Be a Model Digital Citizen" and get a copy of the choice board, it is an excellent tool.  I plan on using it at the end of my digital citizenship lessons.

I loved the suggestion to practice group commenting and the inclusion of the discussion starters. This really fits with my plan to work on accountable talk stems. A couple suggested starters I really liked were: Your post taught me that, This made me think of because, and I really liked. Have you thought of?

Snagged a copy of that! Modeling for students definitely fits into that "best practices" framework, and this is a great way to get yourself comfortable and model while co-learning with students.

Digital Citizenship Lessons in Two Minutes or Less, I realized this is something I do in the classroom already.  We often have conversations about social media posts and current events.  We relate what they see on Instagram or Twitter to what is going on with the world.  I often tell them what I read that morning on Facebook and we compare what the post popular topics are across platforms.  It is usually a 5 minute conversation a few times a week.  The students try to challenge me since most do not use Facebook anymore.

One of which was to create a longer password and the other was a tip I gained from Twitter which is not only can a  Version from your history in a doc be named you can also make a copy of that version.  Students can turn them in as first draft etc. These were real things to be integrated into the classroom. ]]> 2019-11-30 00:15:42 UTC https://padlet.com/aheffner2/sk9hkcxf52r3/wish/417867264 Embedding Digital Citizenship https://padlet.com/aheffner2/sk9hkcxf52r3/wish/417943531 Thanks to the posts here that kept me searching for the Choice Board. Yes, what a great resource! Also really liked your TAG tip Lauren. I'll have to remember that as one of the articles mentioned, students so often think that commenting is "Cool" or "Awesome". Going beyond those kinds of comments requires teaching and practice. I had fun playing around with Google's Interland game of beinginternetawesome. Kids love the games and they can be such a great teacher.
