Q1A. Define “digitized citizenship”. #edtechbridge

StacyHaw Mar 22 @ 7:11 PM EDT

We live in world where the Space Shuttle is outdated tech and we still struggling to get #edtech integrated in classes. #edtechbridge

JeremyDBond Mar 22 @ 7:11 PM EDT

A1A) Hm, is this different from digital citizenship? That's good citizenship practices in a digital world. #edtechbridge

MomOfAllCapes Mar 22 @ 7:10 PM EDT

Q1A: Define "digitized citizenship". #EdtechBridge

KamiSchools Mar 22 @ 7:11 PM EDT

Hello #EdtechBridge! Kami from New Zealand checking in! I recently gave gov. Deals office a call to protest HB 159!

davidjohnolson Mar 22 @ 7:12 PM EDT

A1A: "Dig Citizenship" is abt enhancing our community and world connections through tech. It should make connection. #EdtechBridge

MrsMurat Mar 22 @ 7:12 PM EDT

#EdtechBridge A1: a digitized Citizen is one that has a high level of efficacy and engages digitally. Often more involved.

icivics Mar 22 @ 7:12 PM EDT

A1A: "Digitized Citizenship" is taking civic action to digital platforms or participating via digital means. #edtechbridge

MomOfAllCapes Mar 22 @ 7:13 PM EDT

Good observation @JeremyDBond... A bit different than Digital Citizenship... Civic participation that's gone digital... #EdtechBridge

In reply to @JeremyDBond

MsFurnas Mar 22 @ 7:13 PM EDT

A1: Digitized Citizenship is a our responsibility to be informed about our gov's actions/intent & to have access to our reps. #EdtechBridge

MomOfAllCapes Mar 22 @ 7:13 PM EDT

Love this definition! #EdtechBridge

A1A: Using your tech to take civic action for yourself or to give a voice to folks without that technology link. #edtechbridge

MrsMurat Mar 22 @ 7:15 PM EDT

#EdtechBridge I think this type of engagement will become the norm. More access this way. One way tech has transformed our lives.

MomOfAllCapes Mar 22 @ 7:15 PM EDT

Q1B: Who are the stakeholders responsible for making your definition work well? #EdtechBridge

MomOfAllCapes Mar 22 @ 7:15 PM EDT

Great definition! Love the RESPONSIBILITY part. #EdtechBridge

MsFurnas Mar 22 @ 7:13 PM EDT

A1: Digitized Citizenship is a our responsibility to be informed about our gov's actions/intent & to have access to our reps. #EdtechBridge

Tdavis0410 Mar 22 @ 7:15 PM EDT

A1A: Citizenship connects to rights and responsibilities, right? I'm thinking there's a set for the digital world too #edtechbridge

KamiSchools Mar 22 @ 7:16 PM EDT

A1a: taking advantage of tech for civic usage, e.g. @codeforamerica does a great job of bridging public + private #EdtechBridge

In reply to @codeforamerica

JeremyDBond Mar 22 @ 7:16 PM EDT

Then digitized citizenship is a bridge all right. Best of both worlds! #edtechbridge

amybrowns Mar 22 @ 7:17 PM EDT

Ohhhh digitized citizenship!! I like! #edtechbridge

icivics Mar 22 @ 7:17 PM EDT

A1B: Our stakeholders include teachers, our curriculum team, local school board, policy makers. #edtechbridge

GatorCitizen Mar 22 @ 7:17 PM EDT

Q1A: Digitized Citizenship is citizenship that takes full advantage of the old and the new for positive change #edtechbridge

A1B Facebook's got to change their algorithm so that people don't have a false sense of security! #edtechbridge

A1B: Users . . . Oh so many users. They compound in effects #edtechbridge

HarashoEdTech Mar 22 @ 7:19 PM EDT

A1B: Tech users, a receptive government (heh), and educators and parents. Gotta model that positive civic behavior! #edtechbridge

MomOfAllCapes Mar 22 @ 7:19 PM EDT

Love this definition because we can't just erase "old" ways to move forward. If it ain't broke... #EdtechBridge

CivicYouth Mar 22 @ 7:20 PM EDT

#EdTechBridge https://t.co/ixXzH8IRqe

CivicYouth Mar 22 @ 7:18 PM EDT

A1B: stakeholders: in our research, we see friends, family, #medialiteracy progs & media orgs influencing on youth online civic behaviors

MsFurnas Mar 22 @ 7:20 PM EDT

A1b: Need reliable, vigilant media outlets, a population willing to demand transparency & be involved. #EdtechBridge

JeremyDBond Mar 22 @ 7:21 PM EDT

more involved than those not connected digitally? #edtechbridge

MrsMurat Mar 22 @ 7:20 PM EDT

#EdtechBridge A1B.. every single one of us!

MrsMurat Mar 22 @ 7:21 PM EDT

#EdtechBridge A2: critical thinking, checking sources and accuracy of information. Media Literacy 101!

davidjohnolson Mar 22 @ 7:22 PM EDT

A2A: Misinformation is major challenge. We need to expose Ss to dissonant information. They-and we-can't stay in our silos #edtechbridge

KamiSchools Mar 22 @ 7:22 PM EDT

A1b: I think its important for more companies take responsibility e.g. Google + and the rise of fake news #EdtechBridge

icivics Mar 22 @ 7:22 PM EDT

A2A: Access to quality infrastructure to support digitized learning. Closing that #digitalDivide! #edtechbridge

Making change is still first and foremost about people and relationships. Tech is a means. @MomOfAllCapes #edtechbridge

In reply to @MomOfAllCapes

icivics Mar 22 @ 7:23 PM EDT

A2A: Other challenges include access to devices and teacher adoption to new tech... #edtechbridge

HarashoEdTech Mar 22 @ 7:23 PM EDT

A2A: Absolutely access (coming from a state that's still lagging some in that area). And like @MrsMurat said, media literacy! #edtechbridge

In reply to @MrsMurat

CivicYouth Mar 22 @ 7:23 PM EDT

A2a: research shows that social norms can be influential in civic life. Think we have norms online re: civic life/ politics? #EdTechBridge

MrsMurat Mar 22 @ 7:23 PM EDT

for most (not all). I might be able to attend 1 rally, but I can fire off a littany of tweets, emails etc quickly #edtechbridge

In reply to @JeremyDBond

MomOfAllCapes Mar 22 @ 7:24 PM EDT

YES. YES. YES. #EdtechBridge

MsFurnas Mar 22 @ 7:20 PM EDT

In reply to @davidjohnolson

CivicYouth Mar 22 @ 7:26 PM EDT

A2a: Also, #EdTechBridge, let's be real, there are people who look down in online learning, organizing, etc.

JeremyDBond Mar 22 @ 7:26 PM EDT

A2A) Adults resist change and aren't always encouraging to kids who rock the boat. They also harbor negative views of tech. #edtechbridge

#EdtechBridge A2B any platform that your representative or Senator is on. Meet then where they are. Flood their feeds!

davidjohnolson Mar 22 @ 7:27 PM EDT

A2B: Ways of finding gov't info need to get better. Understanding content/context of bills/resolutions needs help #edtechbridge

MomOfAllCapes Mar 22 @ 7:27 PM EDT

This is really important. Anonymity = courage-juice. Maybe there's a way we can make anonymity a positive thing... #EdtechBridge

davidjohnolson Mar 22 @ 7:32 PM EDT

A3A: It's THE mode of connection. Ask your Ss where they get news or connect. Social Media is not A place-it's the ONLY place #EdtechBridge

MrsMurat Mar 22 @ 7:32 PM EDT

#EdtechBridge SM does give us 24/7/365 access.. However..If you wouldn't say it F2F if you met them, don't say it online.

A3a: data on #Millennials suggests that they get news about current events online a lot more than other age groups #EdTechBridge

#edtechbridge media literacy is 100% of it. Have to figure out what is accurate before responding and acting.

#edtechbridge A3a.1 Consider the humane aspect before posting or engaging in posts. Don't rush 2 B the first 2 post. T.H.I.N.K

Tdavis0410 Mar 22 @ 7:36 PM EDT

A3B: #medialiteracy Without it, how do you know what's what? #edtechbridge

davidjohnolson Mar 22 @ 7:37 PM EDT

A3B: It means more than ever! Ss must be taught how to distinguish between sources and assess quality. SHEG has a great lesson #EdtechBridge

MrsMurat Mar 22 @ 7:37 PM EDT

#edtechbridge also must be diligent in not spreading rumors, innuendo or false information. Think critically. Be part of the solution.

CivicYouth Mar 22 @ 7:37 PM EDT

A3a: during the elxn, a big group of youth were reluctant to post about politics online bc they didn't want to "create drama" #EdTechBridge

MomOfAllCapes Mar 22 @ 7:37 PM EDT

Agreed. #EdtechBridge
