Tool #10 - Underneath it All - Digital Citizenship

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



  • Follow the Golden Rule of "Do unto others as you would have them do to you.

  • Realize that whatever you put down on paper or in the computer it is there for the world to see.
    If you use another's idea, always give credit to that person.


  • Know that you should NEVER give your password to your friends. Be NICE on the internet, and ask parents/adults before visiting websites.


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



Brain Pop - this is such a great resource to seamlessly 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. It holds accountability because the kids can take a quiz using their activates - which then can be used a grade in the grade book! I will use this as an enrichment to my curriculum that I am doing already. I have taught GT students in the past and found this website to be user friendly and easy to access at home and independently.




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



Please read Theresa Trevino's Blog - Tool #10 - She has summed this question up perfectly!



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



Back to School Night will be the perfect place to share this information and I will share the sites mentioned above so parents will know about digital citizenship.
