Year 11 English - Digital Citizenship - Focus Questions

Hi All,

here are the focus questions and activities from the past two sessions:

Cyberbullying:
  1. Are actions in an online community (like the slurs on the website) different than actions taken offline (like the notes left on someone’s locker at the school)? Why, or why not?
  2. How are anonymous actions – like posting on a website or leaving a note – different from things done face-to-face?
  3. Imagine you were a bystander at this school, watching this situation unfold. What do you think you would have done? Do bystanders have a responsibility to do anything?
  4. What should you think about before you post anything about another person online, in an instant message, text, or any other kind of digital message?
  5. Someone posts a picture of your friend with some nasty comments, and other kids make fun of him or her.  What would a bystander do in this situation? What would an upstander do? What would you do?
  6. Aside from a target, who else can be impacted by online cruelty? Who else could be involved, implicitly or explicitly?

    Online representations:

    Create 3 different avatars for the following contexts:
    1. A school social network where teachers, students, and parents communicate
    2. A social network where you connect mainly with friends and people you know
    3. Second Life (www.secondlife.com), where you communicate mainly with people you don’t know in real life
    Remember these are digital texts, so you may wish to create these digitally.
