Results? What does data say?

Page 15: Engaging Student Leaders for Common Sense Digital Citizenship

What students like (in their own words…)• I can help people and show them what they can do to change.

It is fun and we learn a lot.

• I like getting up there and speaking and telling them about real life, relatable, instances. About how people feel and why they do the things they do online.

• I like the feeling of leadership. I can add ideas to improve the lessons, so I'm sort of like a teacher.

• I like being able to lead and make a difference for how people use social media

• I like being able to lead a class and discuss problems and benefits with my peers from the viewpoint a teacher or sorts.

Page 16: Engaging Student Leaders for Common Sense Digital Citizenship

Do you think it helps?• I think what we are doing is help those students

that care about their online identity but only those students that listen and take it seriously

• I think it does really help my classmates learn about digital citizenship because team time tech leaders are the same years old so they can learn because we explain things like they would and understand.

• I am helping some of my classmates think about what they post online.

• Although almost none of them will admit it, it will make at least half of them more aware of what they post, at least subconsciously.

Page 17: Engaging Student Leaders for Common Sense Digital Citizenship

What advice would you give?• My advice is making it as active or engaging for the students. For

example, making challenges like we did so they get motivated to try these things.

• Other schools should also have leaders and I can tell them that it is worth it even though it might seem scary at first.

• I would say yes, and I would advise them to make it interactive.

• However, each school should firstly get to know their students, so that as much of their activities can be relatable as possible. For example, most of us don't meet people online that we never knew, so activities about that wouldn't be needed very often. However, we should have a majority of activities about posting inappropriate things online and our privacy settings - this should be in every school.

Page 18: Engaging Student Leaders for Common Sense Digital Citizenship

In students’ own words…(continued)• Some advice I would give to the students is to not worry because they will have all the slides,

movies, scenrios, and every thing to say. And if the students don't want to answer there questions and aren't raising there hand and they don't speak at all. They should just call on them and just ask them to answer there questions.

• The advice I have is to have a good student selected that will be taken seriously and have a supervisor like a teacher in the room so that the kids don't just totally goof off.

• Some advice that I would have is that the tech time leader should try to involve everyone, especially when its a class that are still learning english. Also when there is something on the board they should read it slowly. Lastly try to make it fun and not make it seem like you were forced to be teaching them.
