Author: Matthew Johnson, Director of Education, MediaSmarts
Level: Grades K to 3
Lesson Length: 40 to 60 minutes
Lesson Link: http://mediasmarts.ca/teacher-resources/internet-time-capsule
Description: In this lesson, students learn about the concept of “time capsules” and then apply the idea by selecting time capsule contents to represent both the time they live in and their own lives and tastes. They then extend this idea to online content, making a “time capsule” of any online content connected to them. Younger students finish the lesson by creating a group Internet time capsule, while older students finish by considering what online content they might like to remove or keep out of their “time capsules.”
