This website goes into the nine elements of digital citizenship, helping teachers to define these elements and explains how students can be respectful and safe while they navigate the internet. ]]> 2021-08-04 13:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/vschneider/42192dtv2o1w9jhh/wish/1668908692 vschneider https://padlet.com/vschneider/42192dtv2o1w9jhh/wish/1668914874 This blog puts together a list of credible resources for teachers who are interested in making digital citizenship a foundational piece of their content. There are tools available for elementary and secondary teachers on safety and "netiquette" for students.]]> 2021-08-04 13:44:02 UTC https://padlet.com/vschneider/42192dtv2o1w9jhh/wish/1668914874 vschneider https://padlet.com/vschneider/42192dtv2o1w9jhh/wish/1668927689 In this scholarly article from the  Journal of New Approaches of Educational Research, the authors identify the three main concepts that people must understand to navigate the digital world: Digital Rights, Digital Citizenship, and Digital Literacy. The authors explain that these concepts operate parallel to each other but where digital citizenship and digital literacy are able to be taught in classrooms, digital rights must be defined and regulated by the government which can be a major roadblock for teachers. The authors end the article with certain action steps that can be taken by educators and researchers but more research needs to be done in this field on how to effectively teach these three concepts.]]> 2021-08-04 13:55:45 UTC https://padlet.com/vschneider/42192dtv2o1w9jhh/wish/1668927689 vschneider https://padlet.com/vschneider/42192dtv2o1w9jhh/wish/1668945320 This article explains the need for teaching both digital citizenship and digital literacy in the secondary classroom. There is a big difference from knowing how to use the internet and knowing the implications of such use. Public education is partly responsible for creating the society of the future and our current students will need to understand how to safely and knowledgably navigate the internet. If secondary technology teachers or core content teachers take one day a week to teach a lesson on digital citizenship, they will be greatly serving their student population long after graduation. ]]> 2021-08-04 14:11:25 UTC https://padlet.com/vschneider/42192dtv2o1w9jhh/wish/1668945320 vschneider https://padlet.com/vschneider/42192dtv2o1w9jhh/wish/1668951773 The International Society for Technology in Education has technology standards for leaders, educators, and students.
