Digital Citizenship and Social and Emotional Learning for K-12 students

Technology Solutions That Drive Education

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Though not tested on Common Core or other statewide tests, social and emotional skills are an important part of the development of today's students.

Many of the social interactions K-12 students will have in their lives will occur online, so it is fitting that technology can be used a means to teach students important social and emotional skills.

A report released last year from the World Economic Forum indicated that educational technology could assist with teaching social skills such as collaboration and communication, THE Journal reports.

In its examination of the research, Education Week found that there was not enough ed tech that supported teaching social and emotional skills on the market, and there was big potential for growth in the years to come.

While specific technology for social and emotional growth isn't big just yet, there are a few ways that schools are using current technologies to teach these skills.

Skype Teaches Empathy for Other Cultures

As an education tool, Skype and other videoconferencing platforms can help extend the classroom to faraway places. But, using Skype in a K-12 setting can have an unexpected benefit: it fosters compassion for people from other countries.

For Manteca (Calif.) Unified School District fifth-grade teacher Tammy Dunbar and Concord Road Elementary (N.Y.) third-grade teacher Amy Rosenstein, Skype in the Classroom has let their students interact with peers from around the world.

Dunbar said it made her students realize that there were students just like them all over the world.

"Empathy and kindness come naturally with meeting people in different places," says Rosenstein in the EdTech article. "Even something as simple as saying 'Hi' or singing a song with kids from another country or sharing artwork, it just makes people real."

Digital Citizenship Lessons Foster Compassion

Showing that there is a real person on the other end of the computer is a component of teaching young people digital citizenship.

Through a partnership with the University of Michigan, students at Scarlett Middle School in Ann Arbor are learning the tenets of digital civility and etiquette. Student teachers from the university discuss everything from privacy and security to cyberbullying with the middle school students.

The student teachers aim to educate the middle schoolers on how they should treat each other online before the students begin regularly using classroom technology. Thanks to the lessons, the middle schoolers have developed compassion for other digital users.

"Probably the biggest lesson I've learned is to think about how other people feel before I say or post something," says student Anthony Stewart in a U of M video.

Cyberbullying is a huge social and emotional issue for today's students. The latest data from The Cyberbullying Research Center shows that about one in every four teens has experienced bullying while online. For educators, there is a responsibility to teach students how to recognize this kind of behavior, as well as why not to engage in it. Thankfully, technology can help.

ReThink, a free context filtering software, was designed by a 13-year-old who wanted to face cyberbullies head-on. Using its filtering algorithm, ReThink can detect if a student is about to post something offensive and then present a dialogue box asking the student if they are sure they want to post it.

"Research shows that when adolescents are alerted to rethink their decisions, they change their minds 93 percent of the time," ReThink's website states.

Digital citizenship is the new citizenship article by ISTE

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When I was in high school, a friend passed out flyers in the hallway asking for help with his Eagle Scout service project. On a crisp Saturday morning, a group of us gathered in a local pioneer cemetery and spent the day pulling weeds, clearing ivy and scrubbing moss off gravestones.

It was fun working together side by side to make a small yet tangible change within our immediate community. Still, I can't help but wonder what the project would have looked like if he'd had access to all of the digital tools available to students today. What might he have achieved?

Numerous researchers have become fascinated by the ways digital media are changing how young people engage in civic issues - and policymakers are taking notice. The Obama Foundation recently issued a call to re-examine the concept of digital citizenship. The announcement came on the heels of Washington state's new law requiring a statewide study of how schools are integrating digital citizenship education in their curriculum. It's among the first of its kind in the country, and many other states are now considering similar legislation.

The heightened awareness is reshaping our concept of digital citizenship. Rather than just warning young people about online risks or trying to curtail their activities, leaders are realizing the importance of helping students leverage the power of digital media to work toward social justice and equity.

During a recent refresh of the ISTE Standards for Students, a new definition of digital citizenship emerged. Feedback from educators revealed a shift in perspective that "spoke to students' use of technology to make the world a better place," says Carolyn Sykora, senior director of the ISTE Standards department.

"Participants recognized students were doing many good deeds using digital tools like crowdfunding to raise money or using social media to mobilize action for causes they cared about."

This is what civic engagement looks like in the digital age.

Breaking down barriers to social action

For today's students, the internet removes many of the barriers that have contributed to a decades-long decline in civic engagement. Traditional modes of social action, such as joining community groups or volunteering, can seem time-consuming and burdensome to students who are already overwhelmed by their busy lives. Many lack the motivation to put in the effort required.

Digital media, on the other hand, can offer a "path of least resistance" for young people, says Harvard researcher Lindsay Pettingill.

"While online, young people can come and go from sites as they please, and they can make the best use of their time by multitasking - talking to friends, writing emails and checking the sports scores - all while a video they are contributing to or a local news site or YouTube is uploading," she says. "They don't have to leave the house, and they don't have to put down the things they are tethered to. Rather than see these 'social facts' as debilitating to democracy, they should be leveraged to get the most out of young people's desire to be active and feel a part of something beyond themselves."

For students who have grown up holding the digital world in the palm of their hands, the internet is the most natural place to take action. It's where they already are, socializing with their peers and exploring their identities.

For many, working toward social equality and change is simply an organic extension of their online behavior. Rather than taking place in a silo disconnected from students' regular activities, civic participation can now become interwoven into the fabric of their digital lives.

"The internet offers a new model of civic participation, one measured by one's level of engagement as opposed to one's time commitment," says researcher Margaret Weigel. "One can sign online petitions, vote in online elections and contribute $5 to a cause of choice, all from a computer screen."

Students today are empowered with a whole new box of tools with which to act. Online spaces can amplify students' voices while breaking down barriers to civic participation. Social media serves as a potent means for coordinating and mobilizing people who are geographically dispersed. But will students capitalize on these opportunities?

That, Weigel says, remains to be seen.

Putting digital citizenship into action

Studies suggest young people are awakening to their digital power.

Nearly 60 percent of teens create digital content, and one in three share their creations online. And in a nationwide survey, more than 40 percent of young people reported engaging in at least one online act of participatory politics, defined as "interactive, peer-based acts through which individuals and groups seek to exert both voice and influence on issues of public concern."

When asked to create a plan to mobilize the public around environmental issues, one high school student offered the following plan:

"OK, so first there would be like a story or something that I'd hear on the news. Then I would, for example, post that on Facebook. I'd be, like, 'Look at this, people. Do you see this? Do you think this is right? Do you think you, your family and the people in the city is benefiting from this? I don't think so. So, we need to stop this.' And I'd have something like, you know, 'Who's with me?' And then we go from there.

"There's always a group that can be organized out of anything," he added.

But there's a big difference between posting something on Facebook and following a project through to its end. When posts go viral, events can quickly spiral out of control, leaving young instigators reeling from the impact of their digital participation - even when the outcome is overwhelmingly positive. Today's digital citizens need to be prepared for the possibility of massive success.

That's where we come in. It's up to parents, educators and leaders to support students in putting digital citizenship into action while also helping them understand:

The scale and scope of online action

In one study, nearly half of the students surveyed failed to include social media as part of a strategy to effect change. Why? Possibly because they still haven't grasped how digital tools can expand the scale and scope of their actions, says researcher Amelia Peterson. Students need to consider scale when engaging online, asking questions such as, "How big could I go? How big do I want to go?"

The efficacy of digital participation

Online modes of civic engagement - such as investigating issues, creating and circulating content, and engaging in dialogue about civic matters - are often dismissed as unimportant or disconnected from "real" social action, says researcher Margaret Rundle. Reinforcing the significance and efficacy of these actions can help encourage students to take advantage of the tools at their disposal.

The implications of success

The odds of a social media post going viral are low, but it's always a possibility. Students can prepare for this contingency by thinking beyond a project's immediate goal and considering the what ifs. For example, "Who can I turn to for help if this gets bigger than I expected?"

The nature of civic engagement is changing, says researcher Amelia Johns. Today's students are "the standard bearers of what the digital world is going to look like in the future, and, therefore, the shapers of what citizenship online will entail."

Digital Citizenship in the classroom

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
My students often travel with me when I lead professional development at conferences. A few weeks ago, eight-year-old Carson Griffin (pictured here to the right) was helping me lead a session for teachers on "iPads for Elementary Learners," and we were talking about our classroom Twitter account as it applies to digital citizenship. I called Carson to the front of the room to share his thoughts on Digital Citizenship, and his response gave me goosebumps.

"You should never post anything negative about a teacher, coach, or others on social media because they could find it and you will feel foolish," he said. "If my coach doesn't play me in soccer, I should not post bad stuff about them. I could be kicked off the team."

But he didn't stop there. "Even if you think it is deleted, it can always be found... Ask yourself: is it true, helpful, inspiring, necessary, and kind? If it's not, you shouldn't be posting it online. When you grow up, you use technology and your digital footprint to get you into jobs."

I'm not sure if it was the teachers' reactions, the fact that he so beautifully recited this during the summer, or that I know I helped him secure his future in second grade that made this such a powerful moment for everyone in the room. I teared up on the spot.

Our students are constantly connected with each other and the world through their devices. In fact, the students in my second grade classroom have never lived without WiFi or mobile devices. They have never felt the pain of dial-up internet or T9 texting. But... how can we ensure that what our students are doing on these devices is appropriate and meaningful?

Why Digital Citizenship is No Longer Just an "Elective"

As teachers, it is now part of our responsibility to lead by example when it comes to sound digital citizenship practices. As soon as children have devices in their hands, they should be educated about digital citizenship and their digital footprint. Think about this: even before babies are born, they have a digital shadow, because pictures and other media are shared about them via various social media outlets.

There is a startling statistic that 93 percent of employers now use social media in some way to either recruit or hire employees. That means that if I don't educate students about digital citizenship, they may end up having a poor or neutral digital footprint--which means they have a 7 percent chance of getting hired. While media specialists teach these skills, it is essential that classroom teachers are embedding it into their classroom curriculums as well as soon as students are online. We also can't assume that families are educating students about their digital footprint. In fact, this year, a mother told me that her son was teaching her about what was appropriate to post online--and she thanked me at our parent teacher conferences!

George Couros challenges teachers to make sure all students are well "Googleable" when they graduate, and I think this is a vital concept to embrace and take on. My students call me a "Digital Role Model," and I have to admit I like that title. They enjoy Googling me to check on my digital footprint, and see all of the places I've traveled to for conferences, or golf meets I competed in during college. They have full access to view my Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and blog. Knowing this reinforces my belief that I need to be a strong digital role model for them and lead by example. If I'm going to talk the talk, I better walk the walk.

Here's how you and your students can walk the walk in your own classroom, too. Let's start with resources.

Resource Roundup

When it comes to resources to support teaching Digital Citizenship, there are several out there. A few favorites I use throughout the year include:

Planet Nutshell Videos: These are short videos that cover a variety of topics from cyberbullying to protecting personal information.

Common Sense Media: This amazing site has tons of FREE materials that are designed to empower students to think critically, behave safely, and participate responsibly in our digital world.

PBS Kids Webonauts Academy: The Webonauts Internet Academy empowers kids to make responsible and respectful decisions in their online interactions.Taking on the role of a Webonaut, kids explore a series of missions that teach key issues of web safety and digital citizenship.

But, keep in mind--I'm a huge fan of DIY when it comes to Digital Citizenship resources.

I created the main resource collection I use in my classroom to introduce Digital Citizenship and to fill the needs of my students. ( You can buy it here!) Some of the topics included in my resource center around keeping private information private, making safe and appropriate choices online, being respectful of others, reporting bullying, and citing sources.

Looking to make your own collection? Here's what I include:

Seven posters for classrooms with scripted mini-lessons and turn-and-talk discussion suggestions

A letter for parents (because the parent education piece is essential)

Student response readers

Differentiation options for intermediate learners

A "certificate of completion" for the students

After working through my resource, the work really begins. Students need to be given real world opportunities to begin building their digital footprint. My resource simply helps stir up the discussion and lay the foundation with your students.

Give Students Access--and Start Small

I'm a believer in guiding students through real world, authentic situations to teach them digital citizenship skills. If schools block students from everything, they may be "protecting" them temporarily during the school day. However, when schools teach students about their digital footprint and give them tools to use in real life situations, they protect students for a lifetime. So, for starters, allow students access to YouTube, search engines, and Twitter at school. Prepare them beforehand with extensive discussion and tools, and set them up for success.

One of my favorite ways I teach and instill Digital Citizenship in my classroom is through "Tweeter of the Day." I think it is vital to provide students with an authentic platform to show what they know and put their digital citizenship skills to the test. While having students update "tweets" on sentence strips on a bulletin board might have a purpose, it's not the same as providing them with the real thing.

Each day, a different Tweeter is assigned, and this role includes live tweeting our learning throughout the day, where the student starts with an introduction, and often will tweet learning, pictures, and sometimes videos. The Tweeter is also responsible for responding to tweets our account receives throughout the day, such as those that we received from global connections like Brad Waid and Jen Jones. All tweets are monitored by me as a teacher, but I am more of a facilitator and the account truly belongs to the students.

My challenge to teachers is always, "If it's right for kids, it's right." While jumping into technology or social media can be scary at first, the benefits of putting kids in authentic environments to hone their digital citizenship skills far outweigh those fears. Sometimes, the comfort level of teachers is less important than doing what's right for students as we prepare them for the future that waits for them when they leave school. We as teachers cannot play into those fears, or be the four walls that hold our students back.

This work is my column that was originally posted on Edsurge.com.

It is quickly becoming a non-negotiable for all classrooms to leverage social media in order to communicate with families and other classrooms-thus engaging others in the daily lives of students. While simply posting "fun" photos is a start, this novelty wears off quickly, and as a result, we must think more critically about how we communicate via social media.

We must think more critically about how we communicate via social media.

As a second grade teacher who facilitates a student-centered classroom, I now believe our use of social media is an opportunity for students to partake in the type of learning in which they can thrive and shout their story to the world.

1. Genuine Digital Citizenship Opportunities

In fall 2012, I liked the idea of Twitter, but the thought of social media infiltrating my classroom was still a bit scary. So I developed an analog Twitter bulletin board and had each student write out their tweets on sentence strips daily.

Check out Kayla Delzer's student-controlled social media channels:

At first, while this whole process was uncomfortable for me (to say the least), I understood I was doing my students a disservice by not actually helping them to develop their digital footprints in a genuine environment. In the end, my comfort level was less important than their experiences on social media.

What we do in my classroom: This fall, students in our classroom completed digital citizenship bootcamp. My students had to pass seven different digital citizenship rules before I was going to give them access to our accounts as "Tweeter of the Day" and "Instagrammer of the Day". To take this a step further, I also had parents come in one night to complete the boot camp, as well. That's right-a parent social media bootcamp, where my students were the teachers, helped their parents get set up with accounts, and taught them about everything from retweets to our district hashtags.

2. Publishing for the World (and the Classroom Across the Hall) is Powerful

When we allow students to write and share their work with the world, suddenly their work becomes more valuable. Students will always do their worst writing when they know the only person who will ultimately view it is their teacher. How many assignments in classrooms are completed solely for teacher as a requirement of the curriculum?

Additionally, while sharing our stories with the world is invaluable, there's something to be said with simply using social media to share your story across the hallway. Canadian educator George Couros challenged me to use our account in a way that could connect our classroom with not only the world, but the other classrooms right in our school. This is where our school hashtag#LegacyK5 was born.

3. Establishing Your Classroom Brand

According to educators Joe Sanfelippo and Tony Sinanis, branding can be defined as "the marking practice of creating a name, symbol or design that identifies and differentiates a product from other products." Within the past few years, this idea of branding our schools/classrooms has become extremely valuable, as it promotes transparency by painting an accurate, live picture of what is taking place. Yet, in reality, the majority of the time the educators are the ones telling these stories. While this certainly has its place, ultimately what matters most is how students feel about their experiences. Social media has allowed my students to share our classroom happenings through their eyes. It has allowed my students the opportunity to both establish and share the culture of our classroom and our school, and ultimately create our "brand".

What we do in my classroom: By literally handing over classroom devices that are logged into our accounts, I am giving my students control to cultivate our brand. We have a rule in our classroom to only share pictures and the work of students that are engaged or making smart choices. Additionally, my students start each day with an introductory post (and usually a selfie or picture with me), and sign every post so our followers know who is writing that day. Day by day and month by month, they are sharing work that they deem important from inside our four walls.

Social media is happening-with or without you. The lessons my students learn by taking ownership of social media ends up enhancing all of their work, both in and out of school. And let's be honest... wouldn't you prefer to have your students write the story of your classroom, rather than someone else?
