Digital Citizenship Badge

NC State College of Education Digital Learning Competencies for candidate teachers are adapted from the NC Digital Learning Competencies for Classroom Teachers which were designed based on standards from ISTE, iNACOL and the NC Professional Teaching Standards.

Learning Goals and Aligned Assessments:

Candidate teacher provides evidence that they can act ethically and safely online through social media content and use of digital media. Candidate teacher plans to integrate ethical uses of online tools accessible by all students. Candidate teacher demonstrates that they:

Use social media responsibly, safely, and professionally : Common Sense Media Assessment, Professional Social Media for Educators & Students, Final Reflection
Use online media following intellectual property guidelines: Intellectual Property Guidelines, Final Reflection
Can encourage future students to communicate safely and professionally: Professional Social Media for Educators & Students, Final Reflection
Plan ways to connect students globally through digital tools: Global Awareness Exploration, Final Reflection

Resources:

Use these resources to learn about using digital tools ethically, responsibly and globally. These are available in the online content through Reporter (link below).

Procedures:

Teacher candidates will study digital citizenship and begin developing their own professional image online. They will review laws governing usage of images and copyright. Students will also make a plan of how they hope to integrate ethical uses of digital content in their own classrooms and pass a digital citizenship assessment.

Students will participate in an activity using technology tools to connect globally and will reflect on how equity issues connect to digital education.

Earning a Badge:

Enroll in the course in Reporter:

go.ncsu.edu/DigCitDLCReporter

Read content, watch videos, complete the activities in the online content and demonstrate your proficiency in being able to model digital citizenship and your plans to integrate digital citizenship into your future classroom.

Each assignment has an associated rubric and work will be assessed in a met/not met manner. Assignments are aligned standards in the learning goals segment above.

Next Steps:

When you have completed the activities in the online module, they will be evaluated for competency in areas of Digital Citizenship.
You will receive an email with your certificate of completion when you have demonstrated competency.
If a month passes after submission, you can revisit the online content through Reporter and see if there is rubric feedback. You must resubmit any assignment in which you earned a "Not Met" on the associated rubric.
Upon completing all four badges, you will receive an email with a micro-credential icon that can be embedded in professional portfolios. Share this site with employers to demonstrate what you have completed.

Rubric:

Students/candidate teachers will complete a series of activities to demonstrate knowledge of digital instruction. This rubric will be used to evaluate the work.

You will be evaluated on five products/activities in which you provide evidence:

Professional Social Media for Educators and Students
Intellectual Property Guidelines: Fair Use & Creative Commons
Digital Citizenship Assessment via Common Sense Media
Global Awareness Exploration and Final Reflection
Digital Equity Final Reflection

NOTE: If your university does not have a student information/tracking system to evaluate and distribute micro-credentials or digital badges, you can use online badging tools such as Bloomboard, Credly, or Badgelist.

If you cannot access the content in Reporter (the NC State University Registration Center for Non-Credit Activity) above but would like to see it, this is a Google Doc version similar to what we have included in our online course. The course in Reporter is housed in Moodle.
