Empowered Learner

Students created their own websites in this video. This allows them to be empowered learners because they are putting their creative thoughts into making their websites reflect on their own style.

Digital Citizen

In the video, teachers monitored their students to be sure that they were staying safe. The students had access to places all over the world, so it's important that the teachers are doing their job to ensure that students are becoming positive digital citizens.

Knowledge Constructor

Students in this video used a variety of different digital tools to construct their assignments. They used podcasts, blogs, cameras, and even tweeted to one another. The possibilities are endless.

Innovative Designer

In the video, there was a teacher that used Minecraft as a way of teaching. Students were able to use Minecraft to design their own shelters, homes, farms, and even learned survival skills.

Computational Thinker

This video shows teachers giving their students access to technology to solve their problems. They are learning to use technology and to think more critically about things.

Creative Communicator

Students in the video used iMovie to complete their assignments. The example used was two students discussing the issue of famine in Africa. They used a video camera to record themselves.

Global Collaborator

Students in this video were able to use FaceTime to talk to students all over the world. They also used Twitter to talk to other students as well.

The ISTE Standard of Digital Citizenship is an important skill to teach students who are surrounded by technology. By learning about Digital Citizenship students will understand how they can be responsible members of the online community.

The standard promotes online safety and emphasizes the accessibility of personal information about you and others and the permanence once it is posted. Students will realize the importance of supporting one another by not spreading hate or false information online. Becoming a Digital Citizen also means recognizing the valuable as well as not so valuable information that can be found online. By fact checking the reliability of sources students will be able to find websites that will enhance their research. This also emphasizes citing other people’s work to give credit to specific members of the community. Digital Citizenship is crucial for students to understand how to protect both themselves and others while online.

A global collaborator are Students that use digital tools to broaden their perspectives and enrich their learning by collaborating with others and working effectively in teams locally and globally.

Global collaboration is important for students in the digital age because of how learners would be able to develop global competence. Global competence can be defined as "the capacity and disposition to understand and act on issues of global significance,” (Mansilla, Jackson, Jacobs & Tree, 2013, p.2). Thus, students with global competence would be developing skills and knowledge applicable to real-world situations around the globe (ISTE Standards for Students). Furthermore, global collaboration introduces learners to other learners in different parts of the world. These students would learn not only to work together but also learn about each other’s cultures and education institutions  (Randles, 2018). Overall, global collaboration is important for students in the digital age because of how learners would be able to develop global competence (ISTE Standards for Students) .

A creative communicator is a student can express themselves in a creative way using platforms, tools, styles, and type of formats digitally that are appropriate to their goals.

Students who are creative communicators are able to show their own style and expression appropriately to the ways they get to do assignments. As a creative communicator, students are able to feel more engaged in what they have to do. It makes them feel more involved in the assignments because they have their own style on it. That also allows them to be able to enjoy the type of creativity they have with the way to communicate.

Educators can promote this trait through a variety of strategies.

1. One approach for educators to cultivate and promote these skills in students is to use asynchronous interaction with these international classes and to exchange online learning for others to engage with via these online platforms (Lindsay, 2016).

2. One other way educators may promote these skills is to
use video or chat-based applications to communicate in real-time. These synchronous engagement facilitates immediate learning because in a relatively short period, students
will ask questions, exchange media and increase the understanding of each other (Lindsay, 2016).

3. Finally, as a global learning community with the international classrooms, educators will
facilitate global cooperation by developing unique learning targets. This practice and learning object with the group will usually have
a common goal, such as a global collaboration projects. Thus, this would foster global collaboration.   (Lindsay, 2016).

Educators can promote these traits through a variety of strategies.

1. To encourage students to evaluate the accuracy, perspective, credibility and relevance of information, media, data and other resources, we can help teach students to ask themselves the following helpful questions:

"When was the resource last updated or copyrighted? Who is the resource trying to reach? What is its tone and mission? Does it show indication of problem or bias? Who wrote/published the source and what are their credentials? Does the source meet your needs? Does it have the information you're looking for?"

2. To promote students' knowledge building through the exploration of real-world issues and problems, and help them develop realistic and applicable solutions, educators can utilize Design Thinking. There are a variety of websites and online resources available to help teachers implement Design Thinking, but the general premise is that students are presented with an actual, current issue, and then are then tasked with finding a solution using their skills and resources.

3. To teach students to plan and employ effective research strategies while searching for information and additional resources, educators should introduce them to various modalities and databases. This might include familiarizing them with catalogs, digital databases, libraries, online bookmarking, and filtered search engines. It is important to show them not just what to use, but how to use it.

Educators can promote this trait through a variety of strategies.

1. Teachers can let students do video projects as a way to do a discussion where they can use filters to make it their own creative way to communicate what they are trying to show. An example is making a video over an essay over an event that was talked about in class. Where they can talk about it in a creative way.

2. Students could post on a discussion board in different ways. They can use photos to describe what is being discussed, or use a video to talk about it. They can use pictures to discuss with other students. Like create a meme to describe the... of what we learned or what event in history they found a big impact from.

3. Teachers could also participate in trying to find creative communication in the classroom. When they talk about a certain period of time, they could make a video with a background from that era. An example can be when talking about Ancient Rome, they can have a background of that while discussing it. To make a match of what they are talking about during the lesson to what things looked like too.

A empowered learners are students who use technology as an active role in choosing, achieving, and demonstrating success in their learning goals informed to them.

Empowered learners benefit the students and teachers because they are allowed to put their own creativity to the assignment or project for the goals placed. Becoming an empowered learner can be a good thing. It is very useful when students and teachers can create a fun and creative way to complete goals while being able to show your own in a creative point.

Educators can promote these traits through a variety of strategies.

1. Teachers can familiarize children with automation and step-by-step solutions by introducing them to coding programs at a young age. In addition to automation and sequencing, coding helps students become comfortable with handling and interpreting data sets. This familiarity allows students to use technology and data-related resources to their benefit in the future.

2. To instill algorithmic thinking in students, teachers may have students study detailed, sequential instructions. These instructions are the basis for algorithms. Explain the instructions in-depth, outlining every aspect, and each step. Giving students a chance to look at them in a simplified form, which they can more easily comprehend, helps them to make meaning from the process. Going forward, they will feel more competent to develop their own algorithms, especially with teacher-guided support.

3. By utilizing simulations, students can practice creating and testing automated solutions. These simulations range from simple to complex, and can be found online, at research centers, and in collaboration with virtual reality devices. All offer the opportunity for students to combine their own knowledge, their technological skills, and the intelligence of the computer program, to work towards a solution.

Educators can promote these traits through a variety of strategies.

1.  Have the students practice fact checking resources by researching current events and choosing three articles to compare and contrast. Students can write, make a chart, or create a presentation to show which sources they found most valuable as well as which ones they believe to be the most credible. Citing the sources and looking for publishing information can help to decipher the best sources.

2.  The class can join or create a digital citizenship awareness campaign. Once students recognize their own digital identity, they may want to work to make changes in the school community. By creating flyers, posting online, and taking to their peers the social studies students can spread awareness about the importance of staying safe and spreading positivity.

3.  At the beginning of the semester, during writing assignments or projects, provide resources that are reliable and limit the websites they can use for research. Then slowly as the year continues, allow them to take more autonomy over what sources and articles they choose. Then ask them to explain why they think it is a reliable source to use for their assignment and cite all information used.

Educators can promote this trait through a variety of strategies.

1. Teachers can have technology use in their classroom for assignments. They can have students use a laptop or tablet to make their own creative powerpoint over a review of the the event in history they read. Which helps with the goals lined up for the assignment.

2. The teacher could make a fun game for a way to review for a quiz or exam in social studies. An example can be Kahoot. Where the students get to try to answer the question correctly in a certain matter of time. If they answer it quickly and correctly, then they earn points. Which is a fun way to complete the goals the teacher wants for the review and allows them to have a fun time with answering them.

3. Another example is using tools like Padlet, Google Classroom, Canvas, or Flipgrid for assignments or just to keep track of assignments and announcements. Using Google Classroom or Canvas is a great way for students to organize and participate in discussions for the class. They also get to know what is going on with announcements teachers can make on there. That helps them stay up to date with what they have to get done. Using Flipgrid or Padlet is a great to for discussion for class. The students can find a creative way to post what they have to talk about or what they want to talk about.

An innovative designer is a student that uses a design process to create unique solutions to their problems.

Students who are innovative designers are those that can use technology to create new ideas that will test their theories. They can do this in a variety of different ways, but an innovative designer is someone that uses their tools efficiently and makes intentional decisions to make themselves a more self-directed or self-motivated learner.

# data[].attributes.body
Educators can promote this trait through a variety of strategies.

1. Teachers can provide the necessary tools for their students to become innovative designers. This would mean allowing the students to have access to computers or tablets. They can also provide insight on what strategies would be most effective to solve their problems.

2. Teachers can encourage their students to set their own personal goals. By doing this, students will be inspired to explore different resources that will guide them to success. When students do this, they become self-motivated, creative, and innovative learners.

3. Teachers can help students think of different possibilities ahead of time. To do this, students should move away of thinking about what something is and think more towards what it could be. This inspires students to think of ways to change the situation at hand and explore new creative solutions.
