Tools Used: Google Slides (student-facing), PDF lesson plan (educator-facing), embedded media and social simulations.
Instructional Strategy: Includes story-based learning, digital citizenship principles, and self-evaluation tools for online choices.

REFLECTION / IMPACT

Learner Response: Students became more mindful of privacy settings and online tone; teachers noted increased digital accountability.
Iteration Ideas: I’d like to include collaborative peer projects where students “audit” or redesign social profiles for empathy and professionalism.
What I Learned: Teaching digital responsibility means meeting learners where they are — not just warning them but giving them the tools to take ownership.
