This toolkit is the result of the collective efforts of the Global Citizenship Education Working Group (GCED-WG), a collegium of 90 organizations and experts co-convened by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the Center for Universal Education (CUE) at the Brookings Institution, and the United Nations Secretary General's Global Education First Initiative's Youth Advocacy Group (GEFI-YAG). To gather the measurement tools in this collection, the working group surveyed GCED programs and initiatives that target youth (ages 15-24). For the purposes of this project, GCED was defined as any educational effort that aims to provide the skills, knowledge, and experiences and to encourage the behaviors, attitudes, and values that allow young persons to be agents of long-term, positive changes in their own lives and in the lives of people in their immediate and larger communities (with the community including the environment).

Some good points made in this article.

An interesting article that splits digital citizenship into two (citizenship and rights), not sure it is necessary but may be helpful for some. Possibly good for focusing/separating policy development into more manageable parts. Unsure.

These are various concepts explained on Digital Citizenship

A very interesting read regarding the use and non-use of digital technology (specifically smart technology) in schools and the argument for embedded digital citizenship skills across the curriculum.

An excellent article, thanks Noni. It raises a number of valid points to consider.

"Edmodo provides consistency in teaching subjects from year to year. We don't have have books for my classes, so everything is teacher created or scavenged off the internet. As a result, things "disappear," including saved documents. The solution was to save and organize my documents are always in my Edmodo Library. I am finding that my classes are MUCH more consistent and I don't lose documents."

While 'the internet' and 'manners' don't tend to pop up in the same sentence very often (at least not in the positive sense), there are a number of ways that manners really do matter when you're interacting online.

Interesting infographic and information about the ISTE Digital Citizenship PLN.

Great resource to help explain the 'Areas of awareness' and 'Rays of understanding' in the Enlightened digital citizenship model created by Lindsay and Davis, in the book Flattening classrooms, engaging minds.

An interesting 'role play' putting teachers in the mode of solving a digital citizenship problem.

"Below you can find links to sites that address these topics of safety and copyright, that students, parents and educators can find useful:"

An elementary school in our district recently got 30 iPads and asked for some advice implementing them with students and teachers. In addition to suggesting some starter apps, I recommended that we have conversations with kids around the appropriate use of these devices. While almost every child has used an iPad, iPod Touch, or iPhone, the exciting learning opportunities these mobile, Internet-connected, media creation devices create also open the door to new challenges. Cyberbullying or inappropriate web publishing happens more through the camera than regular computer use does; the mobility of the device combined with the reality that multiple users are using the device with no personalized, password-protected, network-tracked accounts makes it more challenging to keep track of who is doing what with the device or that the device itself is safe.

In 2010 in NSW support materials for teaching Digital Citizenship and Digital Safety have been developed for years 7-10 as part of the Digital Education Revolution - NSW.

The myLGP website has been developed by NetSafe, in collaboration with New Zealand teachers, to support the Learn Guide Protect Framework. The site promotes a student-centred approach to teaching and learning about cybersafety and digital citizenship across the curriculum.
