Digital Citizenship: You Can't Go Home Again | SpringerLink - 1 views

  •  
    Abstract: In the July/August 2011 edition of TechTrends, a group of AECT members and academic professionals explored the state of digital citizenship for students in K-12 through an article entitled: Digital Citizenship in K-12: It Takes a Village. Identified was a significant need for digital citizenship awareness by parents, educators, and students through a series of interviews, exploration of resources, reports, and surveys. In this current article, the purpose is to provide an updated perspective of the state of digital citizenship in the K-12 academic and professional environments as gathered from re-administering the 2010 survey and interviewing experts quoted in the 2010 article. Results showed the need for teaching digital citizenship at an earlier age, improved digital citizenship awareness by both educators and administrators, and a continued focus on the misuse and abuse of technology.

    James, C., Weinstein, E., & Mendoza, K. (2019). This report points to a collection of core insights about young people and digital life from the emerging EDD research and also includes insights from academic research on media and children,focusing particularly on challenges that U.S. tweens and teens face in their digital lives. This research lays the foundation for Common Sense Education's updated Digital Citizenship Curriculum. We describe the curriculum's unique approach, grounded in Project Zero's research,which focuses on pedagogical strategies that support both student skills and dispositions. The following sections outline the six key topics covered in the curriculum and address the importance of a whole-community approach among educators, students, and parents in creating a thriving culture of digital citizenship.

Cyberbullying Prevention Lagging in K-12 « Literacy 2.0 - 0 views

  •  
    "It's a problem and the schools are ready to address it, yet they aren't doing so in a robust way. Why? Maybe because, and this is just conjecture, at some level the schools and teachers understand that cyberbullying does not belong in the classroom. That is, it is not solely the schools' problem. Maybe schools and teachers are hesitant to take on cyberbullying full force because they don't like the idea of pigeonholing it as an educational system problem. Maybe they recognize it as a social system problem. Maybe they understand that cyberbullying prevention and response belong in the culture-the student culture, the family culture and the social culture-not just the classroom. "

Digital Learning: What to Know in 2020 | Schoology - 5 views

  • Digital learning is meant to enhance learning, not simply continue it via a digital means.
  • The reason being the LMS is not just another tool; it often represents a cultural shift
  • 97% of which were from the United States
  • ...30 more annotations...
  • The data clearly reveals that our respondents overwhelmingly agree that digital learning positively impacts students and teachers.
  • In short, digital learning can enhance learning experiences, save teachers time, enable teachers to better tailor learning to student needs, aid in tracking student progress, provide transparency into the learning process for all stakeholders, and much more.
  • we’ve identified 10 key insights from our survey that provide some clarity into the current state of digital learning.
  • professional development.
  • digital citizenship programs
  • helping to address internet safety issues—teacher’s #1 digital citizenship concern.
  • Twitter
  • professionally
  • earning management system (LMS)
  • Both personalized and individualized learning are considered to be the most effective types of differentiated learning.
  • Social Media
  • debate about the role of mobile devices in the classroom rages
  • winner
  • emerging
  • mobile devices are being incorporated into digital learning more frequently than ever
  • Obstacles
  • lack of a digitized curriculum,
  • ineffective professional development and a lack of parent involvement
  • lack of parental involvement or understanding as a challenge has jumped from the #7 challenge all the way to #3
  • Digital learning takes many forms—from barely blended learning to gamified, mastery learning
  • Schoology conducted a landmark K-12 study called The State of Digital Learning.
  • As you can see, their #1 challenge is providing relevant and effective PD.
  • Many education professionals agree that ongoing instructional coaching is one of the most effective forms of professional development.
  • This year, we’re excited that nearly 70% of respondents now use the same LMS for professional development as in the classroom
  • I
  • nterestingly, schools and districts in which LMS usage is mandated are the most effective at enabling collaboration.
  • The data that comes to mind is the fact the majority of PD isn't modeling instructional best practices and that has to change.
  • From personalized learning to social media and coding in the classroom, the education landscape is being fertilized by technology and will continue to grow.
  • In fact, the data suggests that merely providing students with access to devices doesn't necessarily lead to better outcomes. But the thoughtful integration of technology to enable students to actively engage with ideas and their peers does enhance the learning experience. It's a nuanced and strategic challenge that grapples with countless tangible and abstract variables—devices, software, classroom practices, professional development, and collaboration among the many stakeholders just to name a few.

    A recent article by Lauren Davis in the Schoology (LMS) website that unpacks a survey of 16000+, mostly USA teachers, about the impact of digital learning. It includes some interesting insights into enablers and barriers for DLE. A good starting point for the 523 Assessment 3 environmental scan.

Nine Elements - 5 views

  • Learners must be taught how to learn in a digital society. In other words, learners must be taught to learn anything, anytime, anywhere. 
  • Often rules and regulations are created or the technology is simply banned to stop inappropriate use. It is not enough to create rules and policy, we must teach everyone to become responsible digital citizens in this new society.
  • Ethical use manifests itself in the form of abiding by the laws of society. Users need to understand that stealing or causing damage to other people’s work, identity, or property online is a crime.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Digital citizens have the right to privacy, free speech, etc. Basic digital rights must be addressed, discussed, and understood in the digital world.  With these rights also come responsibilities as well.  Users must help define how the technology is to be used in an appropriate manner. 
  • psychological issues that are becoming more prevalent such as Internet addiction.  Users need to be taught that there are inherent dangers of technology. Digital Citizenship includes a culture where technology users are taught how to protect themselves through education and training.
  • In our own homes, we put locks on our doors and fire alarms in our houses to provide some level of protection. The same must be true for the digital security. We need to have virus protection, backups of data, and surge control of our equipment. As responsible citizens, we must protect our information from outside forces that might cause disruption or harm.
  • all students will have covered the topics and everyone would understand the basic ideas of digital citizenship.
  • The expanding digital communication options have changed everything because people are able to keep in constant communication with anyone else.
  • Users need to learn about how to be effective consumers in a new digital economy. 
  • Working toward equal digital rights and supporting electronic access is the starting point of Digital Citizenship. Digital exclusion makes it difficult to grow as a society increasingly using these tools. Helping to provide and expand access to technology should be goal of all digital citizens.
