Online Digital Literacy

We are living in a digital age, and almost every aspect of our life involves digital technology.

Communication, digital media, science, medicine, finance, etc., every one of these areas in our lives is touched by digital technology, and we use the Internet to access every one of these areas of our lives.

So what does it mean to be a digital citizen? Today, you will begin an online program that will lead you through multiple elements of digital literacy and responsibility. Best of all...this program is a lot of fun!

To use "Ignition Digital Literacy and Responsibility" program:

• Open Chrome.
• Go to the EverFi Ignition website to create your new account.
• Type in the class code Ms. Kline has provided.
• Click "I'm a student".
• Create a student account; you do NOT need an email address.
• Write down your user name and password in your agenda.
• Click "Finished!"

You will now begin the program which will take you on an animated journey through an imaginary digital world to teach you how to be a responsible digital citizen. You will work on each module until you complete the program and then you will be able to organize a visit to your school from an imaginary rock band. After each module, you will discuss the topic with your table team and give feedback in your Google Classroom.

To use the program:

• Click Log In in the right hand upper corner.
• Enter your user name and password.
• Check your progress bar.
• Click "Continue" to begin the course.

• Don't forget to log out before you leave every day.
