Overview

Digital Citizenship and Online Safety helps students apply responsible choices online through a Grade 6 computer science lesson bundle aligned to a General framework. Across 6 worksheets, learners explore cyberbullying, scams, digital footprints, passwords, and privacy so they can use digital tools safely and thoughtfully in real life.

What's Included

• ✅ Cyberbullying and Respectful Response Grade 6 Computer Science Lesson – Students examine respectful communication practices and identify safer response strategies.
• ✅ Recognizing Scams and Phishing Computer Science Worksheet Grade 6 – Students practice spotting red flags of phishing and scams using scenario-based reasoning.
• ✅ Organizing Data in Tables Computer Science Worksheet Grade 6 – Students learn to organize information into tables to support clearer thinking and analysis.
• ✅ Digital Footprints and Online Reputation Grade 6 Computer Science – Students connect online actions to long-term digital footprints and reputation impacts.
• ✅ Strong Passwords and Account Protection Grade 6 Computer Science – Students evaluate password choices and learn protection habits that reduce account risk.
• ✅ Personal Information and Privacy Worksheet Grade 6 Computer Science – Students categorize personal information and apply privacy rules to everyday decisions.

Skills & Standards

Within the General framework, students develop core digital citizenship and cybersecurity habits by using evidence-based decision-making, modeling cause-and-effect, and explaining reasoning in context. They practice analyzing communication and online content for potential harm, applying criteria to determine whether information requests are trustworthy, and using structured representations (tables) to interpret details accurately. Students also strengthen analytical reasoning by comparing scenarios, predicting outcomes of different choices, and justifying recommendations using facts and digital-safety principles. Throughout the unit, learners produce short written responses and structured notes that demonstrate understanding of responsible behavior, privacy protections, and secure account practices—key skills that transfer to classroom tool use, school technology policies, and community participation.

Perfect For

• Teachers seeking structured instruction
• Sub plans
• Homework or review
• Intervention or centers
• Assessment preparation

How to Use

Use this single unit over about 1–3 weeks. Start with a brief warm-up prompt (e.g., “What’s one respectful way to respond online?”), then follow each worksheet with guided discussion anchored to the lesson scenarios. For checks for understanding, use exit tickets tied to the day’s decision skill (scam red flags, privacy categories, or password strategies) and finish with an end-of-unit review that compares digital footprints and protection steps across cases.

Closing

When students can explain their choices, they build safer habits that support learning and collaboration everywhere they go online. 😊
