Teachers understand local and global societal issues and responsibilities in an evolving digital culture and exhibit legal and ethical behavior in their professional practices.
Educators will take on the role that encourages a positive, safe, and responsible digital learning environments for all learners. The use of digital citizenship curriculum that models and teaches students personal safety in the online world is to be utilized by all educators, no matter to content area of their classroom learning. Educators are to provide students with and model the use of various digital tools and resources that meet the students needs.
I felt that it was important to include a couple of different artifacts for this standard. It was important to me that I talked about the Digital Mine (artifact#1) for the students to see what areas of technology and apps they are using and the world can access. This is a great way to present responsibilities in the digital culture. This leads into the digital footprint presentation (artifact#2) for the students to connect the apps and items they use to how any one can find information about them on the web. This is a great way to model but also educate the students on the good and bad of technology. I also felt that the social media consent form (artifact#3) I created for twitter would be beneficial for the parents to connect with their student and take responsibility for their students’ learning and use of technology. The use of social media is huge for students, and the creation of a padlet (artifact#4) that models ways to use twitter in the classroom was something I also wanted to include. I felt that this interacted with this standard, as it promotes proper use of twitter and the background planning needed to introduce it to the students. In order to promote and model digital citizenship, one must first plan out how to do exactly that.
