Teaching students to manage their digital footprints begins with teachers managing their own first. Managing is branding, not hiding.Everything that we do online should represent us and what we stand for.
Thank you Ruth! This article is just about what I am trying to do with my students for years! This is very motivating! I found out last year that linking evaluating and citing sources is a good think to keep students focused: they search the author, publisher etc... and evaluate at the same time. You can read my blog post http://www.coetail.asia/amthinnes/ "changing the way we are teaching" (Sorry, the blog is difficult to read... getting better every week...) , for more info about it. The link I used so far is not bad from 9 grade, but too difficult for the younger children. If you have a better one, let me know!
Anyway, it is great to know that we are at the same page....
Cheers,
Anne-Marie
