Since it's a short week, I am sending a Tech Tip Tuesday on Monday. This week is Digital Citizenship Week over at Common Sense Education!
Please take some time out of your classes this week to talk about digital citizenship. Below are some questions to give you some ideas on how to get started discussing digital citizenship with your students. Feel free to pick one or two that apply in your classroom, or do your own thing.
- How can students source and use content for multimedia projects safely and ethically?
- What can students do to keep themselves safe in their social media environments?
- How can we manage and minimize the negative impact of our "digital footprint?"
- How will I show appreciation and respect for any intellectual property provided for free online?
- How can I share my interests and skills with others?
- How can we preserve and protect our health when using technology?
- How can we use technology and teamwork to help local and global communities?
- How can we help people in different parts of the world lead better lives?
- What can we do to stand up against bullying and cyberbullying?
- What projects can students collaborate on to learn about other world cultures?
Not convinced digital citizenship should be taught in all classrooms? Read this blog post from TeachThought titled 5 Reasons You Should Be Teaching Digital Citizenship. Or read this blog post from ISTE titled Digital Citizenship is the New Citizenship.
Want more? There are a bunch of resources on Common Sense Media's Digital Citizenship Week web page. Google also has some digital citizenship lessons here.
Happy Digital Citizenship Week!
