Reflection
Students LOVED working with Book Creator. The idea of “digital citizenship” was a bit difficult for students to grasp, but after vocabulary review and real-life examples and comparisons they understood better. They were able to see the value in this lesson and demonstrated their knowledge as well as their interest in the topic. We often reflect on this lesson when students share personal experiences from online video games and the like.
