Freshmen Digital Citizenship #1
Have the students come in and get out their chromebooks. They will need them for the lesson. Also, have them find a partner they can talk to and share with for this lesson
1.Ask the students, “How has the amount of or the way you use technology changed over the last two years?”
Have the students pair share and then ask for some students to share out (5 minutes)
2.Have the students make a quick list of all their digital habits with their partners. After they make the list have them put a plus or minus next to each habit (+ for a positive habit, - for a negative one) ( 3 to 5 minutes)
For this you can have them make a google doc or take out a piece of paper and write it down
3.Have the students read the short essay about The Challenge (add link later) (5 minutes)
For this part you can have them read it with their partners, have them popcorn read it with the whole class, you can read it to them, or have them read it by themselves.
4.Now ask them to work on their own for 5 minutes, choosing one of their digital habits they want to change or do differently. Have them share with their partner their habit they want to change and then have them figure out how they can help their partner with the change.
Have them enter the habit on the google form
Have them enter how they want to change it or how they want to do it differently
For the last part have them share their habit with their partner in class, and then write down how they can support their partner in changing their habit (7 - 10 mins total)
When they have finished the final part, have them pack up and get ready to leave for their next class.

California Healthy Kids Survey, 2025-26
Valley High School
Your school needs the students to complete this online survey to help improve school culture and climate. This letter explains the survey, and at the bottom of the page, provides the URL and access instructions. If you have any questions about this survey, contact Larrah Feliciano at lfelicia@egusd.net.
The purpose of this survey is to obtain information from the students about their knowledge, attitudes, and behavior about things that affect learning. It deals with such issues as truancy, safety, harassment, substance use, school connectedness, and learning supports. Students will first answer a question about their current learning situation and then be directed to questions appropriate for that situation (distance learning or on campus).
Student participation is voluntary. It is also very important. The information provided will help guide district and school efforts to promote safety, enhance learning supports, improve student achievement, and reduce health risks that stand as barriers to learning.
· This is an anonymous survey. It is designed so that no one can be identified from the data. Students do not have to respond to any questions that they feel could be used to identify them. Instruct them to simply skip any such questions.
· All questions apply to this school only.
· The results are for the use of the district. CDE and WestEd will preserve data confidentiality and refer any data requests to the district.
Students will have access to site on Google Classroom posted day of mins before .
