  • B. Create a Poster with Tech or Low-Tech

Be creative, demonstrate your knowledge, and cite your sources if you use images.

A. Slide Deck Activity

Download or make a copy of the 6.Q2 Protecting Yourself and Others Online Slide Deck.

  • Add your initials or name and save it to your file space.
  • Follow the directions in the slide deck to complete the activity. You may wish to replay the video as you add responses and images to the slides.

B. Poster Activity

Use the information you learned from the video Protecting Reputations Online (2:30).

There are two options for creating your poster:

  • Low-tech: Draw your own or print out some copyright-free images and paste them on paper. Use markers, etc., to make a poster, take a picture of it, and share it with your teacher per the instructions. 
  • Techie: Use a word-processing tool (Google Docs, Microsoft Office/365, or other) and include free images, and add headline fonts or other features.

Here is a Poster Rubric for you to use when creating your poster.

Check with your teacher. They may have an educational account with a poster-making website with specific directions for you. (e.g.; Canva)

FYI: Additional sites for copyright-free images are listed below in the Additional Resources section. In addition, you may want to add music from Mobygratis.
