Rules for good digital citizenship
1. Discuss at least three things you would want to make sure your students understand about being good digital citizens.
1. If you wouldn't want your mom to read it then don't send it to someone else. Everything electronic can be shared!
2. I think you need to balance this with the reason we want them to be on the Internet in the first place. Students need to be explicitly taught the "rules" that are appropriate.
3. I think in my classroom that I need to make it very clear cyber bullying will not be tolerated. Since there is an element of being concealed it is much easier for some kids to make remarks about others without thinking it is a big deal. It is a big deal!
I think students sometimes think they are protected by the very fact that they are at school but they need to know some of the dangerous of the Internet as well.
I like the brainpop on digital etiquette and the one of digital citizenship
Brain pop is excellent....there are also somme other sites that are great. I have a video that every parent should see...will make them think about at least talking with their children!
ReplyDeleteIf we start in Kinder...we'll have good grounding by the time they hit fifth grade!
