The activities below can help reinforce the material in this What’s Up ® workbook when used in the classroom. Many are experiential, helping students work together to better understand issues related to social media and to improve skills needed for success in school and life. You can also use these activities to help students meet select Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts (CCSS.ELA) and for Mathematics (CCSS.Mathematics). Correlations to specific standards are listed below each activity. Visit www.corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy and www.corestandards.org/Math to learn more. ® Teacher’s/Leader’s Guide for Pages 4-5—Benefits bonanza Answers to the “Connections” activity may leave room for debate. Are there other scenarios students would include for any of the 9 benefits, beyond those included as answers on page 7 of the workbook? Ask this question, and discuss responses as a class. Encourage any additions, to reinforce the positive uses of social networking. You can also extend the benefits activity by asking students if they are aware of other social networking benefits, in addition to the 9 listed in the workbook. “Referee” any responses that may stray into dangerous territory—such as “I can meet people from many different countries”—by pointing out possible hidden dangers. Finally, have students share their responses from the page 5 writing activity. Ask them to refer to friends/acquaintances simply as “my friend” or similar, instead of using names, when talking about their social media experiences.

(Organize this as a cross-curricular activity if your students also take art.) Students create a visual representation of themselves and combine it with pieces of text that describe their digital behaviors, much as the portrait of Digital Citizen (DC) in the workbook does. The visual representation can be: • a drawing • a photo • a combination (such as a digital photo embellished by the student with design software, or a collage combining a photo of the student with other photos). Encourage students to use concrete examples for each of the 8 characteristics included in the portrait of DC in the workbook. For example, for “balanced,” students can include what limits they with Social Media Please read: Talk to a professional! This guide is not a substitute for the advice of a qualified expert.
