- In YOUR blog post, discuss at least three things you would want to make sure your students understand about being good digital citizens. Explain briefly how you would "teach" the idea of digital citizenship to your students.
Ideas from Nine Elements of Digital Citizenship
- Digital Etiquette: I think that this element covers a lot of what I expect of my students when they are online and in the traditional classroom. They are to treat others with respect and to behave appropriately when they are siting at a desk or if they are working in an online community. I think that several of the websites make an excellent observation: digital etiquette and responsibility is something that needs to be taught and not simply expected. In the past when I have used Ning in my classroom I have discussed digital etiquette with my students.
- Digital Security: This is so important for anyone working online to understand. Technology can be an important tool, but it also opens up the four walls of a classroom to the rest of the world. The tools we use to access technology and what we create using these tools must be protected from the viruses and corruption of the online world.
- Digital Literacy: As we have been told over and over, teachers today are preparing students for jobs and college majors that do not yet exist. Technology is moving at a fast pace and we need to prepare students to keep up with it. Even if we can't show students how to use every new element of technology as it is created, we can teach them how to work with what they do know to understand new ideas.
