The learning goal of this class is for students to learn how to responsibly use the internet and to build each individual student into a responsible digital citizen.  

I have over two years of experience teaching young students between the ages of 2 and 16 in an online environment. I love being able to positively influence my students all while having fun in class!

Homework Offered
Learners will work individually on the daily and weekly assignments.  

Each week beginning on Monday I will post one topical video per day for 4 or 5 days (either Monday through Thursday or Monday through Friday).  The videos are given to the students in the Outschool Classroom discussion thread via a link to an EdPuzzle video.  Students do not require any login nor software download to access and complete the videos.  EdPuzzle removes advertisements (e.g., from YouTube videos) and allows the teacher to add comprehension questions throughout the video for students to answer.  

Towards the end of the week, either on Friday or Saturday, I will post the Discussion Assignment in the discussion thread of the Outschool Classroom.  Students are required to use critical thinking skills to answer questions either directly (that have a correct/incorrect answer), or opinion-based.  Opinion-based questions will require the student to explain the basis and reasoning for their opinion.  Students will also need to read and respond to other students' and teacher comments.  
2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Students are assessed informally by the teacher and will be given a certificate of mastery upon completion of all assigned activities.
