Google Classroom
(or Flipgrid or Nearpod or Seesaw)
"Through our own classroom online communities (such as Google Classroom or Flipgrid), we have a perfect opportunity to embed digital citizenship learning. The best example I have used myself is through short answer questions and the discussion (online) that follows."
Students need exposure and experience interacting in an online space
E.g.
Pros and cons of an issue
Justifying opinions
Sharing ideas
Brainstorming
Discussing characters in a book
Teaching and scaffolding will be required (kids won't be magically capable of high quality online discussion) :
E.g.
How to disagree with someone respectfully
How to build on an idea (“piggybacking”) with your own idea
How to ask a follow up question to clarify
How to give a compliment

It was super to come across another educator who embraces the use of digital spaces to grow and foster digital citizenship skills and behaviours! Check out Katelyn's work below:
