Post Test with Digital Badge 

To further motivate my students, I created a post test that supplied students with a digital badge at the end to show off their digital literacy skills to other students.

Website Evaluation Rubric

Using various resources found online, I created a rubric for my students to use when evaluating websites. Clicking the image on the right will take you to the google doc containing the rubric. The rubric greatly helped my students distinguish between a credible and not credible website.

End of Unit Task - Create an Infographic

At the end of the digital literacy hyperdoc, students were asked to create an infographic for younger students about how to evaluate websites for credibility. All of the hyperdocs that I create use tools from the basic Google For Education "Gsuite" and teachers and students will need a Google account to be able to access and use them. Students used a blank Google Drawing for their infographic and submitted their work to me through Google Classroom. In addition to students submitting their work to me through Google Classroom, I wanted to create a more authentic audience for them. I had students post their final infographic to Padlet so that other members of the class (and my other classes) could view their final project. I found through surveys that students really enjoyed being able to see what their friends in other classes had created and also to get some ideas and inspiration. I also saw the quality of student work increase when they had a peer audience that they would be publishing to.

The image below shows the padlet where students found their class period and posted their final project. On my How To Page you can see directions for how to set up an assignment like this for your students. ​
