"It’s a simple little prop I use when teaching Digital Citizenship to our pK-12 Aurora Huskies students, but I think it sends a powerful message. I love utilizing props to try to get my point across to students and thought that creating a kit full of props would be a great way to reinforce a very important topic in our schools."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Teaching digital citizenship is not an easy task. This post explores what happens when you create a toolkit of props and use them to help students make connections to online behavior. Below are a couple of examples (quoted from the post): * Padlock. The padlock is to remind students to set strong passwords and to set up passcode locks on all of their digital devices. * Tube of Toothpaste. Imagine the information that you are putting online is like the toothpaste coming out of the tube. Once it is out, it is almost impossible to get it all back in the tube! As you read through the post you will find many more suggestions and you may come up with some of your own ideas as to what should be in the kit. If you do make a comment and share them here.

Not just for kids, lessons and reminders for us all
This is a FANTASTIC IDEA!! So Clever!!
This is a great idea - a kit of props to help the message sink in! Some of the props used are:
- a padlock: to symbolise keeping data safe - who will you unlock your life and details to?
- a tube of toothpaste: like what you post online, once it is out it is almost impossible to out it all back in the tube!
- a permanent marker: everything that you put online is permanent—even if you hit the delete button after posting.
Maybe you have a few other suggestions that might be useful to add to a survival toolkit!
