Fostering Digital Citizenship « Technology and the Common Core I recently returned from the CAL-ED Annual Conference for Parents, Interpreters, Teachers and Administrators. I presented on Fostering Digital Citizenship. The goal of this workshop was to provide a basic understanding of Digital Citizenship as well as resources and ideas for application in the classroom (and at home). The second half of the workshop, participants walked through 6 stations focusing on Digital Citizenship topics including Digital Life 101 (9 Elements of Digital Citizenship), My Digital Footprint (online ethics), Do You Really Know Who You are Talking To?

Rather than a brief overview, holding the assumption that students generally apply character ethics online, which I now realize is not the case, I began by introducing the 9 Elements of Digital Citizenship.
