Unit 2 - Overview

We will be watching two videos in class, both produced by Frontline. "Growing Up Online" and "Digital Nation" Links to an external site. These videos are getting older now, but they still have relevant topics that can help people understand complex emotions that are evoked from internet use, in school and at home.

We will be going through a series of questions and discussion topics that relate to the videos.

You will work with fellow group members to come up with a home internet policy that will keep a family of five safe online. See the rubric below.

Finally, you will reflect on your SLATE blog about this unit and what you have learned.
