Digital Citizenship Information

Digital Citizenship is the norms of appropriate, responsible use of technology. It's an idea where everyone who uses technology understands that with the use of a device, and technology, comes certain responsibilities along with the privileges. In this course, you will learn that the topic of digital citizenship is gaining momentum not only in the United States but around the world. Whether it is called digital citizenship, digital wellness or digital ethics the issues are the same; how should we act when we are online, and what should be taught to the next generation. Much of this course will apply to your student's online use. Because I have tried to include resources for all teachers, and all ages of their students, be aware that I would expect you to use only what is appropriate for your teaching situation. If you are a kindergarten teacher, I would expect that you would skip over the resources included for high schoolers, and likewise, high school teachers would skip over the elementary resources. I want this course to be a great resource to you in your current teaching situation, not a drudgery that takes a lot of time, and has no current application to your situation. To begin, please briefly introduce yourself in a paragraph or two, add a photo and email me the information. I will post the info on the introductions page.
