As of today, I have conducted the majority of my research. I have given the pre-assessment, the student survey, the parent survey, the teacher survey and six out of eight mini lesson quizzes. However, I have only analyzed the students' pre-assessment and survey results. I still need to teach two mini lessons, give the appropriate quizzes and give the post assessment. Once I have completed these cycles, I need to sit down and analyze/compare all of the results to establish a need for teaching online BEST behaviors through digital citizenship lessons. In this Weebly Blog, you will read the results from the student survey. At of the time of the student survey, I have 17, nine year old students and five, eight year old students. When asked what social media platforms they are on and to check all that apply, 59.1% of this group are using Tic Tok social media, 36.4% also use Snapchat, one student is on Twitter, one student is on Instagram, and 86.4% use YouTube. Tic Tok and YouTube were the overwhelmingly used social media platforms for this age group. Both of these sites are for children 13 years old and older. This group of students prefer gaming (77.3%) over social media (22.7%). The majority of them spend 3 hours or more, outside of school time, online. During this time, 81.8% know the players they interact with online and 18.2% do know the other players online. As for social media usage, 63.6% of the students do not have followers that they don't know but 36.4% do have social media followers that they don't know. Of these same students, 40.9% responded that they have public accounts. When asked whether or not they feel safe online, the majority of the students do feel safe (90.9%) while 9.1% do not feel safe online. The following questions in the survey are geared toward bullying behaviors. The questions were: 1. Have you been called bad names or has someone made bad hokes of you online? 77.3% said no but 22.7% replied yes. 2. Have you had rumors spread about you? 90.9% said no but 9.1% said yes. 3. Have YOU called anyone bad names or made bad jokes about someone online? One student said yes, while 21 others said no. 4. Have you spread rumors about someone else? Two students said yes, while 20 students responded no. 5. Do you play online with people you don't know? 31.8% said yes and 68.2% said no. The results from the last question are similar to the results from the question "Do you have followers that you don't know?" In that question, 36.4% said yes and 63.6% said no. I still have a lot of work to do. However, I am making progress towards my goal, and I am pleased about that! As of now, I am finding that there is a need for digital citizenship lessons, and I look forward to learning more about the results at the completion of my research cycles.

Hi Kimberlee, wow, you've made a lot of progress with your data collection. The circle graph really makes an impact visually. That is also pretty sobering data about how much additional time kids are spending online. I'm guessing that even just participating in the surveys will make the kids think more about their choices. Then when you add the instructional piece, I see your work really making a difference for kids. I look forward to seeing your analysis once you've collected everything. This is inspiring!

Kimberlee this is so interesting! I really want to find out this kind of data about my students. If your little guys are doing that much social media, it muts be really high with my kids. Three hours a day online! I would be so interested to know if those numbers increased because of Covid, or if that was the norm. I think a lot of kids are really missing their sports activities. Some sports have started up again, but not full swing from what my middle schoolers have told me. They all really need sports to get them away from the screens. Thank you for sharing your progress and data with us. It is also really helpful for me ask I look at my data as far as orgainzation.
