Digital Citizenship
As educators, jargon becomes a way of life. Our districts buy into the latest and greatest trends and we learn the lingo (sometimes begrudgingly). Digital citizenship is more than jargon and it isn't a trend - it is urgent and schools must rise to the occasion of teaching students what it means to be a connected, responsible citizen in the plugged-in world.
After researching the ideas covered by digital citizenship I realized that we do touch on many topics simply by using technology in our classrooms. However, there are many more subtleties to what it means to be a "good" digital citizen. Below is a magazine I've created to provide an overview for teachers and administrators. By embedding digital citizenship into what we already do, I truly believe our students will be able to Respect, Connect and Change the World.
