This annotated list is intended to provide teachers links to resources that can be used to teach digital citizenship and other technology related concepts and skills. The resources listed are considered free to use but are not necessarily openly licensed materials unless otherwise noted. Feel free to remix this document to delete any links that are not useful to you and add any resources you find worthwhile.

This collection of STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) interactive resources is a practical guide that teachers will find useful in helping students achieve curriculum expectations in STEM related courses, build their understanding of science and their ability to engage in science talk, offer explanations about natural phenomena, and develop digital literacy and a sense of global citizenship. The guide also provides instructional design considerations for developing active learning activities, pedagogical strategies, and sample activities.

This lesson, part of the Digital Literacy series, addresses the importance of locating and verifying reliable sources when working with online information.

Some of your students seem to have superglued their hands to their cell phones; for others, it is their eyes that have been permanently affixed. Why do so many students find their personal technology more appealing than the real humans on around them . . . and what might be the long-term consequences of this? These are the questions this unit will address – first, through the rhetorical analysis of various articles on the effects of cell phones and social media, and then, through a careful study of dystopian fiction. Ultimately, students will draw their own conclusions and share their learning through letters to middle school students and a creative writing piece that suggests what will happen next.

A few of your students may whine about the work you are giving them. They may rage, rage against the dying of the light emanating from their cell phones. They may claim that teachers and parents just don’t understand. But ultimately they will be better educated, more prescient, less addicted, more creative, and of better use to their communities. I think it is worth the fight.

Why work with faity tales when teaching English to children? ( Elementary Education)Children learn vocabulary in English, but also internalize grammar and, above all, how sentences are formulated correctly. Through the English stories we read or hear, we can practice intonation, but also fluency in the language. And, like any other story (regardless of the language in which it is written), we encourage the habit of reading and creativity of the little ones.Through this ILP the teacher seeks to stimulate and improve the listening, writting and reading comprehension skills of children.UNESCO ICT Competency Framework: Knowledge Acquisition, Knowledge Deepening and Knowledge creation.- Understanding ICT in Education: Policy understanding / Policy application / Policy innovation.- Curriculum and Assesment: Basic Knowledge / Knowledge application / Knowledge Society Skills.- Pedagogy: ICT- enhanced teaching / Complex Problem-solving / Self Management.- Application Digital skills: Application / Infusion / Transformation.- Organization and Administration: Standard classroom / Collaborative Groups / Learning Organizations.- Teacher Professional Learning: Digital Literacy / Networking / Teacher as Innovator.

This lesson concentrates on how to format an existing Microsoft Word document.
The focus is on meeting the Northstar Digital Literacy skills standards for the formatting of a document (font, font size, line spacing, creating lists, review).
The functions required in Microsoft Word are covered and additional functions, such as Save As, Save can also be shown.

Short Description:
Fundamentals for Success in College will help you develop all the necessary skills and strategies to become successful in your educational journey. It will take you on a journey of reflection, discovery and learning. Enjoy the ride!

Long Description:
The Fundamentals for Success in College prepares students for academic and professional success. Learners will define their learning styles, identify their strengths and needs and develop a personal academic success plan. Learners will further their academic and professional success skills through this resource by studying different learning strategies. These include study skills, note-taking, test-taking skills, improving memory, reading skills, time management strategies, goal setting, self-care, personal health and wellness, budgeting in college, and digital literacy. An in-depth understanding of APA referencing, as well as academic integrity, is included in this OER. This textbook also focuses on professional deportment. Learners will get an insight into Field Placement and the role of professionalism in a successful placement. They will learn a variety of formats to prepare a professional resume and cover letter.

In this exercise students watch a video and then participate in a think-pair-share activity. The activity is designed to stimulate reflection and discussion on the nature of geospatial data. The activity emphasizes the ways in which the digital revolution has transformed the way we think and gather information about spatially located features, and how we navigate to those features.

Learn about what a computer is and how to use a mouse and keyboard.

As we move forward in an age of generative Artificial Intelligence, it's more important than ever to ensure students develop positive habits that keep them informed, safe, and responsible when interacting with technology. Beginning with Washington State education standards, our Digital Literacy team curated learning materials for teachers K-12 to integrate into their curriculum. The linked resource provides classroom teachers with standards-aligned resources for teaching digital agency by grade level. Linked resources are a specially curated list of free lessons available to anyone. We have also suggested a content area connection for each lesson to foster integration across the content areas rather than a stand-alone focus on digital agency.   

In this session you will be introduced to the methods and dynamics of relevance for health promotion on social media with specific focus on the role and impact of fake health science . The exercise is based on a simulation game where students will join an already established secret Facebook group.

This lesson focuses on copyright and fair use. Students will discuss these concepts and then complete a project demonstrating what they learned.

In this lesson, students will examine their digital footprints, discuss the positives and negatives of having a footprint, and determine how they can most safely manage their footprints.

With the release of ChatGPT in November 2022, the field of higher education rapidly became aware that generative AI can complete or assist in many of the kinds of tasks traditionally used for assessment. This has come as a shock, on the heels of the shock of the pandemic. How should assessment practices change? Should we teach about generative AI or use it pedagogically? If so, how? Here, we propose that a set of open educational practices, inspired by both the Open Educational Resources (OER) movement and digital collaboration practices popularized in the pandemic, can help educators cope and perhaps thrive in an era of rapidly evolving AI. These practices include turning toward online communities that cross institutional and disciplinary boundaries. Social media, listservs, groups, and public annotation can be spaces for educators to share early, rough ideas and practices and reflect on these as we explore emergent responses to AI. These communities can facilitate crowdsourced curation of articles and learning materials. Licensing such resources for reuse and adaptation allows us to build on what others have done and update resources. Collaborating with students allows emergent, student-centered, and student-guided approaches as we learn together about AI and contribute to societal discussions about its future. We suggest approaching all these modes of response to AI as provisional and subject to reflection and revision with respect to core values and educational philosophies. In this way, we can be quicker and more agile even as the technology continues to change.

We give examples of these practices from the Spring of 2023 and call for recognition of their value and for material support for them going forward. These open practices can help us collaborate across institutions, countries, and established power dynamics to enable a richer, more justly distributed emerging response to AI.
