Great Back to School Activity for Digital Citizenship

Great Back to School Activity for Digital Citizenship | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From theinnovativeeducator.blogspot.co.uk - August 20, 2014 11:06 PM

"Like it or not, today's students are not just citizens. They are "digital" citizens. This means that educators need to spend time with students on ensuring they know how to be responsible online."

Beth Dichter's insight:

In this post Lisa Neilson shares a great activity to help students learn more about digital citizenship.

There are five steps, which begin with the students thinking about their online reputation and coming up with a sentence that describes it in 140 characters or less.

* Students them would then go to Animoto and create a 30 second video using images that help illustrate their sentence (Steps 2 and 3 in the post).

* Videos would then be uploaded to Padlet.

*Have a movie screening so the students can see others work.

There is much more information in the post and I would urge you to check out the link to the New York City Department of Education Social -  Media page for additional resources.

What's your digital footprint? Take this quiz and find out! | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From theinnovativeeducator.blogspot.com - April 11, 2013 10:27 PM

"I developed this quiz with members of my personal learning network (found at end of post) to get students thinking about their digital footprint. The quiz was created at the request of high school students I spoke with who thought the creation of a such a quiz could lead to a smart conversation about ways students can update their digital footprint so that it is one that leads to college and career success."

Beth Dichter's insight:

If you work with students in high school (or even college) you might want to have them check out this digital footprint quiz. Students answer 8 questions and score their quiz. There are six possible outcomes:

* Negative Score: Clean up time
* No Score: You’re off the radar 
* 1 - 10 points: You’re a New “Foot” on the Block

* 11 - 15 points: You’re Making Strides
* 16 - 20 points: You’re a Rising star! (or “Digital Weaver”)
* More than 20 points: You’re Web Wise!

More details are available for each description.

Reinforcing awareness -------- nothing is private!

Important tool and topic. Kids just don't "get it"
Maria Hoard's curator insight, June 5, 2022 4:02 PM
Monitoring your digital footprint is just as important as the network you choose to build online.  Your online presence can define you professionally and personally.  What do you want to be known for?  How do you want yourself to be identified?  Digital citizenship starts in schools and having a good self realization of where you are will drive you forward with your students.
