Please note: to easily see the comments that were added to the outcome maps, you will need to download the pdfs and open with Adobe. The internet version isn’t quite the same.
You are also able to print these with the continuum connections by following the graphic below the links.

How I got here…
I was inspired by my content catalyst project to try to create a document that will make it simple for teachers to incorporate digital responsibility and digital citizenship into their teaching without having to find additional resources.
I really love the SunWest School division Outcome Maps and always had them posted beside my desk, so I wanted to use that in some way and build on it.
Where I ran into issues:
- How am I going to add them to a PDF? There is a word document version of the outcome maps, but it doesn’t include the Treaty Ed Outcomes… maybe I will have to re-type it?
- I want to connect everything to the Digital Citizenship Continuum from the Ministry of Education… how am I going to fit that on there as well?
- As I started to type outcomes on a table and include information from the continuum, I felt like teachers wouldn’t find it beneficial to have multiple documents (we want to keep it as simple as possible), so I came back to the idea of using the PDF.
- I googled how to add notes to the PDF, and came up with adding sticky note comments. But what if teachers want to print?
- I learned that they can summarize comments in the printing selection, so I will need to include instructions on that…
- It was very frustrating having to change the author of each comment to “Digital Citizenship Connection” – this took so much time… until I found out I could just update the author name and save that time.
Overall, trying different formats and figuring things out took a lot more time than I anticipated. I was hoping to complete this for grades 5-8, but ended up with just two grades. I also found it was more challenging to relate outcomes directly to the continuum, but I wanted to keep it aligned to this document as much as possible.
I will share this with our grade 5 and 6 teachers, and if they see benefit to it, it’s definitely something I’ll keep chipping away at!
Hi Jenni!
I too am making a resource for parents/teachers/students to use – specifically on the apps that kids are using and the full behind the scenes that people aren’t knowing about or seeing because no one has time or a love to read 56 pages about an app.
What program are you using to create your poster (which looks great BTW)? I was planning on just making my document on Canva, but I am open to suggestions if you are using something else!
I look forward to the final piece!
Thanks, Kelsey 🙂 I’m keeping it as a PDF file, as I was struggling to find a way to do what I wanted on any other platform. I’m interested to see what yours looks like!
