lesson and integrate the technology? Check all that apply:

☐ Teacher-led: There is no student voice and choice in the activities. Students are guided by the
teacher's direction and expectations. Learning activities are assigned to the student and mostly
practice based.

X Student-Led: Students are given voice and choice in the activities. They may select the topic of
learning and/or determine the tool they will use to meet the learning goal. The teacher facilitates
the learning as the students direct their own learning processes.

X Problem-based and/or Publishable: Students are solving problems and completing projects to
demonstrate their learning. Additionally, the projects can be shared outside of the classroom.
(Note: This objective could be reached by displaying the project on the school’s morning newscast,

posting the project to the classroom blog, presenting it to another class, or publishing it via an
outside source.)
Lesson idea implementation:
Students will be introduced to the concept of digital citizenship through discussions on responsible
online behavior and the impact of their digital footprint. They will then brainstorm ideas for their
video PSA, outlining key messages and storyboard concepts. Using video editing software, students
will record footage, edit clips, add titles, and integrate voiceovers or background music. The teacher
will facilitate discussions, provide technical guidance on using the software, and offer feedback on
storyboard development and video production. Peer feedback sessions will be conducted to critique
and refine PSA drafts. The lesson will conclude with students presenting their final PSAs to the class
or uploading them to a shared platform for wider dissemination.
Managing student learning:
By allowing students to create their own PSAs, the lesson encourages active engagement and critical
thinking about digital citizenship. Students will shift from passive consumers of digital content to
active producers, fostering deeper understanding and personal responsibility in online interactions.
On task:
Students will submit a storyboard plan before starting video production, ensuring thoughtful
planning and efficient use of time. Collaborative peer reviews and teacher-guided checkpoints will
further support active engagement and timely completion.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Reflection: Be sure to mention one specific UDL principle you
are focused on in this lesson – Multiple Means of Engagement, Multiple Means of Representation,
or Multiple Means of Action & Expression.
This lesson focuses on Multiple Means of Action & Expression by providing students with various
options to demonstrate learning through video creation. It supports Multiple Means of Engagement
by fostering student interest in a relevant and meaningful topic, and Multiple Means of
Representation by incorporating visual and auditory elements in learning about digital citizenship.
Reflection: This activity is designed to empower students to become responsible digital citizens
while honing their multimedia production skills. I am particularly excited about seeing how creatively
students will communicate the importance of digital citizenship through their PSA videos.
