"I've been following the unfortunate story of Alexandra Wallace. If you haven't heard about it, here is a quick summary: Miss Wallace, a student at UCLA, posted a video rant on the internet complaining about Asian students talking on their cell phones in the library. In the video, Miss Wallace mocks the Asian students' speech and makes other racially insensitive remarks. The video went viral - people were outraged - Miss Wallace received all sorts of scorn in various forms from parody videos (the one below with over 3 million views) to death threats. She then apologized and withdrew from UCLA. In her apology, Miss Wallace said, "I could write apology letters all day and night, but I know they wouldn't erase the video from your memory, nor would they act to reverse my inappropriate action." She is correct, and that is precisely the lesson we should be reminding and reinforcing with our students - it is difficult, if not impossible , to take something back that you post on the internet."

"This collaborative mind map has been created by the staff at Pukekohe North school. The staff are starting to explore what digital citizenship might mean not only for the students; but for the staff, the institution of the school and the wider community. You can view the map here. "

" Students ARE being influenced by multiple channels of information every day, and as adults we need to both be aware of the content/messages in those channels and find opportunities to have conversations about them with young people... Particularly when the stakes are high. "

I came across this through a comment posting on another site. Catherine Cronin runs parent awareness workshops on interent safety and digital citizenship. This is page of links from her wiki. The rest of the site is worth exploring as well.

"The more our students are online, the more information they will encounter. It is important for them not only be able to access this information, but also to be the best digital citizens that they can be. Here are some ideas. I am sure there are lots and lots more."

"The St. Thomas Aquinas School digital pilot project has opened the door to allow students to use personal electronic devices throughout Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools." "Before we turn the switch to allow students to access the network with their devices, schools need to take that time to work with students on responsible digital citizenship," said Mason. Teachers, as well, could need more professional development to allow for incorporating the devices in the classroom."

Ideas, techniques and scope and sequence for teaching Digital Citizenship.

I just added Digital Technologies Hub as a separate topic but including it here as I think it fits too - similar descriptions https://www.digitaltechnologieshub.edu.au/teachers/australian-curriculum

A peer-led digital citizenship program with detailed lessons

Something else we need to consider when teaching digital citizenship.

With all lessons, but particularly citizenship, we must first help students regulate, be able to relate to them and then we can reason with them. (The three R's)
