Jumping in late - Jeff Herb, Middle School Principal and blogger - love this chat!
That's deep but I like it. I'm going to be curious as we move on to hear more about the how. :)
A1: Being responsible members of online/digital communities. Incl. production & consumption of digital communication
Oh yes...so important and necessary!
Q2: Why do you think digital citizenship is important? And...does it matter to our students? https://t.co/2XlyZozlLg
A1: contributing to the Internet in a positive way. Understanding privacy. Recognizing scams. Being a good searcher
A2: what you put online follows you forever, it's important to make good decisions when posting and contributing online
A1: Digital Citizenship is your productive membership of a digital society. Positive interaction with today's digital tools.
Yes...and the how we get kids to see that is important!
Q2: Digital citizenship is important b/c students don't differentiate between their online and offline selves.
A2: Students are so absorbed in technology daily. They should learn how to use it appropriately and responsibly
A2: Continued...News stories come out everyday of people losing opportunities in life due to poor online posts
Hello! Welcome to our small but mighty chat for new and pre-service teachers!
A2: D.C. is very imp. to students esp. when it comes to social media etiquette. It can protect them.
A2: Because our digital reputation goes before us, opening or closing doors in our future. Plus, wrong is wrong, offline or online.
Oh yes!! And great to have you stop by Jeff!! https://t.co/2OkMQkjUOb
A1: Digital Citizenship is your productive membership of a digital society. Positive interaction with today's digital tools.
A2: Just bc ur interacting w/ ppl, info, etc behind a screen doesn't mean you can't/shouldn't be held accountable for actions.
Such a good reflection! I think you are really on to something. Could have a whole chat just on that! https://t.co/8RbIjJc5gW
Q2: Digital citizenship is important b/c students don't differentiate between their online and offline selves.
Yes and is it our job to ensure that they do? Some would argue it's not. So interesting!
A2: adults get angry when kids mess up online, but you can't blame them if they've never been taught.
I love the image you draw there...so powerful and so true.
Amen. We must ask ourselves: Are we the same person IRL as we are online? https://t.co/4zMJyFBPyv
A2: Because our digital reputation goes before us, opening or closing doors in our future. Plus, wrong is wrong, offline or online.

Only 15 minutes until we start - Discussing classroom management in the 21st Century classroom
Love the idea of finding positive examples for Ss
A3: I should start showing more positive examples of DC. I tend to just show "how not to" examples in class. Will work on that!
I ask students to be sure to address emails properly--small but simple place to start
A3: Twist on "google yourself" is "What can you find out about your classmate online?" Opportunity to demonstrate DigCit skills.
Use this activity as a launching point 4 Ss to discuss whether the story they find is positive, negative, or neutral
Yes! If we keep focusing on the sensationalistic negative stories, kids will tune out and disengage :( https://t.co/zbgNmuhI0E

Same as in life, people do what they know. Have to instill a sense of worthand curiosity to avoid bad habits https://t.co/5j4l601iCR
I find many students start checking out their parents digital footprint as well.
A4: not something currently doing well. not had parent buy in on education. BUT tons of Ps are following our FB page now 👌🏻

fill the void by sharing out positivity
Yes... except they are already doing it :-)
You pointed out how deep it was... :-)
A4: I have done workshops for parents on this topic and sadly they seem clueless AND hungry for knowledge.
A5: Get them to come to a parent event so you can allay their fears and walk them through resources
A4 After students create digital portfolios on their dig cit learning, hold a parent night so they can share what they learned
YES!! There you go. This is what I did for parents in a community org that I was a part of. They really enjoyed it.
Great ideas deserve sharing. That's why I cite you and Justin in my research ;-)
yes...invite parents in! Let them be engaged and a part of the learning! https://t.co/G2cIAckwTm
