Description
Description
We created a Nearpod in Google Slides to increase student awareness of emotions (happy, uncomfortable/nervous, curious, frustrated) and to guide students to better understand how technology can make them feel. Students will also understand when they need to get an adult to help when they get a bad feeling from something they see or hear online. Nearpod will be used to implement the majority of the lesson. Then they will use emoji props to show how they felt from listening to scenarios. As an extension, students will select provided images to create an Instagram using a provided sentence stem.

When speaking and writing, I can use the words happy, frustrated, uncomfortable, and curious to describe how online pictures, videos, and information might make me feel.

I can understand what going on the Internet means to me. I can use basic functions of a Chromebook to participate in interactive Nearpod activities. I can use the copy and paste function.

Procedure
Procedure
First, students will join the Nearpod in Live Presentation mode. After the first few slides, they will do a Matching Pairs activity to reinforce vocabulary.
Then they will continue with a video reinforcing how what they see or hear on the internet can make students feel emotions that are not always happy. Continue until getting to the Pause Think Feel slide, which reinforces asking for help from an adult if it is needed. They will use a hand stop signal for Pause; fingers on head for Think; Hand up for Ask.
After, students will listen to some examples of things they may see or hear online. They will use their emoji props to identify the emotion that matches closest. Students will show what they know as they complete the Time to Climb.
As part of the lesson or an extension activity, students can make up to four Instagram posts for #happy, #curious, #frustrated, and #uncomfortable.

Reflection
Reflection
Students should have some experience navigating Chromebooks. Rules need to be in place since they like to click on buttons and make things happen quickly. Important for students to know the far reach of the internet, so the first few slides of the Nearpod are important in reinforcing that they are not alone in their home. Once they go online they are inviting the web into their home.
