The Banzai Digital Citizenship Workbook (recommended for grades 8–12) provides hands-on, unplugged activities that challenge students to think critically about their online behavior and security. Like all Banzai workbooks, it requires no internet connection to complete.
Note: Sponsored teachers can order free printed class sets via the Workbooks tab. If your school is not yet sponsored, you can download printable PDFs and answer keys from Library > Printables.
Activities in the Digital Citizenship Workbook
Passwords and Privacy: Students take on the perspective of an ethical hacker attempting to crack a password using publicly available clues, illustrating how oversharing makes accounts vulnerable.
Clickbait: Students analyze sensationalized headlines, matching each clickbait example to its true underlying story while identifying manipulative language and misconstrued facts.
Tips for Online Games: Students examine common risks associated with online multiplayer gaming—including chat harassment, account trading, and unvetted downloads—and learn strategies to protect their identity and maintain good sportsmanship.
Scams and Malware: Students match real-world examples of phishing, spyware, ransomware, and social engineering scams to their formal definitions and warning signs.
Digital Wellness: Students audit their weekly device and social media usage, evaluating how screen time affects their sleep, focus, mental health, and offline relationships.
Dangerous Websites: Students learn to inspect URLs, verify SSL security certificates, and spot common visual red flags that indicate an unsecure, fraudulent, or malicious website.
Digital Footprint: Students evaluate their existing online presence, exploring how search history, geolocation data, public posts, and app permissions create a permanent and trackable digital record.
