Not only is each lesson aligned with the ISTE standards but each lesson also takes on real challenges and digital dilemmas that students face today, giving them the skills they need to succeed as digital learners, leaders, and citizens tomorrow. We are also excited about the Family Links that each lesson has attached. Students can then take the lessons they have learned and talk about them with their parents at home. ]]> 2019-06-12 16:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/367216286 https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/367423810 The articles "Digital Citizenship Lessons in Two Minutes or Less" and "Don't Teach Digital Citizenship-Embed it" spoke to me because these are simple, yet real-life situations that can teach students about how to be responsible online without being "preachy". Having real world conversations with the class about my reaction to a Twitter tweet or Facebook post can show them that even as adults we deal with being a digital citizen every day too. ]]> 2019-06-13 14:33:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/367423810 https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/367583817 2019-06-14 11:23:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/367583817 https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/367583820 At Porter-Gaud School we like to focus on empathy by modeling positive communication online. The platform of choice for us is Flipgrid. This initially was used in our foreign language classes, but now is used in various subjects throughout grades 1-12. An example in the foreign language classes would be for students to complete an activity and then classmates post positive comments and/or emojis back. Students would also ask questions of students in other classes or grade levels and then focus on answering and commenting back in a positive, meaningful way. Teachers also comment on the lessons. This is done individually with the focus being to model positive communication. Administrators and parents are often invited in the grids and also comment on student and teacher work. This is such an amazing way to have the whole school community involved in modeling empathy through positive online communication. Flipgrid is now used for lessons world wide. We communicate with classrooms all over the world. Since we have instilled a culture of empathy, we feel confident that the students and teachers will model this when communicating with others outside of our school. ]]> 2019-06-14 11:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/367583820 https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/367640132 Reaching Parents is really the goal I am struggling with how to lay out and implement. Below I found 7 easy ways. I think if we at leasted attempted half of these, we could be a good place as we move forward! Then the following year attempt for all 7. It is a start at least.]]> 2019-06-14 17:41:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/367640132 sheri_gray2 https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/367716149 If students don't learn these important skills (digital empathy, authenticity, collaboration) by performing the tasks themselves then it will be just another abstract idea that only become real when they run into problems. Using an app like See Saw opens the door for discussion and encourages authentic learning of Digital Citizenship skills. What I like most about this app as referenced in the article "Don't Teach Digital Citizenship-Embed It" is that it allows for the addition of media to be accessible within a classroom feed. The public nature of this makes students really think about what they post. I also like that students can post their creations and then discuss together to learn how to produce positive feedback. This positive feedback in turn promotes positive learning experiences and therefore make them good digital citizens:).]]> 2019-06-15 17:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/367716149 https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/367828385 Loved the suggestion from the Digital Citizenship in Two Minutes or Less article to catch a student being kind/helpful, then asking their permission to share the interaction on your class twitter account.

This includes a multi-layered approach to support teachers as learners through this process. For the self-motivated, the summer link to the website training will be provided. We will also have a face to face meeting and discussion and offer extra personalized sessions to give all of our learners and avenue to find success. ]]> 2019-06-18 00:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/368010867 kelley_briceno https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/368035051 I love the idea of helping colleagues develop their PLNs. Twitter is an excellent resource, but some of the more reluctant teachers are not there yet. Most of them are on Facebook, though, and there are some powerful professional groups. A few of my favorites are Seesaw for Teachers, Shake Up Learning, MYP Design Teachers, and Teach with Tech. I love this article from Edutopia about using social media to engage our school community.]]> 2019-06-18 03:42:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/368035051 todd_desando https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/368528071 Be Internet Awesome is Google's educational program to assist students on becoming good digital citizens while learning about phishing, online bullying,  etc. The program is fully aligned with ISTE standards. The lessons and activities use gamification to help students understand the key issues being addressed in each section.  ]]> 2019-06-20 17:30:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/368528071 https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/368528239 I really enjoyed the idea shared in the post titled, "Be a Model Digital Citizen" in which Alice Keeler promotes Digital Citizenship with her students by rewarding them with badges. 
Everyone likes to be recognized and a badge is a trendy and digitally relevant means by which teachers can recognize their students as they strive towards Digital Citizenship. I am imagining a classroom in which the teacher has set expectations for how students will engage in the digital world and accompanying badges to distribute to students when they reach the given milestones. ]]> 2019-06-20 17:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/368528239 Dr_L_Williams https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/368551013 In the summer school personal fitness class that we offer to high school students, we focus on physical, emotional, and mental health and wellness. The unit discussed this week focused primarily on mental and emotional health with an emphasis on stress (both positive and negative). Included in that discussion was the topic of technology and how it contributes to or takes away stress. The students watched the video attached and had small group as well as whole class discussions about technology's impact in their lives. It was great for them to acknowledge the generalizations the video provided and had them reflecting on their own technology use. It was definitely not a one-time discussion point but one that we will continue to ask about the right tools for them to use to complete tasks and help with stress.]]> 2019-06-20 21:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/368551013 Profe_Seiden https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/369159531 2019-06-25 18:46:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/369159531 Profe_Seiden https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/369159621 After reading up on digital citizenship, empathy can be the catalyst that informs the core of what we are fostering and modeling. If we understand that not attributing authorship has a harmful effect on the authors. If we know that propagating rumors is akin to repeating unverified or false information. And finally, and most importantly, if we know that failure to foster a safe environment online comes down to creating ideal conditions for abuse and pain, then we know that being able to empathize with others can address these core ideas. 
Empatico is an incredible platform that we can use to support students ages 6 -11. but the ideas can be used in all aspects of a school community.]]> 2019-06-25 18:46:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jlee69/pmblvsxwb4wa/wish/369159621
