Discuss at least three things you would want to make sure your students understand about being good digital citizens.
- Safety is critical. Students need to avoid giving out any personal information about themselves. They need to be wary of anyone or site asking for their personal information. Tell an adult.
- Etiquette is essential. Report any incidences of cyber-bullying. Do not go to unapproved sites, including email, while working on assignments in the classroom. Remember, every click is traceable!
- Verify your sources. Check multiple listings. Just because you found it on the internet doesn't make it true.
Instructionally? Is that a word? Anyway...BrainPOP is a great resource for teaching internet etiquette. There are a few engaging videos on the subject that my students would definitely take something from. I will definitely use them.
How would you "teach" the idea of digital citizenship to your students?
I like the idea of role play for this type of teaching. I remember how successful the anti-bullying role playing presentation at our school. The students totally got into it. I could present the students with situations and on-line scenarios for them to act out.
How do you plan to share the idea of digital citizenship with your parents?
This would be a campus-handled situation. I think the principals and counselors would be the appropriate presenters of this information to the parents. Many of the parents have children in other grade levels. As an art teacher, I need to make sure I follow the same practices as the school. We need to be consistent from classroom to classroom on our campus. This topic could be addressed on Open-House Night.
