Material Detail

This Grade 8 Digital Technology resource set — comprising of the Teacher Guide, Learner-Facing Material, and Assessment Instrument Pack — provides a complete learning and teaching framework on Digital Citizenship and Online Safety in South Africa. It covers five interconnected topic areas: digital identity and footprint, personal information and privacy (including POPIA awareness), phishing and scams with password safety, cyberbullying and netiquette, and trustworthy information with copyright, plagiarism and referencing.  

The materials are fully aligned with the CAPS curriculum for Senior Phase Digital Technology (pp. 14, 22, 26), ensuring that lessons and assessments meet national standards. The learner guide includes amongst great content, a Sepedi-English glossary. The Teacher Guide offers structured lesson plans, suggested activities, and differentiation strategies, while the Learner Guide presents accessible explanations and scenarios. The Assessment Pack includes formative tools such as an exit ticket and a summative 40-mark scenario-based test, supported by memoranda and rubrics. Designed for teachers and learners in Grade 8, the resource promotes safe, responsible, respectful, and ethical digital behavior, while remaining low-cost and adaptable for diverse classroom contexts.
