Teaching Students Good Digital Citizenship
Teachers have long understood the importance of instilling good citizenship in their students, focusing on social etiquette and how to treat their peers with respect in the course of their daily lives. Today, though, it’s just as important that students understand what kinds of behaviors are acceptable online. Instilling the principles of good digital citizenship can help students become smart, responsible, and respectful members of their online communities. What Is Digital Citizenship? We spend much of our lives today participating in virtual communities — like our social media networks, online forums, and even the comments sections of websites and blogs.

The study showed that while students absorb media constantly, they often lack the critical thinking skills needed to tell fake news from the real stuff.

Here’s a sampling from around the country:
Digital Citizenship and Social-Emotional Skills Are Inseparable
Every school has its own unique culture. It is made up of all the ways in which students relate to one another and their teachers. In today’s world, digital devices in particular (and technology in general) have a huge effect on these relationships. For better or worse, communication is different now, and it has the potential to make a big impact on your school’s culture. When I collaborate with schools, we often identify areas where a gap exists between what administrators, teachers, and parents believe students need to know, and what students actually know.

14 Digital Literacy Activities
Following a PD session I was involved with yesterday on creating Digital Literacies I have compiled 14 activities with both student and teacher guidance notes included focussing on four aspects of digital literacies. Still Images, Digital Sound, Moving Images and Digital Text. These activities are aimed at students from years 5 - 9 but you could easily adjust them to suit the needs of older and younger students. These activities can be set as either an independent task or as a whole class activity. Still Images
