Hello all! Derek, Library Media Coordinator & Digital Learning Coach from @washk12 in Southern Utah joining in #MOedchat talking #DigCit! Let's get ready for some fun!
A1 leaving a responsible and positive footprint, that focuses on academic and behavioral growth. Using technology to tell our story and learn from others #moedchat
A1: Recognizing we can promote safety of our students within our school, but the Web reaches so much further. We must advocate, educate, and collaborate. #MOedchat
A1: Exemplify responsible usage of social pathways, and instruct others of the hazards of online interactions. Urge others to investigate, research, protect, and proof what one has access to. #moedchat
A1 Digital Citizenship is one of the most important things we can help Ss understand and as a EDU leader we need to find ways to help them try and learn w/o fear of being beaten down for mistakes. #MOedchat#DigCit
A1: I think it means that you know you're bottom line, and you're willing to stick to it. That you model what it means to be responsible online, and that you understand folks are starting with varying understandings of #DigCit. #MOedChat
Tonight, God bless those that serve others, those that put others before themselves.
Police officers, teachers, parents, preachers, armed service members, EMTs, firefighters, counselors, and nurses.
These people are the backbone of all that is good.
#moedchat
A1: Being a role model and providing opportunities for students to use the skills they are learning while helping them to understand the impact and power they can have in what they create. #MOedchat
A1: It also means being gentle with peers. Helping folks understand that digital mistakes aren't about being "in trouble", it's about learning a more effective way to do something. When we know better we do better. #MOedChat
A1 A good opportunity to model for students. Not only in showing them the right way to manage their digital identity, but also providing opportunities for them to put their digital skills into action. #moedchat
A1 b Like, giving students the opportunity to create a digital portfolio, connect with leaders in fields of interest, or empowering them to seek out new opportunities online. Stuff we don't always think about. #moedchat
I like to light-heartedly change things in their account if they don't sign off. It is a funny way to (hopefully) get them to realize the dangers of failure to sign off. #MOedchat
A1: Model, promote, and supervise digital safety for students and families. We need to educate Ss, Ts, and families while collaborating to build a digital footprint we can all be proud of #MOedChat
Helping students see the importance of signing out of devices and use strong passwords is a LEGIT skill that MANY adults also miss out! #MOedchat#DigCit
I do a lot more like that for repeat offenders. I agree that the laughter is better then yelling or punishments. I always tell them better I catch you than someone else with malicious intent. #MOedchat
Any time we can help students AND teachers see the importance of being positive and leaving a positive footprint online is super important! #MOedchat#DigCit
A1 leaving a responsible and positive footprint, that focuses on academic and behavioral growth. Using technology to tell our story and learn from others #moedchat
A1 I look at what @MrsMurat does with her HS students and @ElliePrimary1 with her 4 & 5 year olds and this to me is #digcit leaders -- working & learning side by side! #digcit#moedchat
Hello #MOedchat!! I'm Laura and I'm happy to be here with you!! Excited for this chat because digital citizenship is an important concept/mindset for adults to embrace, model, and teach for and with kids! #digcit I want to hear about the big #DIgCitWeekend in STL, too!!
I work with 5th graders every week that are shocked when I call them out for sticking their password on a post-it inside their Chromebook. I don't know how we can allow things like this! #moedchat
Wait, we're supposed to read those permissions BEFORE we accept them? 😜
I'm often guilty of not reading them all 100%, but I usually try to skim them. #MOedchat#DigCit
A2 A positive approach with empathy and risk vs a fear approach. #DigitalCitizenship is now a common word and focus for both teaching and learning. #digcit#MOedchat
Those are written to be too tough to read. I do read most of them, but it takes too much time. the permissions that an app asks though, need to be read. #MOedchat
A2: #digcit is now more about what we should do, how to make a difference, what we can do and where we can take the #digitalworld, it is the positive. The old was a lot of-no, don’t do, should not, beware. #MOedChat
A2: When I was a kid, I just knew to not try and cross the river. Now, students need to be educated on plagiarism, netiquette, social media, identity theft, passwords... the list goes on. Being a student now is rough. #moedchat
A2: There's so much to it now. I think one part that's emerging is the idea of healthy consumption habits. It's not just about what we do on the devices and what we post, but also how often we do it and this idea of monitoring our time online. #MOedChat
If you look UNDER almost any keyboard in ANY school across the globe and you'll probably find the teacher's passwords. Or just look on the sticky note attached to the screen. #MOedchat#DigCit
A2 Most people I work with think digcit is Cyberbullying and Copyright. Anything else goes in one ear and out their other. Those things are important, but not exhaustive. #moedchat
Now, to be fair, I do show their usernames on the projector for the littles as a method to help them remember them. Older kids though I write it down and then they throw it away once they leave. #MOedchat
A2: Another big shift is that I think we have to address #MediaLiteracy if we are going to claim to teach #DigCit at any level. They go hand in hand. #MOedChat
A2: When I was a kid, I just knew to not try and cross the river. Now, students need to be educated on plagiarism, netiquette, social media, identity theft, passwords... the list goes on. Being a student now is rough. #moedchat
Yeah, but we are a click-through culture. I feel like no one models taking time to read that stuff in front of students. I regularly here "just click Allow!" #moedchat
A2: More of the off campus online misbehavior bleeds into the school. Access and interaction is now instantaneous. Disruptions from social media shake up the culture of a school. #moedchat
A2 IMO we now focus more on social media and protecting ourselves from a variety of predators. There is more of a focus on the story we are telling. We also have to focus more on teaching students how to root out the reliable sources. #moedchat
A2: So is the "old" #digcit something like, "stop hogging the landline, I'm expected a call" said my parents! Insert fax machine noice here... #MOedchat
Wow, we just an all-time low here at #MOedchat central by taking a Baby Shark break. At least it wasn't a Caillou break. Heaven help us! #MOedchat#DigCit
A bit late. A2 Digital citizenship has progressed beyond making sure Ss were on the correct site. With 1:1 Chromebooks, it is a 24/7 concern. #MOedchat
On a further note, this is why I painfully spend the first 2-4 months with K students practicing signing in. No shortcuts or QR codes, just typing their usernames and passwords. It is a necessary skill #MOedchat
A2: I agree about click wraps and TOS and PP. Kids (and teachers) need a bigger understanding about what you're really doing when you just "check yes" on the box! #MOedChat
I really hate that we are going to QR codes with students. I feel like it's just giving in to not teaching them these IMPORTANT LIFE SKILLS because it's "kinda hard" for a few weeks. It's REGRESSIVE. #moedchat
A2: Focus on the power of our words, understanding of the lasting presence, how what we share can affect our lives in positive and negative ways, not merely copyright but media literacy as a whole. #MOedchat
I read through many for my #istestandards#istecert found it actually interesting. For educational platforms many are the same, then you find one that makes you think. Puts a lot of responsibility in the teacher #moedchat
OMG.... ROFL in our hotel. Trying to explain Caillou to @Henry_Platten & he brings up Baby Shark...and the dads start singing! @lars3eb YEP, that just happened! #MOedchat
CC @mbfxc@hbrown03
A2 The "old" way was much more gloom and doom and the fact it was based more on the "don'ts" where I see the "new" way being more positive and looking for finding ways to #UseTech4Good. #MOedchat#DigCit
Caillou is way better, I have learned so much about Canada through that show. Did you know, that in Canada, if you ask your neighbors to help, you can build your own house? #medialiteracy#seewhatididthere#moedchat

@cyberteacher, @Henry_Platten, @lars3eb, @mbfxc, @hbrown03
A2: Old #digcit was all about caution and warnings. It's awesome to see how innovative and creative pedagogical leaders have been able to move the debate on now to building sustainable solutions and communities #MOEdChat

Lol, yeah. Although I show my Ss a hundred other things they can do with the URL bar in Chrome these days. Omnibox is like an Omnivore -- it eats everything. #moedchat
A3 Model, Model, Model...take down the "no cell phones" signs! Participate in an #edchat or two and connect virtually to others. Open the four walls of your classroom to others. #digcit#MOedchat
Reading your tweet I see you spoke to both defense & offense in #digcit!
Defense--against predators, hacking, etc.
Offense-- to find info you need w/discernment & to create, connect, build, grow. Do we have a balanced #DigCit Offense & Defense gameplan w/kids, Ts, Ps? #MOedchat
A2 IMO we now focus more on social media and protecting ourselves from a variety of predators. There is more of a focus on the story we are telling. We also have to focus more on teaching students how to root out the reliable sources. #moedchat
A3 Focus on the positives and use SM as a way of connecting, not chastising or any of that other bologna, teach kids the right way to use their tools #moedchat

Wow, and I thought I was bad when I did #UTedChat back home. When I'm trying to do #MOedchat with these awesome folks it's anybody's guess what will happen. We've got @Henry_Platten making a @Spotify playlist that's unreal. So much fun though! @mbfxc@hbrown03@cyberteacher
A4 Take some time and get to know / build your #PLN so you can learn from others near and far. Invite others to participate in online discussions, chats, courses, events. Meet people & encourage them to follow & learn from others. #digcit#MOedchat
A4 Use it in a proactive way with parents. I always like the approach of starting classroom Facebook groups and sharing with parents -- show them positive interactions in digital spaces. #moedchat
A3 By modeling good #DigCit and allowing/trusting students to try their hand at it as well. But we have to have positive presumptions when dealing with students and online tools. #MOedchat#DigCit
Give them opportunities and then allow them the chance to be a kid and mess up. Remember, we often learn more from our mistakes so why shouldn't students be allowed that same courtesy. #MOedchat#DigCit
Here's something I struggle with, as far as elementary goes, how do you model it to those kids? Most don't have access to it, so we talk about good use, but can't let them experience it? Just use e-mail as the example? #moedchat
A4 I model good #DigCit by using tools appropriately and show them what's happening. I also show them when I've messed up and how I made it right. Students need to see it's okay to make mistakes and learn from them. #MOedchat#GrowthMindset
A5 There are a bunch of other Josh Howards, so I am pretty safe. No one is confusing me with the guy who played power forward for the Dallas Mavericks. #moedchat
A5 When I got the #makingithappen award from @metc and @iste I was like the 5th picture, since then it is filled up with weird stuff and a male model, so I guess you could say I'm doing pretty good. #moedchat
But I'm also lucky because my "dumb kid years" happened before social media was so ubiquitous. We definitely need to make sure that our Ss control their digital footprint and are aware of what happens when they google themselves. #MOedchat
Yeah there seem to be a whole bunch of separate side chats going on tonight. Y'all really should do whatever it takes to get to some of the #DigCitWeekend events. #DigCitDay and #DigCitSummit will be rockin! #MOedchat#DigCit

We are the "in-between" generation trying to figure out how to help our elders be safe and our youngin's be safe from two different experiences (if that makes any sense at all, it's been a long week, I turned 34 a couple days ago, so I'm old now) #moedchat
A5 I just did again and there are SO many Derek Larson's that I barely show up. But if I search for J Derek Larson then you see a little more, but still, there are LOTS of J Derek Larson's as well. #MOedchat#DigCit
Have you considered class accounts where the students run the accounts for the day as a class job? I've done it and I know @TopDogTeaching is a pro at it too! You've gotta try it. But be sure to go over proper procedures and protocols. #MOedchat#DigCit
I agree. I always thought my name was different and special and then I realized how not unique it really is. But it's okay because I know I'm a unique person and that's all good. I'm the only @lars3eb out there, or at least I think I am. #MOedchat#DigCit
We have social media teams that run accounts. Our Middle School tech interns use the hashtag #teentweet to show off SM usage. Completely student run. #moedchat

@awall777, @lars3eb, @GeoJo22, @TopDogTeaching
Oh yeah, I'd totally have them find ways to practice. But I always made sure the parents were given LOTS of instruction as to what we were doing so they didn't come back and act all scared. Letting students practice #DigCit in a safe place is crucial! #MOedchat
So many amazing #digcit resources but absolutely love @joinbubble for the under 13 crowd: https://t.co/QpKK4XiIbR especially love that the likes are about what you give not what you receive! #moedchat
I have a faculty meeting tomorrow that will show off the single greatest #oneword pump up video ever created, so I need to head off to bed. Thanks for the great conversation and don't forget about tonight's #moedchatchallenge! #MOedchat
