Students explore what it means to take on responsibilities in both their offline and online communities as a way to learn how to be good digital citizens. Students sit in circles, which depict the “Rings of Responsibility,” in order to explore the responsibilities they have to themselves, friends and family, and larger communities, both offline and online.

Students consider how digitally manipulated photos can affect the way people feel about their appearance, as well as help sell products. After learning that photos can be transformed on the computer, students first discuss how photo alteration can be both creative and, at times, deceptive. They then watch a short video that shows the evolution of a makeup-free model into a digitally enhanced billboard ad. Finally, students work in groups to analyze the messages on two magazine covers featuring digitally altered photographs.

Students will establish group norms to create a positive online community that promotes responsible and respectful digital behavior within their classroom. Students collaborate in creating a digital citizenship pledge outlining their collective social norms for exploring in and interacting with the digital world.
