    "Digital citizenship isn't just about recognizing and dealing with online hazards. It's also about building safe spaces and communities. Digital citizenship is a comprehensive approach to the use of digital technologies. It helps not only students but all technology users understand how to manage personal information and be an internet savvy."

    "There are many ways that our kids can communicate now as the Internet continues to expand its collaborative/social applications. Many of us are encouraging the use of wikis, blogs, emails, discussion boards, and chats (text and video) for educational uses and are integrating them into our curriculum. But we know that the kids are also extensively using the Internet as a social meeting place. It's imperative that we are advocating acceptable manners for all communications. Commonly called "netiquette", there are a number of guidelines that we should be promoting in order to emphasize good online citizenship. "

  •  
    "This is a collection of resources that can be used by educators or students regarding the issue of digital citizenship. Note: the questions used here are targeted primarily at high school students, but many of these questions apply to anyone new to the topic. Definitions: "Digital citizenship isn't just about recognising and dealing with online hazards. It's about building safe spaces and communities, understanding how to manage personal information, and about being internet savvy - using your online presence to grow and shape your world in a safe, creative way, and inspiring others to do the same." (Digizen) "A fully literate citizen is at once critically self-reflexive and critically reflexive of his/her collective and position within it." (Spooner, 2007)"

Casey Heynes: how schoolyard bullying went viral | NetSafe Blog - 1 views

  •  
    "If you pay attention to the mainstream news media, you can't have failed to have seen several instances of school related bullying last week in both New Zealand and Australia. Whilst pupils in Auckland and Wanganui clashed and the fights were recorded on cellphones, it was the case of Casey Heynes that went truly global due to the visual power of the recording taken by a bystander and shared online. I won't repeat the details of the case - there are links to videos below that provide viewpoints from both Casey himself and the mother of the boy doing the bullying - I want to comment on the surprisingly swift nature of how details of the fight spread."

My Online Neighborhood - video and teaching ideas - 1 views

  •  
    "How to integrate My Online Neighborhood into the classroom: My Online Neighborhood is a nice entry point for teaching Internet safety. Use the video to spur classroom discussions about online safety. The video also makes a nice lead in to the Internet safety lessons from Common Sense Media on Digital Life (sending email, online communities, rings of responsibility), Privacy (follow the digital trail), Connected Culture (screen out the mean, show respect online, power of words, group think, writing good emails), and Respecting Creative Work (whose is it, anyway?). These units and lessons are detailed, fun, and get right to the heart of the matter of raising digitally responsible citizens. The lesson plans are leveled by grade and can be used for kindergarten through fifth grade."

Social Networking In Schools: Educators Debate The Merits Of Technology In Classrooms - 2 views

  • In lieu of the controversy, networks have stepped up their efforts to create safer online communities for students. Facebook, which currently has over 900 million users making it the largest social networking site, partnered with the National PTA "to promote responsible and safe Internet use to kids, parents and teachers."According to a report about the collaboration, "National PTA and Facebook will establish a comprehensive program that will provide information, support and news to encourage citizenship online, reduce cyberbullying and advance Internet safety and security." Facebook went on to create both safety and education tabs that provide information and resources for educators and concerned parents.Myspace also established a partnership with the Attorney General, created a safety task force, and released a list of strategies for online safety.
  • As the debate over the role technology and social networking play in the classroom continues, proponents on both sides are fighting to find a balance between the importance of innovation and the safety of students. Though there are risks associated with encouraging students to use social networking sites, proponents argue the potential for opportunity outweigh the costs. As solutions that satisfy both sides continue to develop, online education resources may pave the way for growth in America's schools.

    "In this digital world, opportunities for education are available like never before. Though teachers using online tools are empowering students take part in their education, they may also expose them to inappropriate material, sexual predators, and bullying and harassment by peers. Teachers who are not careful with their use of the sites can fall into inappropriate relationships with students or publicize photos and information they believed were kept private. For these reasons, critics are calling for regulation and for removing social networking from classrooms -- despite the positive affects they have on students and the essential tools they provide for education in today's digital climate. "

    Hence more reasons why teachers must be well read and prepared and willing to work with a team/committee to help solve the issues of safety, legality and ethical behaviours before working on their school DLE.

7 Habits of Digital Citizenship.pdf (application/pdf Object) - 1 views

  •  
    This is an interesting document designed by M. Schlemok, administrator of an elementary school in Alberta, that resembles Stephen Covey's best-known book, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. All digital citizens should familarize themselves with Covey's teachings, in particular, his series of habits. Covey advocates what he calls "The Character Ethic", that is aligning one's values with "universal and timeless principles". He see principles as "external natural laws" while "values are internal and subjective". He believes that values govern people's behaviour and principles ultimately determine the consequences.

The Innovative Educator: World's simplest online safety policy - 1 views

  •  
    "By blocking students from the digital world, the jobs of administrators and educators are made easier, but if people became teachers, education leaders or parents because it was easy, they've selected the wrong profession.While it is true that banninig is an easy way out, doing so is short sighted and not visionary. It does not approach the innovative status that we hear so much about. "

    "Imagine the look of horror on one New York school librarian's face when she returned to her middle school library to find a list of overdue books with the names of kids who had borrowed them plastered on her door. She immediately thought of all the students who'd taken out titles on sensitive topics, like puberty."

Digital: A Love Story - 1 views

  •  
    Described by Christine Love as "a spiritual sequel of sorts to Digital: A Love Story", Don't Take It Personally, Babe, It Just Ain't Your Story is a visual novel that puts a huge emphasis on the way technology has led us to talk to one another differently, while also tackling the usual issues that visual novels styled in this way delve into. You are a new literacy teacher at a high school who is plunged into the lives of your pupils - wherever you like it or not. The school sneakily keeps tabs on pupils by allowing teachers to see all the private messages sent via the local Facebook-style service. Hence, while the main story is playing out, messages will constantly ping in the corner of the screen, and you can keep track of everything going on between your students.
