Drew,
Your Digital Citizenship playlist was both informative and well-curated. The selection of videos provided excellent teaching resources while remaining engaging for students. I appreciated how your choices were credible and well-referenced with valuable educational sources.

The videos you included in your playlist were great at addressing digital citizenship and AI. I noticed that the videos had different formats, different viewpoints, different voices for the voiceovers, etc., but they were all credible in their content. It is good because some may be geared toward different age groups or audiences. Having diversity helps to reach all groups. The topic is important, so it is important to try to reach all groups to let them know this information.

With so much technology being given to children at an early age, we have to make sure they are knowledgeable. This video is very informative and I love how she shares ways to bring it into the classroom. I enjoyed the video.

Your playlist was informative and addressed a more child centered audience. I did the same for my audience to use this playlist as a tool in my elementary classroom. We both chose the same introduction video by CommonSense media on Digital citizenship. I noticed that you included a video that showed the importance of teaching digital citizenship which is skated over in most school settings in favor of just getting devices in students hands. I noticed that your videos were engaging for students. There were effective visuals with animated characters and bright colors. While some videos lacked narration, the graphics and audio made up for it. You did a great job in focusing on Cyberbullying as this is a huge issue in the digital world. Great job!

I especially loved the video "Teaching Digital Citizenship: Why it's important & Ideas for Hoe to Teach." This resources gave lots of great tips for teachers as well. Great job on your playlist! They are appealing and engaging to young viewers, and overall, your videos were credible and referenced valuable websites and other citations.

I really enjoyed the videos you chose. It connected so well to us as teachers. Digital safety is such an important component to teach our children.

I enjoyed reading the definitions of Digital Citizenship and the need for teaching this topic across content areas.

[DigitalAwarnessAroundtheWorld]

This is a great video on digital citizenship. The speaker is very clear and easy for students to understand. I would say that this video would be better for those of a later elementary age or older. The information is very good, but it might go over the heads of smaller-aged kids. I love how this video covered many different types of content and included pictures to help inform you about it.

@Amanda Winchester, this is a great explanation of digital citizenship with points to teach on! The videos in your playlist also follow a good sequence and give a broad perspective of different aspects of digital citizenship.

@HeatherBurcham3858 All of the videos you selected adequately represent each part of digital citizenship. AI is the most up-and-coming issue that teachers are learning about. I enjoyed the TED talk about cybersecurity. I didn't realize that AI had so many security issues. Thank you for the information!
