Three things that make a good digital citizen:
This tool was very helpful because sometimes it is easy to forget these things.
-Follow the Golden Rule of "Do unto others as you would have them do to you." I try to live by this daily. I also discuss it at least once a day with my students.
-Whatever you put in the computer it is there for the world to see.
-NEVER give your password to your friends. Kids love to tell each other everything, especially if it is a secret!
One of the resources mentioned above or on the Ed Tech website that I plan to use instructionally is Brain Pop. Brain Pop is such a great resource to integrate technology into the classroom! The kids love it and it also offers things for those who need things to be a little more difficult. The kids LOVE taking the hard quiz at the end of the activity... gives them a little challenge! The kids are held accountable by taking the quiz at the end- it could be used for a grade in the grade book! I already use this as an enrichment to my curriculum. This website is easy to access at home, too!
Explain briefly how you would "teach" the idea of digital citizenship to your students.
Theresa Trevino has done a great job of answering this question. Please visit her blog and read her explanation. Theresa Trevino's Blog - Tool #10
Explain briefly how you plan to share the idea of digital citizenship with your parents.
Back to School night is a great opportunity to communicate this to parents. Parents should sign a digital citizenship agreement that would hold them accountable for being aware of the procedures. I also agree with Meredith Ridner on her idea of adding blurbs to our blogs and newsletters and present them as "tips" to parents on a regular basis!
