YouTube has a firm place in the current classroom. From Khan
Academy’s videos to YouTube EDU and beyond, there’s a reason all
these videos are finding a home in schools. In an effort to help
keep the ball rolling, Google just launched a set of 10
interactive lessons designed to support teachers in educating
students on digital citizenship. A topic obviously quite close
to Google’s heart. Google (which owns YouTube) built the lessons
to educate students about YouTube’s policies, how to flag
content, how to be a safer online citizen, and protect their
identities. Below is a list of lessons, and the recommended flow
for delivery. Lessons are designed to fit within 50 minute
classes, but can be adapted to fit your schedule: - What Makes
YouTube Unique – Basic facts and figures (40 minutes) –
