Task 1:
For older kids, try working through this personal branding workbook to help students discover their strengths, passions, and values. Use it to help them define their brand and how they might make an impact. Have students participate in a mock job interview where they use their personal brand to answer questions about who they are in a real-life scenario.
Task 2:
For younger children, try this lesson from Common Sense Media to start talking about leaving a digital trail. Also check out this interview with Kathy Cassidy for the “how” and the “why” of digital footprints in the primary grades.
Task 3:
BrainPop is a great resource for educators, though a lot of their content is paid. Fortunately, they have a free video and lesson around blogging! This challenge asks you to teach your students (geared toward a younger audience) about blogging, and then implement one of their lessons implementing blogs! Consider having students blog about their passion, doing some creative writing, or starting a blog to raise awareness of a special cause!
