Pause and Think Online is a lesson designed to teach young students how to use the internet safely, responsibly, and respectfully. It uses a catchy song and engaging visuals featuring the Digital Citizens characters to help children understand and remember key principles of digital citizenship, such as thinking before reacting, protecting privacy, recognizing trustworthy content, being kind online, and managing device time. The lesson includes interactive activities, discussion prompts, handouts, and take-home resources to help students reflect on their use of technology. Use this lesson as a short 15 to 25-minute session or extend it into a whole-class session, depending on your schedule. If your district blocks YouTube, then the video may not be viewable.

tag(s): digital citizenship (94), internet safety (114)
In the Classroom
Teach students a simple hand-motion routine that matches the song's ideas (pause, think, protect, be kind). Use it as a warm-up before any digital activity to reinforce safe choices. Show a sample webpage or classroom-safe site, and model pausing and thinking before clicking. Students can then practice in partners, explaining their choices aloud. Give students picture cards of the Digital Citizens characters and brief online scenarios. Have them match each scenario to the character who would give the best advice, just like in the lesson.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.
