How DO we develop Digital Citizenship

It is now week two of #DCMOOC.
I am so thankful to be part of this wonderful community and its collective body of knowledge. Our multi-level, multi disciplinary network provides a wealth of perspective and inspiration on how to assist students into developing into the best that they can be. This week I’ve chosen to practice collecting information and providing proper attribution by remixing a few inspirational thoughts from my PLN. Thank you to Terry Johanson and her blog post Just Like Nancy, for moving me into a DOing frame of mind. Please feel free to share or add any ideas or comments.

The above image reminds me that Alec Couros highlighted the reality of our digital society during his live session  Introduction to Digital Citizenship. Citizenship is something that we should strive to DO in all our daily environments.

A1 Dig citizenship is the same as regular citizenship. Its important because our culture and interactions increasingly online #dcmchat

A1:To me, digital citizenship is really about being a positive and contributing citizen – online, offline, locally, globally, etc. #dcmchat

A1 DC means acting with integrity and empathy when using digital technology to connect with others. #dcmooc #dcmchat

We have to model positive online interactions in school. If not, Ss see the internet as a haven from school rules/morals #dcmchat

A3 – Get students producing and sharing their own digital artifacts so they can appreciate the work of others. #dcmooc #dcmchat

DO offer practical explanations

#dcmchat A1 We are all role models; give respect to get respect; act the best we are rather than react

A3 – When Ss realize that crediting sources is just a way of saying "Thx for letting us use your stuff," they don't seem to mind! #dcmchat

DO make it DO able

By providing your students with  short and informative how to videos such as the one produced by fellow #DCMOOC member Jordan Epp

 

 

DO share resources.

A3 What are our online "rights" and "responsibilities"? Discover Canada has it outline for Cnd citizens #dcmchat http://t.co/ZH08mXXp4L
