This session covers safe, ethical, and responsible use of ICT. Participants learn about cyber safety, data privacy, anti-bullying strategies, copyright and plagiarism, and digital citizenship, including respectful online behaviour and managing digital footprints.
Students create a short lesson plan to teach students about digital footprints, digital responsibility, and respectful online behaviour. They select a target age group, set learning objectives, and outline the lesson structure, including an introduction, core activity (discussion, quiz, or role play), and closure. Groups present their lesson plan and get feedback from lecturer and peers.
Students explore their digital footprint to understand how their online actions shape their digital identity. They search their names and profiles online, review their social media presence, and analyse the information available about them. They then write a short report reflecting on what they discovered, how it aligns with a positive digital identity, and steps to manage and improve their online presence responsibly.
