Unidad 6: mi vida conectada
I retooled an old Social Media unit. In previous years we focused on Social Networks, Cyberbullying and Digital Citizenship, but students indicated that there was a big overlap with what they studied in Computer class. I changed the focus to how being connected to technology affects their lives.
I started the unit on a day when I had 10 minutes remaining in the class. In the hallway, I posted pieces of paper with different Social Media and communication modes that use technology. Each student received stickers and indicated which ones they use. It was eye-opening! I think that doing this REALLY helped me to focus and continually revisit the unit's big idea: how being connected to technology impacts our lives. Next year, I will include more formative assessments to the unit.
