Remake of Growing Up Digital by Shannon Johnson https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv Review the "Growing Up Digital" website to find resources you can use to increase parent involvement. Try to add something for at least 4 categories. en-us 2020-10-05 21:56:46 UTC 2026-01-19 16:33:40 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Rocket.png We have to remember jfisher92 https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/925188725 That although our students have grown up around technology, and they know how to post stuff on TikTok, etc., that they are still kids.  They still need to be taught what is wrong vs. what is right and how to sense danger in an online environment. -Justin]]> 2020-11-15 21:38:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/925188725 Social media can be positive or negative jfisher92 https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/925191750 We all know that once you put something out there, it can be replicated and viewed multiple times just within a second. Thus, we need to remind our students that they must be their own gate keeper of information. -Justin]]> 2020-11-15 21:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/925191750 is no joke jfisher92 https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/925194028 One of the lessons that I plan on instilling into my students now, as I think about it more and more often is the fact that whether it is physical bullying or cyberbullying. It is still bullying. One of the questions that was instilled in me, was to always think, would my parents be happy with me if they heard me say those words that I am typing?]]> 2020-11-15 21:42:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/925194028 We are gatekeepers jfisher92 https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/925195740 As educators, we are not only gatekeepers of our own information, but also of our students, which is why I never and will ever talk about my students online even with contacts that I would make in person comments too. Even in person, I will never talk about my students (especially in a negative way), as you never know who is listening and how they may interpret just one notion that is said. ]]> 2020-11-15 21:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/925195740 Rachel G https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/927453577 One resource I found under cyberbullying was the "common sense on cyberbullying" tip sheet geared for elementary students. It explains what cyberbullying is and gives specific tips that families can use with their children. ]]> 2020-11-16 15:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/927453577 Rachel G https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/927472527 I thought the '5 surefire ways to protect your online privacy' was a great resource for parents. It's a short video, but gives 5 concrete steps parents can take to protect their and their child's online privacy. It also had pictures and text within the video, which made it easy to view.]]> 2020-11-16 15:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/927472527 Rachel G https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/927486556 I found the 'BCPS Digital Citizenship Scope and Sequence K-12' as an interesting resource to share with families. It breaks down specific topics and skills, breaks down in which grades these targets and skills will be introduced and reinforced, and lists family engagement activities for each topic.]]> 2020-11-16 15:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/927486556 Rachel G https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/927506454 There are many tools that students are using in their classes. I like that on this page, they shared what type of information was shared at different levels and which applications were at which level of privacy.]]> 2020-11-16 15:11:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/927506454 Communication with your child bburnam1 https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/950695676 2020-11-23 01:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/950695676 BCPS encouraging google. bburnam1 https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/950698706 2020-11-23 01:20:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/950698706 Encouraging twitter with paper so students can practice what is appropriate and not appropriate to communicate to families. bburnam1 https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/950700058 2020-11-23 01:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/950700058 Cyberbullying is serious and parent communication with them learning to monitor their child's accounts is essential. bburnam1 https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/950704446 2020-11-23 01:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/950704446 Stories help.. https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/957939028 I liked the tip sheet provided on this page for families of children in elementary school.  I think there were good suggestions as far as talking about it and to practice writing a text message to someone.  Another suggestion is to read stories about bullying.  This can start at a very young age with familiar characters such as such as the Bernstien Bears and being nice to friends.  Incorporating these lessons early can be a useful tool in preventing future cyber bullying.

The video is short and it's catchy with the music. It gives short, basic specific recommendations that are easy to implement. A family would have a good starting point to improve their security by just watching the video.]]> 2020-11-24 21:42:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/957968672 Helpful chart https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/957982277 I like the chart that was provided in the digital citizenship section under scope and sequence. Starting at the very youngest age it had a learning target of balancing media time and non-media time. It also had resources for family activities that parents could access if they needed ideas. In addition, the chart was helpful to families because the learning targets and objectives changed by the student's grade level. It gives family's a guideline of what to focus on at different age levels.]]> 2020-11-24 21:49:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/957982277 I think the scope and sequence chart is very helpful to parents, especially when it comes to balancing media vs. non-media time (although that's a challenge in our current situation). I'm hoping once we are able to teach in our school buildings we can try and get a handle on the amount of time students are spending in front of screens. abentzley https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/992462054 Amberly]]> 2020-12-07 01:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/992462054 The challenge here is for parents to be more aware of what their children are posting, reading, and exposed to online. Unfortunately, parents are so busy that they can't always supervise their children's online accounts. I see so many elementary students with their own phones, iPads, and tvs in their bedrooms. I think we may need to incorporate the tip sheet and frequent discussions about cyberbullying in our SEL lessons at school since we don't know how often parents are able to discuss this issue with their kids. -Amberly abentzley https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/992467475 2020-12-07 01:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/992467475 Bree L https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/995491002 In this digital age, parents assume their children know and understand things better than the children actually do. It is important that we teach and model to students how to behave in an online setting. Yes, we know the comments section on youtube is full of brutal criticisms and foul language, but that is not what it should be. We need to teach kids how to be good digital citizens so that they can recognize when they are cyber bullying others and/or how to deal with cyber bullies.]]> 2020-12-07 18:50:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/995491002 Bree L https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/995507240 The irony of this after the ransomware attack. We as a school system have a duty to protect the PII of our students because if not, it can have severe ramifications for them. Their addresses, DOB, phone numbers and pictures are available. If this was to be sold, it could easily get into the hands of some truly heinous people. Additionally, their SS numbers can be stolen and used fraudulently to wrack up thousands of dollars in debt without parents or students being aware. These are devastating life events that we need to protect our students' data.]]> 2020-12-07 18:53:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/995507240 Bree L https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/995546433 I cannot access the Growing Up Digital Page, due to the ransomware attack. However, I do love the idea of using social media as a way to build community with students and families. It is a great way to stay in touch with former students, to share/celebrate big moments in their lives, and to teach students how to use social media appropriately and safely. ]]> 2020-12-07 19:01:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/995546433 5 Tips for Protecting Student Privacy https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/2135167152 1.

It gives great definitions and lots of explanations. This is a great introduction because many parents and students do not understand cyberbullying. Many students have some type of access to the internet, so this is very important. ]]> 2022-04-14 16:23:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/2144089223 Digital Citizenship Scope and Sequence https://padlet.com/sjohnson21/nsvirj9zv58xz3rv/wish/2144173841 I love this document for parents to use.  It is a great resource to see what each grade level is learning and different lessons that will be taught. One of the lessons, "Safety in my Online Neighborhood" takes children on an online field trip to keep safe online. Great way for children to relate when traveling through a real neighborhood.

"Who Am I" is a great lesson that gets students to understand who they are online. The one part of the lesson that I found interesting was showing students what happens when they look up something.  Not only does that bring up many aspect of the search, but now marketers have idea of what you or what you didn't look up.
