Digital Citizenship

Internet Safety and Digital Citizenship

How will you communicate your expectations to your students about technology use?

Some teachers create norms with their students. Here is an example of norms from another teacher:

Classroom & Technology Norms...

*STAY ON TASK!!!

*Take turns discussing content material and using technology accessories and tools. NEVER mishandle the technology tools!!!

*Listen carefully and occasionally use reflective listening to be sure you understand what your team member means.

Stay together until everyone is done.

*Do not use "put downs" or discouraging words.

*Disagree with ideas without using harsh words. Instead, use phrases like, "Could we look at it another way?", "I'm not sure I understand," and "I don't think that's right."

*Praise each other's ideas!

*STUDENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO ADHERE TO THESE NORMS WILL NOT BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE THE TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM!
