You may have had students screaming and banging their heads on their desk when their Movie Maker project opened up and all they saw were yellow "!" What to do? Well, here is a PowerPoint that will alleviate those issues before you begin. I've been using this for years and when students come in from other classes (I'm the Tech teacher) saying they are having issues, I show them this and they leave with the problems corrected. This PowerPoint sums up the issues and offers a solution that will prevent them from happening!!

This product features an engaging worksheet and lesson to gauge your students' feelings on virtual learning in the upcoming school year both in traditional and digital form. In this activity, students must choose between 6 different quotes about distance learning and articulate why the quote aligns with their own perspective.

This is a MUST HAVE resource to make teaching Digital Media Literacy easy!

ONTARIO TEACHERS: This will help you teach the new Digital Media Literacy strand in the 2023 Language curriculum.

This package goes beyond the conversations about cyberbullying and safe use. In this resource you will find student sheets and posters for the nine elements of digital citizenship:

* digital health and wellness

* digital security

* digital rights and responsibilities

* digital literacy

* digital law

* digital etiquette

* digital communication

* digital commerce

* digital access

Each topic has a student page that asks thought provoking questions and provides a bit of information on the specific topic. These pages are meant to start a conversation and get students thinking about their digital lives and all it entails.

Each topic also has a black and white poster that matches the student sheet, using the same icon for quick recognition.

What others are saying:

• This was a great introduction activity. (Teresa P)
• I am excited to use this in the fall when I present Responsibility with internet uses. (Kami J)

Who doesn't love to travel? Engage students as they plan a vacation to their dream destination.

The “Plan a Vacation” project utilizes either MS Office (Word and Excel) or Google Apps/Workspace (Docs, Sheets) to allow students to build skills in those programs along with skills in Internet research, reading, writing and critical thinking. In these projects, students research a vacation destination of their choice and complete a research sheet using MS Word or Google Docs. They utilize either MS Excel or Google Sheets to create a budget for their trip, and finally create a tri-fold Travel Brochure using a choice of MS Word, Google Docs, or Canva (www.canva.com) to share information about their chosen destination. Full instructions and grading rubrics are provided for each portion of the project, along with a sample budget spreadsheet (and answer key), and a sample brochure. Links to tutorials for all programs are provided in the student resources section, and a Quick Start Guide for Canva is also included.

The project was created for grades 7-8 but could easily be adapted for younger or older students.
