Wednesday, Aug 27 (2-hour block)

🎯 Learning Intention

Today, I will explore and take notes on the Nine Elements of Digital Citizenship, using real-life examples to understand why each matters.

✅ Success Criteria

I am successful when I can:

• Define each element clearly.
• Connect each element to a specific, real-world example.
• Identify one element I want to focus on for my PSA project.

1. Digital Access

• Definition: Equal opportunity to technology and online resources.
• Example: Some students don’t have Wi-Fi at home → rely on school Chromebooks or public library hotspots.
• Talk Point: “If some students don’t have access, how does that affect homework, projects, or even applying for jobs?”

2. Digital Commerce

• Definition: Buying/selling goods and services online.
• Example: Buying a game on Steam → safe vs. unsafe websites, phishing stores.
• Talk Point: “What happens if you buy from an unverified website and your credit card gets stolen?”
