Digital+Footprint

You are grade 8 student leaders. What is your footprint? How can you help other students to understand how to manage their online/digital footprint. Possible topics are:
* Connected Culture * Safety * Security * Digital Citizens * Privacy & Footprint * Respecting Creative Work

Students will be able to:

 * Identify and define authentic problems and significant questions for investigation
 * Plan and manage activities to develop a solution or complete a project
 * Collect and analyze data to identify solutions and/or make informed decisions

Students will be able to:

 * 1) design, code, test, and execute a program that corresponds to a set of specifications,
 * 2) select appropriate programming structures,
 * 3) locate and correct errors in a program,
 * 4) justify the correctness of a program,
 * 5) connect computation with other disciplines,
 * 6) communicate thought processes and results.


 * CC Literacy**
 * 1) Present information, findings, and supporting evidence, such that viewers can follow the line of reasoning.
 * 2) Present information so that the organization, development and style are appropriate to task, purpose and audience.


 * Stage 1: Investigate**
 * Digital Citizenship and Digital Footprint**
 * View the slideshows of previous students at Digital Citizenship
 * Decide on a topic to use to create an animation using Scratch. Review the information in the links on the left side of the Digital Citizenship link above if necessary to decide on a topic for your animation.
 * //Keep track of all resources used//. You will include a list of resources in MLA format in the Notes and Credits of the project page when it is placed in the Digital Footprint studio.


 * Stage 2: Design**
 * Content Design for your Digital Footprint animation using Scratch**
 * 1) Decide on a topic for Digital Citizenship/Digital Footprint.
 * 2) Your target audience is ICS students in middle school. The content, the language and the images must be appropriate for these students at ICS.
 * 3) Be sure to indicate a digital footprint problem and how to prevent or to solve the problem. Think about realistic problems students might face and provide several possible solutions. Be honest and real.
 * Technical Design for your Digital Footprint animation using Scratch**
 * 1) Create a slideshow with at least 2 backgrounds.
 * 2) Use speech bubbles to explain a Digital Citizenship/Digital Footprint concept.
 * 3) At least 2 sprites must have speech bubbles. Remember your own digital footprint. All backgrounds, all sprites, all content must be a good representation of ICS.
 * 4) Must have animation/motion.
 * 5) All sprites must be in the correct position on the correct stage on Green Flag
 * 6) Include a broadcast signal or some way to communicate to the Stage or between sprites.
 * 7) Include at least one **Control** event (**repeat**, **if** or **if else** or **if sprite clicked on, or even a broadcast,** etc.) -- **Wait** command may be used but is **not counted** as a Control even
 * 8) Spelling and grammar must be correct
 * 9) When the animation is done, share it and place it in the Digital Footprint studio.


 * Stage 3: Plan**
 * 1) background
 * 2) images you will import.
 * 3) what sprites you will use.


 * Stage 4: Create**
 * 1) Create the program. Name it **Digital Footprin**t.
 * 2) Make sure you save it frequently.
 * 3) Ask Mrs. Carrier to approve the program. then Share it and place it in the Digital Footprint studio.
 * 4) Use EasyBib to create MLA formatted citations for at least 2 resources that you used. Place these in the Notes and Credits section of your project in the Digital Footprint Studio.


 * Stage 5: Evaluate**
 * Answer the following questions**
 * 1) **Remembering**: What did you do in the project? What was your inspiration?
 * 2) **Understanding**: What was important about it? What did you learn?
 * 3) **Applying**: Where could I use this again?
 * 4) **Analyzing**: Do I see any patterns in what I did? What did you get stuck on? How did you get unstuck? Who in the class viewed your story? Who helped you with useful tips and suggestion?
 * 5) **Evaluating**: How well did I do? Did you include everything in your design? If something was not included, explain why. What are you most proud of? Why?
 * 6) **Creating**: What should I do next? What do you want to learn next?
