= Using Video Resources to Teach Digital Citizenship =  Lakeview Academy Middle School Advisors meet with their advisees for a 25 minute session each week. Because digital citizenship and ethics with technology are becoming so important in the classroom, Lakeview has chosen to take some of this valuable advisor time to address these issues. The following pages are a compilation of resources to be used with small groups of Middle School students to prompt discussion and provide extension activities. The intent is to guide students to understand the pros and cons of using technology as well as their responsibility as a digital citizen.

Extension Activities for this program: 1. Create a blog or a wiki for your class or advisory group. After each session students sould reflect about what they learned in their group discussion. Ask students to write on the class blog/wiki their feelings, views, comments, or additional resoucres that they might have discovered. Students could indicate in their write up if they want their comments to be public or private. This information could used as a future group discussion to allow the group to return and explore further each of the topics listed.

2. The information from the group could be used to create additional web or paper resources to use to help share safety tips with friends. Students could brainstorm ways to create positive change to help others and then come up with different ways to digitally share the information.
