Perceptive blog post by Australian educator Edna Sackson.

This concept paper explores citizenship in a digital age. The potential of Web 2.0 tools highlights the importance of educational institutions' consideration of the use of these tools in school settings to promote citizenship at a time when students are already exposed to powerful online communication platforms. First, a description of three Web 2.0 tools, blogs, wikis, and online social networks, is provided. This is followed by an exploration of digital citizenship. Then, several cases in recent history where Web 2.0 tools played an important part in promoting democracy and social justice are examined. Finally, using a lens of digital citizenship, several instructional suggestions are provided for educators to help students experience and understand multiple layers of citizenship in a 21st century technological landscape.

Computers...not much more than digital textbooks. Interesting research on how teachers and students are using technology with a comparison of stats from 2013 to 2018.

"We often hear complaints about what students say and do online, but we often neglect to look into educators helping them manage their online reputation. This infographic is geared toward adults, but it can serve as a great starting point for conversations and activities that educators can engage in with students to help them to establish an active digital footprint that represents who they want to be perceived as online."

"Imagine if someone was following your every move no matter where you went, or what you did. It would be pretty scary but if you think about it it's not so different to the world we live in. Whether it's the information we share on the internet or our day to day activities. We leave traces of ourselves everywhere. Matt explains."

"Just like the footprint you leave when you walk on the beach, your digital footprint is the trail you leave about yourself when you're on the net. Anything you do online, including any profiles you have created, the sites you've visited and the online conversations you've had, add to this trail - even if you think you've been doing things anonymously, or have hidden them (e.g. deleted them from your computer)! "

"How would you define your digital life? Are you out there, sharing everything with the world? Or do you set rules for yourself about the type of information you make public? How careful are you in choosing who you speak to online? Remembering these key tips will help you keep control online, both now and into the future."

"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."
