This lesson is designed to build on previous lessons that have connected learners with Smart Footprint, why it is important and why how we share online contributes to creating a positive digital footprint and maintain supportive online relationships.
Prior to this lesson it is helpful to have connected learners with key concepts in our Kawa of Care and Smart Footprint Learning. See the teacher notes for more details and templates that you are welcome to use or repurpose. Plus suggestions for sharing this lesson on your class site.
Consider including opportunities for learners to email you in response to an existing programme of learning. Co-constuct criteria for writing email and make connections with what learners already know from sharing on their blogs and blog commenting e.g.
email also contributes to your digital footprint, is it positive, thoughtful, helpful?
email subject line is clear, draws attention of the reader
proof read your email, does it make sense?
Use more words ... not more exclamation marks or emojis
