This 5th-grade technology lesson focuses on teaching students essential internet skills and the importance of netiquette. Over the course of one hour, students will learn effective search techniques for finding reliable information online and understand how to communicate respectfully in digital environments. The lesson begins with discussions and definitions of key concepts, followed by direct instruction with a slide presentation and handouts.
Students will engage in guided practice by conducting online searches and participating in role-playing activities that illustrate appropriate online behavior. They’ll also write a paragraph demonstrating their understanding of netiquette rules, which they will share with a partner. The lesson concludes with a recap of learning points and a homework assignment that encourages students to apply these skills in real-world contexts. Throughout the lesson, student participation and understanding will be assessed through their written work and engagement in discussions.
