Share With Care

Google has developed a great series of digital citizenship lesson plans and online games, aimed at Grades 4 and 5 students. The unit that fits in here is called "Share With Care."

The teacher guide book with the lesson plans is below. The lesson plans for this unit start on page 7.

Here is the link to the online "Interland" game that goes with this unit.

Keeping Games Fun & Friendly

By this age, many students are spending considerable time playing online games, often with other students but also with people they may not even know.

Common Sense Media has a great lesson plan that helps students understand how to play friendly. Below is the presentation as well as a video. (NOTE: You might have to create an account and log-in to CSM to access the lesson plan!)
