  4. Digital citizenship is defined as the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use.

  5. What is Digital Citizenship? Digital Citizenship is more than just a teaching tool; it is a way to prepare students/technology users for a society full of technology. Too often we are seeing students as well as adults misusing and abusing technology (sometimes unknowingly). Teaching Digital Citizenship starts at an early age and needs continual reinforcement.

  7. Today’s Digital World Today’s digital world is considerably different than the world we grew up in and went to school in While our students are tech savy and tech literate…they are still young and lack an adult perspective on safety, responsibility and general citizenship But make no mistake – This generation is highly connected to the digital world

  8. Our Students Are Digital Natives Our students are learning to • Communicate • Construct • Create • Collaborate …using online digital technologies …even without our help Social Media Blogs Wikis Social Networking

  9. Canadians Lead ? When it comes to watching online video, as with hockey, Canada is a world leader. Seventy-one per cent of Canadian Internet users, or 17.6 million people, visit YouTube every month, according comScore, a company that specializes in measuring digital activity. Source: Rebecca Lindell, Postmedia News December 29, 2010 http://www.canada.com/technology/Canadians+lead+world+YouTube+viewing/4037937/story.html#ixzz19pqHu3oE

  10. Canadians Lead ? And the growth isn't limited to YouTube, he said. Canadian broadcasters, such as CBC, CTV and Global have seen steady growth in the number of people watching their content online, according to comScore's analysis. Canada has also long been known as the world's top Facebook nation with 83.1 per cent of the online population on the popular social-networking site. More Canadians have also mastered the 140-character tweet than Americans, with 13.7 per cent on Twitter monthly compared to 11.3 per cent in the U.S.

  11. Canadians Lead ? Canadians between the ages of 25 and 34 watch 338 minutes a month, those aged 35 to 54 watch 297 minutesand people over 55 spend 155 minutes passing time on YouTube. As for our national obsession with hockey, online video is feeding it. NHL.com is one of the most visited websites in Canada

  12. While students and teachers alike are anxious to integrate new learning tools into the classroom, we must err on the side of caution. It is our responsibility to empower our students by giving them the fundamental lessons in digital citizenship.

  13. We don’t have to teach our students to be 21st Century Learners…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHSehFV98TY&NR=1 ….they already ARE 21st Century Learners living in a 21st Century World

  14. Technology Engages Students • We want our students to see these as digital tools that will help them: • collaborate more…. • tools that will help them create new knowledge….. • tools that will help them with inquiry based learning…. • tools that will help them create questions • We want our students to learn how to use these new media tools, rather than these tools using them

  15. As Educators We Need To: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tahTKdEUAPk • demonstrate and discuss ways to be safe online • become FACILITATORS of learning • let our students teach US how to use these tools • shift the control of the learning environment

  16. Our World Today We have young minds operating in a highly connected world, yet they do not have a high developed sense of risk and responsibility Our students need to understand that online choices have offline consequences To help guide them as adults, we need to develop a deeper understanding of the digitally connected world and what it means to be good digital citizens The new Internet is referred to as Web 2.0 – the interactive web

  17. Online Actions Have Offline Consequences

  18. What We Do Know! The Internet is not another world – it’s just another space where kids live their daily lives. For students, technology is not special … …it just is. Kids are social by nature and today’s kid’s have multiple options to connect with their peers and others. Friends are always accessible through e-mail, instant messaging, blogs, multiplayer games and cell phones

  20. What We Do Know! Digital Citizenship will be constantly changing with the times as new tools are developed and used. As within any society, we need a structure which people need to honor so that we are respectful to each other.

  21. When contemplating how the world has changed, Technology is often cited as the reason why things have changed Changes “In reality technology alone cannot create change. Change is created by people who understand that technology is a tool to further their own personal or organizational advantage.” – EveretteSurgenor, 1992 • But for 21st Century Kids, technology is more than a tool….it is an essential component of everyday life that frames their social world view. For them, being digitally connected is as natural as speaking is to us.

  22. The Changing Role of Teachers • Look for ways to connect students to global citizenship • Allow students to teach the teacher - empowering our students • As teachers, we don’t need to know all the skills first • Teaching our students HOW to learn • Teaching our students to be CRITICAL THINKERS Edutopia – YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT78kBx6mFw&p=64580A98F0BC9107&index=11

Digital EtiquetteDefinition: The standard of conduct expected by other digital technology users. • We need to partner with parents to teach responsible online behaviour. • Think about your online image for example. • Who will see it? • What should never be posted online? • After it is posted online, it is virtually impossible to remove. • The more information you share about yourself, the more that is available. • Have you ever “googled” yourself? • There are emerging online programs that allow you to reduce your online presence (Cyber-Suicide) and have others check your online presence (ie. Credit Check)
