Back in December, I applied for a Lytle Education Foundation grant.  The grant addressed the need to raise awareness among Lytle Junior High students on digital citizenship.  In the grant, I budgeted for a green screen kit, studio lighting, camera and tripod, as well as video and photo editing software.  The idea is that the 6th graders will take what they have learned about digital citizenship and use our audio/video equipment to create different forms of media to spread the message around campus.  The four pillars of digital citizenship which will be addressed are: cyberbullying, safety/privacy, digital footprint, and copyright.  Students will create PSAs, flyers, and handouts to be distributed and viewed by our entire student body.  Everything that students create will be judged and voted on, and this is how we will decide what will be mass produced for distribution among our student body.  We started working on this project on Monday, and by Friday of this week, students should have a rough draft for their 90-second long PSA.  As we continue moving through this project, I will be blogging along the way and posting pictures of our progress.  I hope we can turn this into a yearly event, so I really would like to keep track of what works and what doesn't so that we can adjust for the coming years!
