Its a beautiful day to protect our youth! We hope you had a nice long weekend and followed our paths in the world of rest and reset! Today we are back in action. Perfecting our lesson plans, a little arts and craft session, and extra coffee from this amazing group! Check out our lesson plan menu to read up on all our big plans!
Its a beautiful day to protect our youth! Today we are relaxing in the sun. After weeks of lesson planning and creating superheroes we need a small break! Happy Memorial Day. Check back in soon to hear what new ideas come from a clear mind and a little rest. #MentalHealthMatters
Its a beautiful day to protect our youth! Today we are meeting with a group of our peers to discuss successful lesson planning and answer questions as a team. We are excited to work together to improve computer science curriculum among elementary students.
It’s a beautiful day to protect our youth! We are continuing to lesson plan, today we will be working with Scratch Jr and discovering all it has to offer our students! I love the creativity of this team. Check back in for fun new updates and maybe a sneak peak into some of our art projects.
It’s a beautiful day to protect our children! Thanks for sticking with us through this journey, we are in for another day of lesson planning. As a team we are working hard to keep out lessons short, attention grabbing, and accessible for all students. If a lesson plan does not follow our guidelines we will aim to find ways to adapt the lesson or change it completely!
We believe it is important for students to understand the value of their personal information. We have created a series of 10 lessons designed for 3rd grade students in Washington state, aimed at teaching them how to protect their information online. Aligned with Washington state standards 1b-cs-02, 1b-ap-10, and 1b-ni-05, each 30-minute lesson will be interactive, engaging, and age-appropriate, using Scratch Jr. as the primary software tool for learning. Scratch Jr. is a coding language designed specifically for young learners, making it the perfect tool for teaching students how to create programs with loops and conditionals. We will also be incorporating art as an additional subject, helping students to explore their creativity while learning about technology. The addition of art to our project can make it more interactive with students and make our lessons more accessible for students and districts with limited access to technology.
Our lessons will cover a wide range of topics, including what a computer is, how to create a program, and how to protect yourself online. We will teach students how to protect their personal information online, from creating strong passwords to avoiding phishing scams. By the end of our series of lessons, students will not only have a greater understanding of online safety but also be equipped with the tools they need to protect themselves and others online. Students should also have a baseline knowledge of computers and their functions. As technology continues to play a vital role in our lives, we believe it’s essential to educate our children on how to navigate the digital world safely. We look forward to bringing our lessons to Washington state classrooms and helping to empower the next generation of digital citizens.
It’s a beautiful day to protect our children! Maybe a little too beautiful, that sun gives no breaks! Today our team has selected the Washington state standards 1b-cs-02, 1b-ap-10, 1b-ni-05 to work with when designing intentional lesson plans.
It’s a beautiful day to protect our children! Today we are beginning to lesson plan and create both team and individual activities to expand student knowledge around personal data. We believe students should not only know their important information, but also how powerful it is and where it is safe.
It’s a beautiful day to protect our children! Today we are researching Washington State standards and beyond to better understand what each community values in Technology Education and Comprehensive Computer Science. Check back in soon for more updates.
We aim to educate 3rd-5th grade students on the importance on online identity and personal data. Our series of lesson plans will align with Washington state standards 1b-cs-02, 1b-ap-10, 1b-ni-05. It will be teaching students how to protect their online personal information. We will be using Scratch jr., and we will include art as an additional subject. Through the process of designing our lesson plans we have become deeply invested in the safety of our youth. We believe it is important to equip students with the right tools to protect themselves through comprehensive education. Our goals with this series of lessons is to prepare the next generation of digital citizens to protect themselves from online data stealers. We will do this by having the children create superheroes to protect their personal data and then make a game or video that helps show why they are important! We also want to show that technology can be fun while also being safe for all ages.
