# Didactic proposal

Safer Internet is the second resource within the series of open educational resources entitled What a Digital World! aimed at EFL students of the 2nd year of compulsory secondary education. However, as a teacher, you can implement this material on other levels, by adapting or modifying its contents.

Throughout its sections, students will learn about some tips on how to recognize secure websites and how to search on the web effectively. With this resource and regarding the new education law, students will also learn and practice contents, procedures and attitudes related to the basic knowledge areas of communication, multilingualism and intercultural values.

By working on this resource, students will face some individual activities, but also some collaborative tasks and a final project in which they will use all their knowledge and will demonstrate how able they are to develop and consolidate some specific and key competences in several learning situations similar to those in which people may get involved in real life.

Safer Internet has been designed to achieve the following objectives:

- to learn while working on a project.
- to encourage collaborative work, since most assignments require information sharing and interaction with other students.
- to foster students' self-learning process by using IT resources.
- to reinforce students' communicative skills through activities of listening and reading comprehension, but above all, through tasks which they must produce their own oral and written messages.

The project includes several stages that students will need to go through to eventually do the final challenge based on the design of a flyer promoting Internet security. Within this learning resource, relevant language contents can be practised and a wide range of tasks (named missions in this OER) is presented so that students get encouraged to practise and improve the linguistic skills required for their final output.

About the project is the first section of the project containing information about the channels that students will use to publish and share all their work as we think that they will be happy to showcase their outputs to both, familiy and classmates. From the wide range of websites and social networks available, we suggest that students have their own site at weebly.com, just like a portfolio, where they can post all their work and complete a Learning diary that will help them reflect on their own learning process.

Encourage students to design their site following a clear structure. Their site must contain at least these pages:

- Homepage, the first and main page which must include a title, index, images and a description of the project.
- My writing guide. This page will include all the student's writing tasks and tips for good writing.
- Internet vocabulary . Students will include here links to the wordmaps and charts that they create using key vocabulary.
- My digital resources.. On this page, students will publish the links to the digital material that they will have created in their tasks like their digital poster, slideshow or a voki recording.

On the other hand, students can use Pinterest to share their outcome with the people they like. Google drive apps will be also used for writing texts and preparing presentations collaborativelly. Besides, students can collect and add notes about vocabulary and grammar using online tools such as Cacoo and Canva.

The other parts of this resource are listed in the Learning Path section of this didactic guideline. In this section, we include the learning objectives as well as the recommended timing for each stage of the project

This resource can be approached from several didactic departments working in a collaborative way.

- Spanish Language The topic of this resource is the Internet and EFL students have the chance to learn and reflect on the large amount of English words related to this topic which they also use in their own mother tongue. This way, they will be able to recognize more easily their meaning and they will become aware of how important the English language is on the worldwide web.
- Ethics. Teachers from this department may contribute by instilling students some moral principles on what is right and what is wrong when surfing the web.
- The Arts teacher can work collaborativelly with the English teacher when monitoring the students in the design of flyers promoting a secure use of the Internet.
- Information and Communication Technology. The IT teacher can take part by helping students recognize what secure websites look like.

One way or another, all the didactic departments can take action on the contents of this resource, think them over and suggest other optional tasks that facilitate students the acquisition of the linguistic contents included and the development of the key and specific competences contemplated in the curriculum of the English subject.

# Assessment

We highlight the formative character of the evaluation process within this resource. Along the project, teachers will be observing and monitoring the students' work and will use a system of rubrics to assess their performance in every task. These rubrics contain relevant criteria to detect any difficulties in the students' competential development and, with the feedback that these tools provide, teachers can readjust contents and take action in one way or another to help students perform their work successfully.

The evaluation process will also have both, a diagnostic nature and a summative nature.. All in all, the students' work will be assessed throughout the whole learning process. Find below some more information about the stages in the assessment process.

## At the beginning of the resource

- Diagnostic assessment. Teachers can ask some prompt questions to students so that they get some feedback and check students' previous knowledge about the topic they are about to study. Also, at this stage, teachers should inform students about the tools that will be used to assess their work, that is, rubrics, learning diary to assess students' own work and assessment sheets to evaluate their peers' work.

## During the process

Teachers will assess their students' work by observation in class and they will use the rubrics listed below. These rubrics contain the relevant criteria to identify progress or difficulties in the students' leaning process. Each rubric is associated with a task in each section.

- Rubric to assess a slide presentation
- Rubric for assessing a Voki recording
- Rubric for assessing informative/explanatory texts
- Rubric for assessing a board on Pinterest
- Rubric for assessing a digital poster
- Rubric for assessing a digital site, where students will publish all their work of this and other projects.

Apart from the rubrics, students will be able to self-assess their work by completing a learning diary with which they can reflect on how well they are doing.

Peer evaluation. Throughout the project, students will be able to assess their classmates' work with an assessment sheet with the items that they consider as relevant. This assessing tool can enrich the learning process since students are required to take on a critical point of view and so they can contribute to improve their classmates' outputs.

## At the end of the process

- Summative evaluation. Considering that the final challenge of the project must gather all the contents that students have learnt and practiced, this OER includes a final project rubric containing the necessary items so that teachers check to what extent students are able to manage the learning situation suggested in the last stage: a campaign promoting a safer use of the Internet.

# Tips for teachers

As a teacher, you may feel free to use the entire resource or just the sections that best match your teaching demands and the real conditions of your class group. Notwithstanding, if you decide to use this resource in its totality, we recommend that you consider the guidelines below before your students start working on the contents.

## Info about structure & contents

Each section features the learning objectives , the contents and the activities that students must do to eventually be able to perform a task. Make sure your students know about the nature of the different tasks and of the final challenge they will be carrying out. You can devote one or two lessons to clarify the different stages throughout the resource and the tools and apps which students are required to use to produce and promote their work.

## Assessment info

Raise students' awareness about how and what you will consider to evaluate their work. Focus their attention on the rubrics of the different tasks and of the final challenge so that they get to know about the way their performance will be assessed.

Encourage students to use their learnig diary so that they can reflect on how well they are performing in their learning process.This learning diary may help students themselves detect some learning difficulties that can be overcome with reinforcement activities facilitated by the teacher.

Within this resource, students can become teachers for a while and assess their classmates' outputs by designing and completing an assessment sheet with items that provide them with some feedback about their peers' performance. After completing this assessment sheet, you can have a class discussion with your students to analize the most common errors and the main difficulties that your class group has detected while analizing their peers' work.

## Info about tools

Clearly, this resource fosters the use of digital devices and includes a wide range of apps to produce and share the students' outputs. However, in case that your students or school suffer from a digital divide , we encourage you to use this resource as a guide and make students work in an analogic way by using cardboards instead of digital posters, notebooks, usable as learning diaries or your classroom notice board, which can be used to publish and share your pupils' work.
