I decided to watch this video because we have an 8th grade course at the middle school which is entirely devoted to the teaching of Digital Citizenship. I was hoping to see ways in which the concepts are taught, but I enjoyed watching the examples of the projects that were created.
Project based learning does allow students to develop a deeper sense of a concept. They present it in a manner that makes sense to their learning style. Some of the projects were very powerful. The first one was set up as a public service announcement which addressed the issue of driving while texting (DWT). I also thought the example of stealing online was done well.
I would have like more information about how they conducted their research with their global partners. This brought in a collaboration piece that we have talked about in this course. I did visit the Digiteens website and was still not clear on how they managed their partnerships or what exactly they did with their partners.
Bottom line, it was interesting.
