Tool #10

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

One: Understand the right way to use the devices.

Two: Safely navigate around the unfiltered world of technology. There are so many things out there that are not appropriate for students.

Three: Understand what is an appropriate app or source of technology for them to use.

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

I will show the one minute video on digital citizenship. I want them to understand how much freedom they will be given and what the right and wrong ways are to use that freedom.

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

I would teach the idea of digital citizenship just as I teach my students how to act in the classroom. They will be given the expectations and know their boundaries. They would be reminded that with all of this freedom comes a ton of responsibilities.

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

I will share the same idea of digital citizenship with the parents just as I have with my classroom. I will present the information to my parents at Back to School Night as well as send a letter home with my students. I think that it is very important that the parents understand what is expected from their child in terms of digital citizenship.
