Lesson 1
Being Online
Do you know how much time you spend online? How many activities in your day involve using the Internet? Start this unit by asking the children to reflect on their use of the internet and how much time they spend online.
Does your class know the difference between watching a DVD and streaming a film? Do any of the games they play require them to be connected to the internet? Begin making connections between the different activities the children may do and how the internet has become such an integral part of everyone's everyday life. Can the children discuss any rules that they may already know for being online?

Challenge the children to become search engines themselves and present different search results to people's digital footprints. Can they rank the different search results based on their relevance to the person's online data?
