The reality we can't implement a comprehensive Digital Citizenship/Media literacy and Ed. Technology plan unless we include all stakeholders in particular teachers, staff and students. To understand the big picture you must first listen to what people are saying and let them know that they are heard.

All teachers were invited attend but it was not mandatory. The Technology Team's wants to facilitate a working environment that promotes Trust, Respect, Self-awareness, inclusion and open communication. To understand where we need to go we need to first figure out where are we at this present time. ]]> 2022-04-03 21:09:56 UTC https://padlet.com/gerryturcotte/Bookmarks/wish/2127518108 Domino Chain Reaction gerryturcotte https://padlet.com/gerryturcotte/Bookmarks/wish/2127535856 In the past our Technology team in our school division was in fact two separate teams:
A) Information Technology
B) Educational Technology
At times vision alignment was misaligned which reduced the capacity of successful implementation of technology initiatives in schools.

We have now merged the two teams together which has resulted in improved technology usage in classroom settings.

I had the pleasure to present with Durston, Kelly and Gunpreesh on "What role should schools play in teaching digital citizenship? In the presentation I discussed the importance of building engagement capacity with teachers. If teachers are frustrated because technology is not working in their classroom it will will negatively impact teaching Digital Citizenship in the classroom.

Understanding what the teacher and students technology experience is crucial. Successful implementation will result in a domino chain reaction.

The following areas that recommended are listed below:
1) Improve Edsby communication between school and parents.
2) Provide in person information sessions where parents can ask questions and provide feedback pertaining to the Edsby platform.
3) Provide access to digital and hardcopy resources where parents can access Edsby Support Documents.

The "Fishing Rod" in this case is technology resources in a hardware, software and Digital/Media format. Each Treaty Education Kit will have iPads for students to use so they can communicate with their peers, teacher and parents on what they have learned.

The digital platform that was selected was a result of consultation with our school division Speech Language Pathologists. As a team we have decided to use Boom Cards. To learn more please select the Boom Learning Video link Below:

This is a wonderful example of how to help students, parents/guardian, teachers and the entire community to understand what Digital Citizenship is. The Digital Compass is an excellent tool for people to find their bearing when it comes Digital Citizenship and Media Literacy. Before you start any journey you need to know your starting point.

1) Look for previous work from reputable fact checking organizations.
2) Go upstream by using images.google.com. Use this resource to reverse image search.
3) It is best to reference many sources over a particular topic. Teach students the importance of vertical and lateral reading. Encourage students to think critically and objectively about the information found on the Internet.

Second Stage = "As long as I don't get caught or hurt others"
Third Stage = Disenfranchised, non participant, Inappropriate and/or Inconsiderate

Fifth Stage = "It depends on the situation"
Sixth Stage = Safe, Savvy, & Social (Empowered, Responsible, & Appropriate)
