Safety is super important for my students to understand that even though is an awesome incredible word of possibilities with no walls that opens with technology is also very crucial to be cautious. We will have the opportunity to share ideas and information with other classes in the District and hopefully with other classes in other cities. And this will be a wonderful opportunity to talk about internet security. I'm hoping that this coming year the parents will be as receptive as they have been in the past years and they come to library nights and would be able to use the computers and the internet.
I like this idea from the cool cal teacher blog:
Digital citizenship is more than literacy, it is living safely, civilly, and effectively in our increasingly digital world.
The focus here is that students are not where they need to be with the skills encompassed in digital citizenship. It is a process and cannot just be taught by one teacher one time and expect retention.
It must permeate all subjects in all grade levels just like reading, for increasingly it is reading
Good thoughts!!!
ReplyDeleteDid you get your certificate to work? If not-- don't worry, you will also get an SBISD certificate that will be used for credit. That will be posted on the wiki in the next week or two by Karen.
