Some of these topics seem obvious to an adult, but kids are just starting to grasp the importance of leaving a digital print in society. Great information and I enjoy that they can do it independently.
This was such a great unit to share with my teens. It really got them thinking not only of appropriate communication based on audience and communication tool, but invites them to reflect on their digital footprint and device use. There are so many fun activities as well as lots of space for reflection and discussion. We took a relaxed approach to the reflection questions and used them as couch discussions and it was great!
