Infographic: Citizenship in the digital age

Infographic: Citizenship in the digital age | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
Digital citizenship is not so different from traditional citizenship. We still need to guide students to be kind, respectful and responsible. What’s new is teaching them how to apply these values to the realities of the digital age.
Beth Dichter's insight:

This new infographic from ISTE compares a good citizen to a good digital citizen. Many students many find this poster of value as they learn the need to be a good citizen both online and offline.

As the post states, being a good citizen and a good digital citizen "are not so different from the basic tenets of traditional citizenship: Be kind, respectful and responsible, and just do the right thing."

By doing what’s right for our kids in our classrooms. Not just because it’s a popular word. Because it’s what matters."

I recently saw an article in eSchool news outlining the "Ten Skills Every Student Should Learn" According to the article, they are:
Read

Communicate effectively, and with respeect...

 

But what about "attributes that help kids at any level." These are skills I think kids need to learn as soon as possible, at whatever age or grade that happens. Most will be gradual, requiring parental, educational, and community support. These may take the entire village:

1. Learn to be flexible...

2. Learn to see differences as opportunities.
Check out the article for the full list.
