Digital Citizenship Unit Angela Clark and Kristen Champion

Identification of Learning Problem

The teacher that I chose to collaborate with is a high school math teacher, Kristen

Champion. She is one of our younger teachers at the high school. She is very receptive of

bringing technology in the classroom, and she does what she can with the technological

resources that we have. Mrs. Champion teaches juniors and seniors. One of her concerns about

Digital Citizenship is being professional on social media. Her students will be graduating soon,

and she wants them to know how to conduct themselves when using the internet. We discussed

if the students really understood what a digital footprint is and what it could mean in the future.

discussion, students will complete a worksheet over digital footprints. Students will create an

online resume. After students complete the online resume, they will take a quiz over the lessons

that have been taught.

Instruction Design Summary

Students will be using Google Chromebooks to Google themselves and to create their

Professional webpage. Google Chromebooks will also be used to create word art cloud. The

word art will be emailed to Mrs. Champion. Mrs. Champion will use ClearTouch board to show

the videos. The unit will be delivered on Google Sites.

The Universal Design for Learning approach will be incorporated. The videos and tasks will

represent the Representation of UDL. The word art graphics, discussions, resumes and feedback
represents Action and Expression of UDL. Engagement is represented by asking questions,

discussions and videos. The word cloud using Google Chromebooks will be the hook that will

gain their attention. Asking questions will activate prior knowledge.

Evaluation Plan

Students will complete a quiz and provide feedback at the end of the unit. A survey

about the unit will also be provided. Results will be used to make changes for other students in

the future. After co-teaching with Mrs. Champion, we feel it is important to reach the students

that may not be provided information about professionalism and social media at home.
