In this week of EDTC 400, my partner Sarah S and I presented a mini-lesson of Digital Identity. I didn’t know very much about digital identity so I was learning as I was making the lesson. Sarah on the other hand had great knowledge on it and taught me all about it when I had any questions. Making this lesson was so much fun, me and Sarah had called each other multiple times to go through our plans and goals for our presentation. We began with discussing what area we wanted to focus on the most, deciding with a focus on digital identity. After getting an idea of where we wanted the lesson to focus we began searching for an engaging way to teach 4th grade students.
In our lesson we focused on digital footprint, teaching students actively that everything they do online is recorded. We compared pictures of footprints and fossils to what a digital footprint is, making a connection between real life and your online presence. We used an introduction game to get the students thinking about what a digital footprint is and then discussed things like previously mentioned about the footprints and fossils. Next we watched a video on digital footprint and had multiple discussions based on the information we learned. We gave a short quiz at the end to get a better understanding on how well students understood the topic of digital footprints and if they feel confident in knowing how to be safe online. I found that our presentation went well, we didn’t have any challenges planning the lesson as we spoke frequently and often asked each other questions on anything we didn’t fully understand. The lesson was rich in information and the students, along with ourselves, had fun. This was my first ever time teaching a class through Zoom and thankfully I have had lots of practice with Zoom so I wasn’t too nervous about the use of it. My main concern was time, we were either going to have too much stuff to teach or we would have too little but we managed time well and were able to create a well thought out lesson, in the future I may have added a bit more just to help keep time even more manageable. I had a great time working with Sarah S and it was a lot of fun to teach such an engaging lesson!

I had so much fun making this lesson with you Paige! It was my first time teaching a lesson that I had planned, so I was a bit nervous. I'm glad our lesson went so smoothly though!
