Hello! Welcome to my unit plan and resources for teaching digital etiquette to primary-age students. Digital etiquette includes the ability to converse and communicate with kindness and civility when messaging and working online. On this site, you will find the same unit plan in two different formats: an IB PYP unit plan and a more traditional unit plan. Other files and materials supporting these documents can be found on the unit resources page.
Before embarking on this unit plan, students should have an idea of what citizenship means. “E is for Ethics” by Ian James Corlett is a lovely book that contains a story about citizenship, as well as other short stories aimed at children about different morals and values.
The program I used for these lessons was Seesaw, an online sharing platform that we already have permission to use at my school. These lessons also rely on the use of devices (iPad, tablet, Chromebook, etc.…), but they can easily be adapted to use in a one-device scenario or a no-device scenario.
