Vote on Draft Digital Standards for Educators
Vote on Draft Digital Standards for Educators
Voting Round 1
Voting Round 1
We're at the next phase of the digital standards development project.
The different working groups developed draft standards between May - September 2023. Now we need to vote to adopt, edit / refine, or discard the draft digital standards that were developed for each group.
Please use the Google form on the right to vote for the draft digital standards for each group. Your feedback will be used to help us refine the standards and make this a truly co-creative process where everyone's voice can be included.

Preparing for Working Group 1
Preparing for Working Group 1
As you prepare for the Working Group Meeting 1, please look online for standards for your group around digital engagement, cyber safety and cyber wellness. We'll focus on these areas in Meeting 1.
Add your suggestions for Standards for Digital Citizenship in the appropriate column on the Padlet below.
Steps for Developing Standards
Steps for Developing Standards
When developing standards, use the digital capital framework to guide the development process. Examples are included below.
When developing standards, use the digital capital framework to guide the development process. Examples are included below.
Digital Agency
Digital Agency
Educators search for new tools or resources to enhance learning, asking or observing colleagues or students, reading related publications and following other educators or thought leaders.
Digital Competency
Digital Competency
Educators use data (quantitative and qualitative) to identify learners who need additional support services or those who need to be extended, or general areas that need to retaught using different strategies.
Digital Citizenship
Digital Citizenship
Educators create expectations for appropriate interaction among learners, including establishing netiquette requirements, modeling implementation, and enforcing the requirements.

Iterative Development of Standards
Iterative Development of Standards
Iteration 1) Initial Brainstorming at Roundtable 1
Iteration 1) Initial Brainstorming at Roundtable 1
During the roundtable, participants brainstormed some suggestions for possible standards for institutions. They initially used a Padlet as indicated.
On Day 2 they used sticky notes and a robot system which were captured on a GDoc shows their group discussions and suggestions that were developed on Day 2.
Iteration 1 Brainstorm
Iteration 1 Brainstorm
Participants wrote standards on sticky notes and added them to different posters:
Green: High Priority
Orange: Medium Priority
Red: Low Priority
This allowed them to discuss their priorities and potentially move their sticky notes around.
Analysed Standards from Iteration 1 Brainstorm
Analysed Standards from Iteration 1 Brainstorm
Dr Tarling analysed the standards developed from Iteration 1 Brainstorm. The sticky notes were digitized and analysed using the digital capital map. The results for each group were then collated and plotted on the radial chart to create the map of focus areas that the initial brainstorm sessions highlighted.
The Educators' group brainstorm indicated where they placed most of their focus: Educator's digital literacies and cyber safety. Individual digital agency and group agency in the form of collaboration with colleagues and working as part of PLCs was further identified.
The working group for educators can take this map and identify where gaps arose in their initial brainstorming sessions, and develop steps to specifically develop standards that address the entire map and not just key points.
Iteration 2) Refined Standards from Working Group Meeting 1
Iteration 2) Refined Standards from Working Group Meeting 1
After the first meeting, initial, broad standards were identified and expanded. During the meeting, additional points were added for discussion and included in a growing list which lead to the development of potential level descriptors for the different standards.
Iteration 3) Refined Standards from Working Group Meeting 2
Iteration 3) Refined Standards from Working Group Meeting 2
In the initial roundtable meeting, the suggestion was made that standards could be graded to provide some idea of progression to users. Descriptors were suggested and used to create a rubric for learners, educators and school leaders as seen on the growing spreadsheet. Each new round of meetings and analysis, adds to this spreadsheet.
TIP: Click on the tabs at the bottom of the sheet to see the standards for other groups.
