Mr. Pane a fifth grade teacher from Nebraska, created an amazing lesson for his students, to teach digital citizenship. He grabs his students attention by giving them an idea to think the quote ” with great power, comes great responsibility”, he then ties that idea to the internet and has the students discuss among themselves, what that means to them. I thought it was a great way to start the thought process before introducing the topic of the day, what it takes to be a good digital citizenship.
The next part of the activity I really enjoyed to see was that each student could create their own super digital citizen hero online. Then the students had to create a comic in which their superhero saves the day, and teaches a lesson on responsibility, safety, or respect online. Some of the heroes saved students from putting in personal information on online gimmicks, others from gossiping online. This activity is a great way to prepare students to deal with all online has to offer and not all of it is good.
The students then did a gallery walk, where they would get up, move to another laptop and actually read the other students work. This is a great part of the lesson because not every student had the same issue, which means, that every time they read someone else’s the got to see a different scenario of being online. This would be a great tool to incorporate into my own classroom, especially for writing, that can help students see different perspectives, and gain more perspectives than just their own.

Great post! I really agree with you on the benefits that all of the students gained during this lesson, and on how informative the lesson in itself was. Mr. Pane is a great teacher, and definitely is a great digital citizen! Your post felt a lot like a summary to me, but you hit all of the questions and really promoted the video well. Good job!
