PPT is Evil





I looked at grades 4-5 Rings of Responsibility. The lesson starts out with the instructor using a quote from Marvel Comics' Spider-Man, "with great power, comes greatest responsibility.' The lesson uses the quote to explain responsibility to students. Students need to understand that having online access is a privilege. With this privilege comes great responsibility for their actions.

I like how the teacher introduces the concept using students' prior knowledge about the responsibilities they have at home, school, and in their community. Using students' prior knowledge is a great way to introduce concepts because it gives them a connection which allows them to internalize the concept at a deeper level because it is relatable to them.

The rest of the lessons involve students working through 3 different phases of responsibility online. All of these lessons work with the previous lessons to help remind students how they should act online and why/
