This lesson stemmed from an assignment in Education Technology at the University of Akron in Akron, Ohio. After reviewing the Module over Digital Citizenship, the class was charged with creating a WebQuest to introduce the concept of Digital Citizenship into a future classroom. The goal of this Webquest is to help students navigate resources on the web properly and create a good cyber reputation.
Through the course of the WebQuest, students will research a historical figure crucial to technological advances, write a brief essay, and submit it to www.turnitin.com. They will then discuss in groups their mistakes and formulate ways to avoid plagiarism. Then, after exploring http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/ , they will graph their most common mistakes. In regards to their reputation, students will study and discuss what it means to have good “netiquette”. They will use social networking cites to find good and bad examples of “netiquette”. They will synthesize and analyze all of the provided information to determine what it means to be a good digital citizen.

Due to the age group addressed for this assignment, the teacher should serve as a facilitator of the exercise, not necessarily as an instructor. The teacher should explain Digital Citizenship and its importance. Take the class through the first presentation, so they understand the assignment, goal, and grading criteria, then allow them to create the Digital Citizenship portfolio. Clearly explain the goal of the assignment, then have the students break into small groups, and monitor the process. Keep the shenanigans of the students to a minimum and keep them focused on the end goal.
