Using ScreenChomp to Teach Digital Citizenship

To help younger learners understand Digital Citizenship, we watched a video called "Delivery for Webster." We discussed what mistakes Webster made and what rules of digital citizenship he broke. The students used the free app ScreenChomp to illustrate their understanding of what it means to keep your information private.

Here are two videos that first graders created:

ScreenChomp is a fantastic app because not only is it free but it also introduces the students to the world of screencasting. In addition, this lesson tied in with the curriculum because students were discussing the idea that a story has a beginning, middle, and end. We highlighted these stories on the Friday morning announcement show so that the rest of the school could learn about digital citizenship as well as ScreenChomp.
