      This is a message that adults often forget. It's not surprising we must remind students frequently of this and the fact that once you put something out there, you cannot control what happens to it from there.
  • I believe students need to know that they are not alone when they post something online into a chatroom or onto a forum, even when it’s done in the privacy of their own home, it is visible to others. They need to know that a friend online, isn’t necessarily a friend to be trusted. Students also need to know that personal information can become public information extremely fast.
  • Digital Citizenship not only teaches students the etiquette involved in being a smart and effective participant in a digital world, but it empowers and equips students with essential life tools to help them navigate challenging digital based situations.

  • As transformative a force as technology can be, I agree that fixating on danger isn’t the way forward, but we must take measures and owe it to ourselves to better prepare students to greet the many positives and challenges the connected life brings, by preparing Digital Citizens.

      It is important that students develop the skills but also make a connection of when, why or how they can use the technology.

      I think this is so important! So many people think and online course is "easy" and what they don't realize is that sometimes the techy part of it what can trip them up. They have to think in new ways when taking an online course!

      I think it is most important for teachers to spend time planning and designing their instruction. It's key for learning for all. If teachers are not competent in planning, the student will see right through it.
  • Engages in professional growth (ITS 7) • Has experienced online learning from the perspective of a student (SREB F.1, Varvel II.E) • Networks with others involved in online education for the purpose of professional growth (SREB L.1, ITS 7.b) • Applies research, knowledge, and skills from professional growth to improve practice (SREB C.8, ITS 7.c) • Demonstrates growth in technology knowledge and skills in order to stay current with emerging technologies (SREB B.5)

      Out of curioustiy, will these proposed standards change in the coming years with Iowa Core?
  • The course content and activities are of sufficient rigor, depth, and breadth to teach the standards being addressed (iN 1.3, QM 5.1, ROI 3.c)
    • patesl
      patesl on 16 May 14
       
      I'm feeling that this class is very rigorous, tons of digging to do to learn the content. However, that opinion may be based on the fact I'm learning the vocabulary needed to comprehend assignments, etc. I'm relating to our ESL students, they face my frustration all the time when trying to interact with academic content without the understanding of vocabulary needed to fully learn the content.
  • (CP) • Course provider uses multiple ways of assessing course effectiveness.
    • patesl
      patesl on 16 May 14
       
      I'm glad to see that multiple assessments are used. If too much is placed on one major assessment there are bound to be those who can not show what they really know.

  • (K-12) • 21st century skills, including information literacy and communication skills, are incorporated and taught as an integral part of the curriculum. (iN 1.4)

      I talk about 21st century skills and information literacy with public librarians a lot, and try to emphasize how important they are to education and that libraries should play more of a role supporting them. Now I have a specific standard to refer to. It's always nice to have something official to refer to.
  • • The course provides opportunities for appropriate student interaction with the content to foster mastery and application of the material. (ROI 3.a)
    • apeich
      apeich on 19 May 14
       
      This is where I struggle with designing online learning. I don't know enough about tools to create good interaction between the students and content. An additional hurdle for me is that I'm working with adult learners, many of whom are not comfortable with technology. So in addition to providing as much interactivity as possible, I need tools that are relatively easy to understand and use.

  • Another distinction between the two types of writing is that while traditional writing formats, such as journaling, are frequently used for private reflection, digital writing is almost always meant for an audience.
    • Ginny Kraus

      I agree that personal writings are more often found in journaling and by hand while digital writing (wikis, blogs, communications) is for an audience - to be published for others to see.

      I like the terminology, digital writing, technology based visual aid.  Wordle or Tagxedo would be good to include in Moodle.
  • Tech-savvy teachers tend to agree that digital writing differs from conventional composition in ways that can spur student engagement and creativity.

  • By design, pen-and-paper composition is a one-person undertaking. But digital writing is often collaborative.
  • they can create a text jointly, through shared documents or wikis, or they can take turns posting on a collective blog.
  • Of the many digital tools Malley uses, Google Docs has been one of the most transformational, he says. Google Docs stores documents on the Web, so they are accessible from anywhere, and allows users to share their work with others—making it easy to edit or co-author a piece.
  • Although digital and traditional writing diverge in some ways, their roots are very much alike.
  • Solid conventional writing skills are the basis for making short films as well,
  • The caveat to using digital tools, many tech-savvy educators note, is to keep focused on instructional goals, and not use technology simply for technology’s sake.

      Identify which objectives or Common Core Standards you are meeting. If you can't, then you need to rethink the use of this tool.
  • Outside of their classes, students most often encounter digital writing—that is, writing created or read on a computer or other Internet-connected device, as defined in Because Digital Writing Matters, the book Eidman-Aadahl co-authored. While digital writing melds visual, audio, and text, “so much of school writing is consciously in the other direction,” says Eidman-Aadahl.
  • digital writing skills are critical to “college and career readiness.” Digital writing assignments “match the real world” and give students experience composing “in a form people will actually read,” she says.
  • as part of their oral presentations, students were required to include a technology-based visual aid, such as an interactive poster made through Glogster or a word cloud created with Wordle.
