rvonella on 29 Oct 16Digital Passport is a great way to teach digital citizenship in 3rd through 6th-grade classrooms. It provides a foundation for appropriate and safe online behavior by offering fun and interactive lessons and meets Common Core and ISTE Nets Standards. Students can engage in videos, games, and quizzes about cyber-bullying, respect, digital literacy, and many other topics to promote digital citizenship. The site offers educator materials that can be utilized by simply registering for a login and password. Both students and teachers can access Digital Passport on computers, tablets, or phones in school and at home. The application can be accessed directly through the website or downloaded. One way to implement this tool in lessons is to allow students to have the opportunity to work on Chrome books or in a lab. Students can be assigned quizzes through the teacher dashboard. Once students get through the lessons, they earn badges and a "Certificate of Achievement," which allows for positive reinforcement. Teachers can monitor student progress during the activity and print reports to share with each student, their parents, and administrators. During lessons, students can be assigned to work individually on a device or as a class on a smart board, which allows for an exciting and innovative way to learn about digital citizenship.

BrainPop offers a variety of activities for students to work together in pairs or groups on any device. To implement critical thinking in a lesson, teachers can use games, concept mapping, videos, and quizzes. One of the many aspects of Brainpop is that it provides resources for any subject, grade, or skill level. The educator section for teachers offers activities and lesson plan ideas that align with Common Core, national, and state standards. For example, BrainPop provides a detailed lesson plan for the Quandary Game (https://educators.brainpop.com/lesson-plan/quandary-problem-solving/?bp-topic=critical-reasoning). During the various episodes of the game, students use their problem-solving skills to assess issues and find solutions for each challenge. Through critical thinking, students learn how to put themselves in another's shoes by viewing a situation from a character's point of view.

Lauren MacDonald Tool Name: TodaysMeet https://todaysmeet.com Short Description: TodaysMeet is a backchannel virtual classroom tool used for communication and collaboration between students that occurs during a lesson, when students are at home, or even with students from other schools. TodaysMeet allows for the elimination of off topic comments and helps keep the classroom as a whole focused. Also, this tool allows for all students' voices to be heard and opens the conversation up for everyone to effectively collaborate. What is extremely helpful for students is that they can print out the conversations on TodaysMeet or re-enter the classroom while at home to refer to notes, instructions, or help on homework. Examples of Uses: Students can access the virtual classroom on TodaysMeet anywhere and continue the conversation with classmates and teachers even after the lesson has ended. This is extremely helpful for teachers when they come across more challenging concepts or units in the curriculum because students can use each other to bounce ideas and questions off of rather than the teacher taking a whole class period to answer multiple questions from confused students.
