Description
Main Objectives
During the next two years we will be covering the topic of Digital Citizenship, this is, what is necessary for a person to know and dominate in order to be a good citizen in the current world, in which technologies are an essential part of our lives. Our main objectives are the following ones:
- Develop digital competences both in teachers and students to help them adapt to the current society.
- Improve in teachers and students their internet literacy skills, including topics such as security, copyright, netiquette, etc.
- Reduce the generational digital gap (digital divide) between teachers and students in our schools.
- Encourage students to develop critical thinking
- Provide an exchange of good practices concerning ICT implementation in education.
- Develop communicative skills in English, being English the language of work.
- Modernise and Internationalise our schools by participating in European programmes.
- Develop the sense of belonging to an United Europe (European citizenship)
In each term we will create and test the lessons plans of our “Citizen 3.0 Digital Citizenship Curriculum for Secondary Education”, which consists of a compilation of lessons plans which cover the topics of the project and serve as a framework for the activities. These lesson plans will be implemented in all the participant students groups. Also, the students’ newsletter, the teacher’s handouts, the posters/infographics, etc. are aligned to the topic under study each term. (see all activities)
Six elements to develop
Our project is divided into six different parts, each one corresponding to a different “element” (using the metalanguage of digital skills). Each part is aligned with a different school term, therefore there are three terms per school year, i.e six terms for the two years of the project. These parts are:
TERM 1.- (THINK) What is Digital Literacy? Why is it needed? Pros and Cons of the Internet
TERM 2.- (FIND) Content Literacy
TERM 3.- (CREATE) Creativity, Property and Copyright.
TERM 4.- (SHARE) Social networks. Relationships & Communication
TERM 5.- (BE AWARE) Identity and Digital Footprint
TERM 6.- (WATCH OUT) Internet risks
