Discuss at least three things you would want to make sure your students understand about being good digital citizens.
I believe students need to understand how to determine the accuracy of sources on the internet. It is completely true that many of our children believe if it is found online, it is indeed truth, which is very concerning and must be addressed. In addition, students need to regard all converstions online with anyone they don't know as conversations with strangers. Also, cyberbullying is a big problem and must be discussed. Students need to feel comfortable to report any type of this activity.
2. Share at least one of the resources mentioned above or on the Ed Tech website that you plan to use instructionally.
I liked the site called Cyberethics for Kids and I also am a continuous fan of Brain Pop in teaching concepts such as this.
3. Explain briefly how you would "teach" the idea of digital citizenship to your students.
I will be introducing this concept of digital citizenship using Brain Pop and Cyberethics for Kids. I will be modeling lessons on how to determine the credibility of internet sources as well.
4. Explain briefly how you plan to share the idea of digital citizenship with your parents.
It is extremely important to communicate with parents regarding internet safety, and even though Open House can be a good forum for this conversation, it is necessary to discuss these ideas from the very first day of school, perhaps in the form of a newsletter.
