Students can easily communicate with students in other parts of the world who are directly impacted by issues

no problem! I love Ted talks 👍🏽

Hi Jenny. Thanks for joining

Yay! Hi Jenny. You made it! Hope your school year is going well.

With the same tools they use everyday
-
A1 not only is global citizenship teachable, it is essential.
-
I agree.With the expansion of social media, your are influencing people, you decide to make it positive or negative.
-
A1: Yes, we need to give students an opportunity to explore other cultures and break down barriers that exist through interaction
-
I guess the question is how we can shift mindsets to make THIS the priority.
-
A1: Yes, very, assuming kids have exposure and allowed to engage. Need time to practice & engage. https://t.co/FQSuYPIleP
-
A1 although there are regional/cultural differences; there are certain core values (i.e. Respect) that are global/universal

Know the story know the person ;-)

-
A1 although there are regional/cultural differences; there are certain core values (i.e. Respect) that are global/universal
-
Yes, going beyond generic social norms with purpose, actions have impact
-
The concept of global citizenship has coincided with this particular moment in which we are privileged to live.
-
we're talking global community but even connecting me in ONT Canada to someone in BC for ex.
-
A1 similar to the seatbelt movement; get children to comply then adults follow out of pressure from the younger generation
-
worked for recycling too ;-)
-
A2 we adjust with an open mind. And in some ways allowing the students to lead us.
-
A2 schools are more than brick & mortar; they are community hubs; in a digital age,schools are still hubs no matter the geography
-
TED_ED: Q2 coming up in a moment!
-
TED_ED: Q2 Communities now extend beyond a school's local physical geography. How do we adjust? https://t.co/D20uwUHyo6 …
-
A2 We need to leverage technology to show students the networking and community building powers of social media posts
-
A2: By equipping schools with infrastructure and policy to take advantage of the doors this will open for Ed.🖖
-
A2: Teach Ss how to make a positive impact through creating digital leaders. They are in charge of their digital footprint
-
A1 Yes! Esp. thru foreign language classes. Students can get involved in local community, relate that learning to global context
-
A2: We use Social Media to help tell stories to connect us all. We focus on the positives, to empower, to dream, to make a mark.
-
A2 Global citizen does come with greater responsibility and awareness - digital citizen ed.n is crucial too
-
A1 Ts, Ss , & stakeholders must realize & embrace we are all part of a larger global community & see as opp to extend resources
-
What a great idea! https://t.co/PkfvupfR9P
-
-
A1 Yes! Esp. thru foreign language classes. Students can get involved in local community, relate that learning to global context
-
students generate ideas of what they would like to learn on a global level, allow them to find the connections
-
A2 I think Ss and Ts are looking to connect with something bigger, but often don't know how. Service=value, finding meaning
-
Yes! I even like the term 'digital tattoo' more than 'digital footprint'
-
A2 I think we all want more. Ss are able to access more than ever, with support and guidance.
-
A2: Network with schools across the globe through Twitter, social media, TED Ed Clubs
-
good point on teaching the responsibility that comes with this.
-
A2: Love this! via 8 digital life skills all children need – and a plan for teaching them https://t.co/mnssUA504b via
-
A1 it MUST be taught, global citizenship should strengthen education as a way to have a more peaceful, sustainable world

A2 we adjust with an open mind. And in some ways allowing the students to lead us.
-
I gotta sign out. Sorry to chat and run, date night with wife. Will try to jump back in for last question. Thanks all!
-
Digital citizenship, social literacy and media literacy are all key components
-
A2 learning can take place anywhere@anytime;schools are no longer the only place for info;Schools need to be guides to good info
-
Also creates interesting problem solving. A lot of cultural norms to evaluate in decision making
-
Really can't have one without the other "With great power comes great responsibility" https://t.co/TY7113TnIK
-
-
good point on teaching the responsibility that comes with this.
-
solving problems globally a bit more challenging than locally. Much to consider that Ss don't know or think about
-
This is a really important point. Schools need to be at the forefront of this, but how can we keep up?
-
-
-
a professional network and chats like this are a good start. Be in the conversation, be connected
-
We should have students joining these chats so they can understand the social in social media
-
Think of it as a triangle, media literacy, , Social Literacy
-
Teach Ss how to use social media to expand their horizons. Digital citizenry has no boundaries
-
Social norms evolve daily, it's so new that it's hard to track
-
Teachers should serve as role models for appropriate social media interaction
-
like a river guide,know the river but each time it will be different;set destination,direct the crew;work from within
-
Yes! Love the idea. Social literacy = Character. Is that your definition?
-
Ss use it to socialize with friends so why not inspire them to socialize with the world?
-
Yes! Should be part of our role as educators
-
Absolutely! If Ss don't have models they have no one to look up to
-
-
-
-
True, are we to the point digital citizenship, it actually just citizenship
-
Yes, one of the most important, if not the most important, aspect of teaching
-
-
Essentially yes, offline life/behavioral norms. Step 2: connect online life to offline life
-
Q3 Should schools be expected to teach students an enlightened and productive use of social media? https://t.co/RYPm7lhqe9
-
Have to hop in the car, but it was fun chatting with everyone!
-
Q3 This is about student citizens taking action
-
it's blending, but I think it still has it's own rules for engagement
-
The goal is to level up, digital leadership: activism, empowerment, sharing of knowledge
-
-
-
TED_ED: Q3 Should schools be expected to teach students an enlightened and productive use of social media? …
-
A3: 100% Yes. My fear is that everyone assumes someone else will teach it when every T needs to empower Ss on this.
-
Social media is increasingly used to assess an applicant's character for college & employment
-
A2: Yes! I hear too often from Ts "Ss know tech, just let them use it" and it's not true. Always a top 1%, it's not everyone
-
A3: it should be embedded into the curriculum as a part of all lessons
-
Is there a source or data you can point me towards. I'd love to share with Ss, Ts, Ps
-
A3: Yes, why wouldn't we as educators use the tools students are so immersed in to grab their attention and get them involved?
-
Just because students are heavy tech users doesn't mean they understand tech. It's a learned skill https://t.co/zTEJJYFgCM
-
-
A2: Yes! I hear too often from Ts "Ss know tech, just let them use it" and it's not true. Always a top 1%, it's not everyone
-
yep, and no one believes it till it happens to them.
-
A3 Ss know how to productively use social media; Ss need direction in how to use it well; in a + rather than a - manner
-
A3 If we are truly going to prepare students for college & career we have to prepare all aspects of dig lit including soc med
-
I agree! Sometimes we are so involved in our subject areas and how we have done things in the past,we forget to change!
-
I ask Ss, which one is the real you? The one online or offline? It should be the same person
-
A3: Yes! Ss ❤️social media and if that power is harnessed by Ts their global impact can be & will be unstoppable!
-
A3 It takes role modeling and know-how to lead the way for students to envision themselves as global citizens. It must be taught
-
A3 Ss know more about how to use social media but lack guidance;We can provide direction to help steer them to productive areas
-
I know has some good stuff. I reference social intelligence (app). Love book LOL OMG ...
-
Very well said and case closed!
-
Every year a student loses a scholarship to social media posts, watch the news feeds
-
Big hurdle to overcome. It's a balance approach to suggest to Ts why they need to be aware of this way of learning.
-
Thanks Matt https://t.co/XDIpgLlLOA
-
-
Every year a student loses a scholarship to social media posts, watch the news feeds
-
true many college remove Ss from being admitted because of their negative online manners
-
I just saw a video of bullying going viral among Ps in South America. Over 11K shares.
-
be aware, and biggest challenge, change how we teach. That is hard to do for anyone
-
Back to my other theory, for Ss, which one is the real you? Online you or offline you?
-
A3 Yes. Students are so connected, but don't always understand the power this gives them. We have much to learn from each other.
-
Some Ts afraid if Ss are empowered to learn on their terms it might disrupt their power structures https://t.co/6JahmC3isB
-
-
A3: Yes, why wouldn't we as educators use the tools students are so immersed in to grab their attention and get them involved?
-
You may be the answer I've been looking for! Thanks! I will give this a thorough look soon!
-
for some educators it is a big jump and often the issue is keeping students in an appropriate/safe online environment
-
-
negative media will always attract ppl; more sensational/immediate than positive posts
-
A3
Short answer - Yes.
Long answer - Oh, Yes!
https://t.co/9B9qR9zAsD

TED_ED: Q3 Should schools be expected to teach students an enlightened and productive use of social media? …
-
When students see the higher calling & purpose of social media, they become better digital citizens https://t.co/NfIwEqUPoW
-
-
for some educators it is a big jump and often the issue is keeping students in an appropriate/safe online environment
-
Yes, understandable. Does a school have to make it a top priority in order to stress its importance thru PD?
-
Who needs 140 characters? LOL
-
ku both online &I offline-one is an extension of the other;similar to Id, ego &super-ego
-
-
Hi Curran! Finally a true
-
Yes, when social media becomes interactive. When online interactions have positive online/offline reactions
-
Yes, but when you change how you teach, it's such a good feeling because you know it's right.
-
Indeed! I would say great modelling by their educators and role models could really help too.
-
I'm not just tweeting/posting, I'm connecting and things are happening. This has value
-
-
-
-
The potential audience for students is so much larger than their circle of friends https://t.co/SlUb2RHeEm

-
I'm not just tweeting/posting, I'm connecting and things are happening. This has value
-
Q4 How can educators incorporate social media into the classroom to demonstrate the global citizenship? https://t.co/Ui3PKdgZGX
-
Imagine an army of millions growing into tens of millions, connected, informed, engaged and unwilling to take no for an answer.
-
which makes impact and reach greater when it is connected with action
-
lol - Brief tweets rarely happen for me. But I'm working on it. https://t.co/hzcqJ3GTZY
-
-
Who needs 140 characters? LOL
-
true, which is why we need to train Ss how to respond to negativity to combat effects
-
reality TV would not exist if people didn't like drama.
-
A4. You helped me to imagine that Hugh Evans! And, to inspire me and all ages around the world that they can... bravo!
-
A4:Love what our T is doing by giving MS & HS Ss practice using SM to build campaigns on social/emotional topics.
-
check out - doing great stuff to with Ss around negativity online
-
A4 Using MysterySkype & https://t.co/aJ6acJOPdc Ts can expose Ss to different cultures; showing similarities in each other

Global Read Aloud & blogging too
-
This is a really good point! Yes, we can embrace both. Our ES Ss still get 3 recesses & are off tech.
-
-
-
A4: engage daily, create campaigns together and then expand. In MO, two Ss started as a kindness challenge 4 school
-
A3 not exclusively in order to be truly global there should b a home-school collaboration engage parents https://t.co/w6jtbDXbvg
-
-
Q3 Should schools be expected to teach students an enlightened and productive use of social media? https://t.co/RYPm7lhqe9
-
-
A4 Students must first understand on social media they're never anonymous, their posts won't disappear and they're never private.
-
Parent engagement is a must as both Ps and Ts need to role model
-
-
A4: give Ss freedom & incorporate soc. media into class. Example: slowchats, video creation, shared experiences via social media
-
-
That is an essential lesson that must be reinforced continually! So important!
-
A4 Engage Ss there first, share campaigns, create together (model) and then build from there. So many great examples
-
Don't forget to include elementary student voices too. We have a lot to say https://t.co/WbB5KBu73u
-
-
A4: give Ss freedom & incorporate soc. media into class. Example: slowchats, video creation, shared experiences via social media

A4? Ss Qs are;
a) authentic
b) offer insight into engagement and understandings
c) worth encouraging

check out Bristow Compliments on and Humans of Loara. All student run
-
this is what we use for our PD with . Visuals help to show the differentiation
-
-
If we don't educate them on these essential elements of social media, we aren't serving them very well. https://t.co/5kj5DB3XnC
-
-
I think this is what unnerves educators about involvement with social media in the classroom-need to protect students
-
Instead of just protecting, lets empower. Ss as part of the solution and not victims
-
Social media is here to stay & will play an important role for all students. We need to teach productive social media use
