WebQuest

1. Read the first paragraph in this webpage, titled What is it? Then, write a sentence of your

definition of digital citizenship.

2. Watch this video on digital citizenship.

i.

ii.

iii.

iv.

b. Have you ever witnessed someone not being a good digital citizen?

c. What did you do when you noticed the person not being a good digital citizen?

3. Read this webpage on cyberbullying. Then, tell me what cyberbullying means to you.

4. Watch this video on difference between bullying and cyberbullying. In your own words,

tell me the difference between cyberbullying and bullying.

5. Sammy is on Twitter and sees Sarah posted a picture of her hair. Sammy tweeted, “Sarah

is had to get bangs in order to cover up her ugly face.” Is Sammy being a bully or a

cyberbully? Why?
6. A stranger walks up to you randomly and asks you for your mother’s name and address.

What do you do?

7. If you were giving your younger sibling, family member, or friend advice for digital

citizenship, what would you tell them?

One of the reasons I would use this tool is an opener during the first week of school where

students are just receiving their laptops for the beginning of the year. In one of our writing units

students are taught plagiarism, which is mentioned in one of the videos. So, this would help them

to receive a media file to explain plagiarism and why it is not okay. Students will complete this

assignment as groups of 2 in case some words are harder to read as their reading some of these

webpages. Digital citizenship is taught to all elementary students who are given forms of

technology in school. The pros of this WebQuest are that students can work independently or

with a partner, given their reading levels. The con of this assignment is for my struggling readers

who may not do so well when it is time to read the passages. I will have to mentor/tutor them

during certain parts of the assignment. The take-away for the students would be that they have

more knowledge about how to be a good digital citizen while on the internet. The WebQuest has

a balance of technology and engagement with the reading passages as well as the videos included

in this activity. In the future, this WebQuest will probably need some upgrades as the internet is

always evolving.
