Kidblog and Avatars



Today we were very busy in tech club! We started our time with a wrap-up from the week 2 at home lesson. At home, club members and an adult were to review a Nearpod lesson about Online Privacy (all our at home lessons are modified from the Common Sense Media digital citizenship scope and sequence). The lesson focused on what kind of information you should keep to yourself while online. We wrapped up the lesson by kids creating safe passwords for each other. The kids paired up and asked their partner three questions:

1. What is your favorite animal? 
2. What is your favorite movie/TV show/game? 
3. What is your favorite number? 

Next, they used that information to create a safe online password for their partner. They had fun sharing what they came up with to the rest of the group. 

Our second task was to set up each members Kidblog account and create an avatar for their profile picture. We used the site My Blue Robot to create the avatars. Of course, students had a good time creating their avatars but they also learned how to save and upload an image to the blog. Students will soon be using the blogs to share what we are doing in tech club in their own words, so stay tuned...
