YouTube is a resource for finding classroom content and a place where students can also share their work. But like many things, there are rules and ways to use it responsibly. Aimed at secondary students (ages 13-17), Google’s Curriculum resource “Understanding YouTube and Digital Citizenship” helps school librarians and teachers share ways that students can learn that responsibility and the skills to become better digital citizens.
The site has many tools and lesson plans to use. Here are some of the things you’ll find:
YouTube’s policies
Cyberbullying
How to report content on YouTube
How to protect their privacy online
How to be responsible YouTube community members
How to be responsible digital citizens
From Google: “We hope that students and educators gain useful skills and a holistic understanding about responsible digital citizenship, not only on YouTube, but in all online activity.”
