INTRODUCTION

At PS62 we must prepare our students for success in a connected world. The problem is that many students do not know how to be responsible with devices. Your job is to be a PS62 advocate and teach other students what it means to be a Good Digital Citizen.

TASK

In this WebQuest, using the Public Policy Analyst (PPA) you will be solving the problem of how students can be responsible with devices. You will watch videos and take notes using a graphic organizer with a partner.

This WebQuest should take 5-6 class periods.

During the last two class periods you will create a ScratchJr project on your iPad designing and coding an interactive story that describes the role of a digital citizen at PS62. You can use images, speech bubbles and recorded sound to complete this project. You will have a rubric to refer to.
