This lesson introduces children to different ways young people have used the internet to work toward positive social change.

As children use digital media with increasing frequency, advertisers who work with digital platforms continue to understand kids as an ideal target audience. Among other things, this means it is important to help children learn to read online ads sensibly and critically.

This lesson focuses on what it means to produce digital content and share information using online platforms.

Students will discuss basic guidelines for maintaining privacy and security online. To help them internalize these rules, students will illustrate what it would mean to follow each guideline.

This lesson aims to help students learn to safely and respectfully participate in different kinds of digital communities.

By learning about search algorithms, students will start to understand that the information they get from searching online does not simply materialize out of thin air! This understanding will enable students to critically evaluate search results.
