Criterion 11:

Students in this artifact are my high school video & TV production students.

The digital identity and personal data of students is very critical in today’s age of social media. There are many great uses for the technology that we have created. There are also many ways where students can cause harm to themselves or others if they are not careful with their digital information.

In the video production course, final products are posted to @PlainedgeTV on social media. This allows students to have pride in their work as well as allow the community to see all the amazing things happening in the studio. There are students who try to push the envelope and create content that is not appropriate for school.

One of the lessons in this unit plan honed in on their mindfulness of their digital identity and personal data. There was a commercial challenge where the students were creating commercials. At the end of the lesson, they streamed their commercials to YouTube.
