We've created the Digital ID wiki with a two-fold purpose: Provide students, teachers, and administrators with a toolkit of reliable information, resources, and guidelines to help all of us learn how to be upstanding Digital Citizens who maintain a healthy Digital Identity (ID) in the 21st Century. Build a collaborative platform for teachers and students the world over to contribute to our ever-growing curriculum collaborations and student-created content. Our goal is to help our students answer these three Essential Questions: What does it mean to be a (digital) citizen? What are my rights as a citizen? What are my responsibilities as a citizen? Students Objectives and Learning Outcomes: Stepping Up ~ Cyberbullying: By examining bullying within their own lives and across historical events and time periods, students will consider the importance of empathy as a 21st century skill, equally as important as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and skilled communication. Building Identities ~ Digital Footprint: By examining the importance of maintaining a positive digital identity, students will learn how to employ self-regulation to manage their own digital footprint. Respecting Boundaries ~ Intellectual Property: By employing critical thinking, students will learn the ethical use of intellectual property. Protecting Online Security and Privacy: By studying common threats to electronic security and equipment, students will learn to protect themselves and sensitive information."
