Tool 10

1. Discuss at least three things you would want to make sure your students understand about being good digital citizens.

This is an area where I'll be reiterating what the kids have heard from their teachers and school librarian.  Human beings tend to "get it" when we hear the same thing from different sources.  I'll be sure to emphasize:

. just because it's on the internet doesn't make it true (my rule of thumb has been - find three sources to back it up)

. just as in other parts of your life, use integrity whey you're on line

. one suggestion from my soon to be freshman son: don't click on adds that go to your school account email - use common sense

2. Share at least one of the resources mentioned above or on the Ed Tech website that you plan to use instructionally.

3. Explain briefly how you would "teach" the idea of digital citizenship to your students.

 

I can create a "digital citizenship" rap, in conjunction with what the homeroom teachers are emphasizing in their classrooms, to use in my classes.  The kids can help me compose the rap and we'll record it.

 

4. Explain briefly how you plan to share the idea of digital citizenship with your parents.

Once my students write, rehearse, and record the "digital citizenship" rap we'll email it to all of their parents.
