Promoting curiosity in your classroom is something I personally consider to be the foundation of a good relationship with learning. Now that we are in this digital driven society, it is even more important. Students cannot take your personal, face to face excitement, about learning with them when they are stuck at home... But if you can promote curiosity, if you can put that spark of wonder in their minds... they can take that anywhere at anytime. Students can use that throughout their whole life, even beyond school. -Delaney Wright

There is so much negative in the world of technology and the need to teach and model social responsibility has never been at a greater value than today. I think that digital citizenship is probably the most important lesson to be taught above all other lessons in technology. If you can learn that first and foremost you are ahead of the game in all other aspects of technology.

To me this has a lot to do with access and age. I teach students K-5 so the approach is very different. I try to learn how much access they have to technology, social media, etc. That helps lead discussion.

Social responsibility is important in every aspect of life and teaching it with technology is especially important. We need to protect our students as best as we can and teach them what is appropriate and not appropriate to do while on technology. Just yesterday, on Google Meet, my students were mentioning things that they have learned on the internet about the Titanic. One student chimed in with that not everything on the Internet was accurate. I took the opportunity to share the importance of going to trusted sites and not to use Wikipedias, etc. when seeking information.

As an educator and as a leader in our school building, it's important to model appropriate digital citizenship. We do this by promoting the monthly digital citizenship lessons, and through our guidance lessons, examples, etc. In our Kindness Campaign, we've previously included a lesson on digital citizenship and being kind online - sharing a Kid President video with class discussion questions. In addition, we regularly speak with students about the importance of using tech/social media/etc. with caution. I can't count the number of times I've said, "The internet is forever!" or "Once you post or send a picture to someone else, you no longer have control of what happens with it." It's important to help our students learn how to navigate this all-too-visible digital world responsibly.

I think that one of the biggest things that you can do is promote a positive and safe environment for your students; not only for them, but for you as well. If the students love to come into your class, they feel safe there, and they feel like it is okay to make mistakes, they will be more open to learning.

As an English teacher, I've used technology in online discussions where students had to share their opinion and then respond to others, using sentence frames they had learned in our Socratic Seminars. Technology was another tool for my students to connect with one another, and at the same time, they got practice having to write their thoughts down so they were coherent and grammatically correct.

This standard works well with many of the Speaking and Listening Standards for my ELA content. In the future, it would be beneficial to have students compare and contrast being a model citizen when engaging in verbal discussions versus being model citizen when engaging in digital discussions. Although there are differences, the big take away I want students to get is that no matter where they engage in speaking and listening, they can be positive and empathetic to create a sense of community.

It's so important for students to understand their role in creating a safe environment for others. I remember a student coming to me saying that she had posted in a discussion the wrong answer. She knew it was the wrong answer because 21 people had told her so in the discussion. She understood that they did because it was an easy way to get credit for responding to another post, but she didn't want to use discussions again. We, as teachers, must help students understand how to create a safe place.

With good practices in digital citizenship we create a better learning and growing environment for everyone. Acting in the interest of others is the best way to promote this improvement. For example, treating others with the utmost respect and kindness, giving credit where credit is due, and ethical creation and collaboration benefits the entire global technology sphere. – Kristina Nytch

we need to be involved in the social, physical, and emotional environments  and technology plays a role in all of those, not just the intellectual. Since it plays such a role, we need to make sure we protect our students and ourselves online. We should encourage curiosity as it says, while at the same time protecting the boundaries safely.

As the technology teacher, I feel like this is one of my most important jobs and roles. First I have to model good online behavior, but second I need to teach the students how to behave while interacting online. This is crucial in todays digital world and especially with such young students. From the beginning, they need to learn how to interact, react, and manage any and all digital experiences. They need to learn how to protect themselves and how important it is to protect their digital footprint. There is so much good that can come from digital experiences, but with the good, comes the bad and they need to know how to navigate safely in this ever growing digital world we live in.

I thought it was a good point about not just being kind and respectful but standing up for those who are being bullied.  It's so easy to just ignore it and see it not as your problem but we should be teaching our students, explicitly and by example, to stand up for those who are being cyber bullied. In the classroom that could like a lesson on cyberbullying and then monitoring school technology use.   - Kimberly Campbell

One of the goals we should all pursue is to promote a learning environment where every single student feels safe in the small community which is the classroom. A community in which they  all should feel valued and respected. That is why, incorporating technology as part of the curriculum is valuable provided we create a safe learning environment. Technology should also be a means fo helping students to see peers as part of their learning process. This is not about the child and the technology, but more importantly about the child using technology for turning the classroom in a small projection of the society we all aspire to live in.

# data[].attributes.body
In my classroom, I find technology is a great way to increase the curiosity of the students. Instead of just reading an encyclopedia, there are pictures, video, and other resources to get them excited about learning. At the same time, I have to remind them that curiosity has to be governed by rules for their safety. In this way, they can be excited about learning but do it in a safe environment.

As a teacher I should teach students what it means to be a good citizen on line meaning, ethical ( not plagarizing), being safe (protecting yourself from preditors (not using your full name), also being careful what you say and what pictures you display of yourself online. These may all be incriminating and might not really be the message you want to put forth online. So I say, " think before you post. "

We need to highly emphasize to the students that online learning requires a lot of responsibility and some level of professionalism which can then be used in their everyday lives as a model citizen

The internet with all the opportunities it affords is all too often used with negative motivations. Cyberbullying is very real and hides behind a veil of anonymity. It's so easy to be rude, disrespectful, or just plain mean when both you and the recipient are both just names on a computer screen. I think that this is an important topic to discuss with your students.

# data[].attributes.body
It is so easy to not be safe online and to not be kind. Now with the stay at home school it is making it easier for kids to talk behind a screen and it could affect others. Teaching the kids from the start how to be a good citizen can help them be a good example. Maybe having a helper through your class chats can help the kids be more kind and listen to the material better.

I think that citizenship may be the area where we have the opportunity to help our students the most.  They probably know more about the digital world than any of us ever will, simply because it is the world they are growing up in.  What they don't often seem to know about is kindness and manners - citizenship.  We can set an example in all that we do online.  We can show respect to every student, parent, colleague and their ideas, regardless of differences.  We can show the importance of protection of identity and intellectual property by our example.  The students are not going to remember, in the long run, or even next week, if we can remember how to run a program.  They will always remember our personal values and how they came across digitally.  - Cindy Watts

I think this category is highly relevant as we need to be preparing our students for a world full of 'fake news', phishing scams and identity theft. Students are already dealing with cyber bullying and sexting in unprecedented ways, and any positive reinforcement and instruction they can receive from us will be valued.

I am an art teacher. In my class, I think most relevant to this subject is teaching about copyright, image theft and plagiarism. I think basic understanding of intellectual property and copyright is important for understanding because students need to understand that ideas have monetary value.

I also think that image sharing on social media is applicable to my field. Appropriate representation of digital identity is huge, because digital profiles are often glossed over and do not really represent the person with the account.

Exhibiting empathetic behavior is a big on for me with being a good citizen! It's SO important to teach our students how to be kind and supportive when dealing with people using technology. It is easy to be cruel on social media. We need to teach students their words are still dangerous. We need to stand up for people and protect each other. Social media is a dangerous place where we can do a lot of damage if we are not careful with our words.

For me the most important thing about this standard is being ethical and also showing empathy for others. I have had great examples of both from colleagues and it definitely makes a difference in my learning. The way that I apply this to my classroom right now is by being understanding of incomplete of late assignments. Giving my students the opportunity to learn without feeling the pressure of finish everything or being on time for assigments.

Being a good citizen means :teaching students to have a growth mindset and allow others the same respect while learning. We should have rules of respect in our classroom as well as online.

I have heard a lot of stories from teachers about having to edit things that students post.  I think it is so great that Canyons has lessons provided for teachers to teach digital citizenship so that we can pre-correct some of those behaviors and teach the students why we want to be good digital citizens.

One thing I have learned more about and have tried to impart to the teachers I work with is the digital footprint. We need to understand, and help our students understand, that what we do online is a lot more public than we may think. And it doesn't just go away. Being aware of the footprint you leave is very important. One example I did was to have teachers google themselves and see what they could find!

# data[].attributes.body
To be honest, I've found that with some of my students the required addition of using technology during my speech sessions has actually increased participation. I've been seeking out fun, interactive games for us to play and am able to give them control of my screen so they're actively clicking/typing. While I don't love screen time and would never rely on this in a typical day to day scenario, I've been surprised at how easily some of the students have adjusted and will incorporate more of these activities to switch things up in the future.

Students need to have specific instructions before they are allowed to use the technology available in our classrooms. I have learned that it is very important to take the time to demonstrate and practice before let them dive in to the course using technology. When they understand that rules keep us all safe, they will respond more positively.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this is a nice segue into a discussion on cyberbullying. Students have to understand that what is being said online can come off as much harsher than what you're saying in person because you can't see a smile on a face or hear a tone in the person's voice. Always err on the side of being polite and respectful when online.

# data[].attributes.body
Providing safe and positive opportunities to use online platforms is important. Using Fipgrid during distance learning I let the students comment on each other as long as it was positive and kind.

I was struck by this element of being a citizen and watching what has happened in the past years with Facebook.  We need to teach our students to really look at the source and bias when online.  There is a motive and a reason behind what people post online, so we need to be critical and aware of that and teach it.  I also think that when we see something that is false, or incredibly distorts truth, we should call it out and let others know that it is wrong.  We all have to help educate others.

It can be easy to overlook this standard with younger grades, or dismiss the idea of first graders interacting with one another online. Teachers can model appropriate online interactions for students and provide them with the opportunity to interact online in the classroom or through an online discussion with classmates. We can help students build relationships with their classmates as they respond to discussions with video or audio files, and comment on each others posts.

Teaching digital literacy and being a good digital citizen yourself is essential in education.  Students need to be explicitly taught how to be good digital citizens because some parents will address this with their chidren, but others will not.  Technology changes constantly and we need to be prepared to help children navigate through this. So digital citizenship lessons throughout the year, and good modeling by teachers is necessary.

As a citizen, it is important that we model positive social interaction by respecting all opinions and reviewing material with an open ind. In addition, when we post material and share information is is important that if all possible be positive, accurate and in the best interest of society.

One of the skills we cover in my classroom is examining sources and accounts of events and their legitimacy, looking for bias, and trying to understand context. This standard aligns with that because it talks about doing these skills but in an online way. We use all kinds of online resources and examine their validity and looks for bias. This helps students prepare for life after school or careers.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this standard is modeled in how we as teachers ask our students to engage with one another online in addition to how we ask them to find information and publish that information.  It is important to let students know why it is important to be a digital citizen instead of just asking them to do it.  Many of our students do not realize what it means to interact online because it is so intrinsically normal for them;  we have to fill that mentor role where we provide them with the insights,  and the rules for the online world to navigate it successfully.

It's important to help students understand how to use media and technology in a positive way. This will help give them alternatives to the negative influences they face and help them use technology in a positive way. For example using a discussion board to allow students to comment on what they gained from a learning experience. The teacher can monitor these discussions to ensure the students are following directions and staying positive.

# data[].attributes.body
I was just discussing with other ELA teachers that we need to do more to help students understand how the information they pull from online is not "common knowledge" and that they need more support understanding how online information is meant to supplement their education and not replace it. We discussed the need to develop and refine research skills, help students investigate bias, and how to teach students the tools to embed what they learn into proper formats that are fair, safe, and socially responsible.

This is probably the most important standard for teachers to consider. Our digital presence is forever, and we as teachers, in collaboration with parents, need to make sure our students are being responsible citizens in all aspects including digitally.
