Teaching Digital Citizenship starts at an early age and needs continual
reinforcement.
Digital citizenship is defined as the norms of appropriate,
responsible behavior with regard to technology use.
What is Digital Citizenship? Digital Citizenship is more than just a
teaching tool; it is a way to prepare students/technology users for a society full of technology.
Too often we are seeing students as well as adults misusing and abusing technology (sometimes unknowingly).
Teaching Digital Citizenship starts at an early age and needs continual
reinforcement.

Today’s digital world is considerably different than the world we grew up in and went to school in
While our students are tech savy and tech literate…they are still young and lack an adult perspective on safety, responsibility and general citizenship
But make no mistake – This generation is highly connected to the digital world
Today’s Digital World
Our Students Are Digital NativesOur students are learning to
• Communicate• Construct• Create• Collaborate
…using online digital technologies…even without our help

Canadians Lead ? When it comes to watching online
video, as with hockey, Canada is a world leader. Seventy-one per cent of Canadian Internet users, or 17.6 million people, visit YouTube every month, according comScore, a company that specializes in measuring digital activity.

Canadians Lead ? And the growth isn't limited to YouTube, he said.
Canadian broadcasters, such as CBC, CTV and Global have seen steady growth in the number of people watching their content online, according to comScore's analysis.
Canada has also long been known as the world's top Facebook nation with 83.1 per cent of the online population on the popular social-networking site.
More Canadians have also mastered the 140-character tweet than Americans, with 13.7 per cent on Twitter monthly compared to 11.3 per cent in the U.S.
Canadians Lead ? Canadians between the ages of 25 and 34 watch
338 minutes a month, those aged 35 to 54 watch 297 minutes and people over 55 spend 155 minutes passing time on YouTube.
As for our national obsession with hockey, online video is feeding it.
NHL.com is one of the most visited websites in Canada
While students and teachers alike are anxious to integrate new learning tools into the classroom, we must err on the side of caution. It is our responsibility to empower our students by giving them the fundamental lessons in digital citizenship.

We don’t have to teach our students to be 21st Century
Learners….

Technology Engages Students
We want our students to see these as digital tools that will help them:• collaborate more….• tools that will help them create new
knowledge…..• tools that will help them with inquiry based
learning….• tools that will help them create questions
We want our students to learn how to use these new media tools, rather than these tools using them
As Educators We Need To:• demonstrate and discuss ways to be safe
online• become FACILITATORS of learning• let our students teach US how to use these
tools • shift the control of the learning
environment

Our World Today We have young minds operating in a highly
connected world, yet they do not have a high developed sense of risk and responsibility
Our students need to understand that online choices have offline consequences
To help guide them as adults, we need to develop a deeper understanding of the digitally connected world and what it means to be good digital citizens
The new Internet is referred to as Web 2.0 – the interactive web
Online Actions Have Offline Consequences
What We Do Know! The Internet is not another world – it’s just
another space where kids live their daily lives.
For students, technology is not special … …it just is.
Kids are social by nature and today’s kid’s have multiple options to connect with their peers and others.
Friends are always accessible through e-mail, instant messaging, blogs, multiplayer games and cell phones

What We Do Know! Digital Citizenship will be constantly
changing with the times as new tools are developed and used.
As within any society, we need a structure which people need to honor so that we are respectful to each other.
When contemplating how the world has
changed, Technology is often cited as the
reason why things have changed
“In reality technology alone cannot create change. Change is created by people who
understand that technology is a tool to further their own personal or organizational advantage.” – Everette Surgenor, 1992Chan

But for 21st Century Kids, technology is more than a tool….it is an essential component of everyday life that frames their social world
view. For them, being digitally connected is as natural as speaking is to us.

Texting has become the preferred method of communication, how does this change interpersonal communication.
Cell phones can be a major distraction in class but some phones allow access to applications and Internet access that could improve learning.
How do we teach communication methods in a digital society?
Digital Communicationdefinition: the electronic exchange of information
Awareness of Cyberbullying
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbFfrmmaads&feature=channel
Appropriate vs Inappropriate Digital Communication
We need to partner with parents to teach responsible online behaviour.
Think about your online image for example.• Who will see it?• What should never be posted online?
After it is posted online, it is virtually impossible to remove.
The more information you share about yourself, the more that is available.
Have you ever “googled” yourself? There are emerging online programs that allow you to
reduce your online presence (Cyber-Suicide) and have others check your online presence (ie. Credit Check)
Digital EtiquetteDefinition: The standard of conduct expected by other digital technology users.
Moderate Use of Technology Balance in Lifestyle Proper Communication – when to use
email, phone, or in-person Examples:
• Carpel Tunnel Syndrome• Eyestrain, poor posture• Internet addiction
Digital Health and WellnessThe elements of physical and psychological well-being related to digital technology use.

Students need to learn how to protect their data.• Virus protection software (important –
SSDZ)• Firewalls• Backups• Password- protecting, not sharing, changing,
different passwords for different interactions.
• Https sites vs non-secure
Digital SecurityThe precautions that all technology users must take to guarantee their personal
safety of their network.

They Need to be Good Digital Citizens
Today’s digital world is considerably different
than the world most of our teachers grew up
and went to school in
Technology tools are the contemporary tools of literacy, yet for many of our teachers both
the tools and the environments that they enable are foreign

Yet these are essential tools and learning
environments in the 21st Century
To help guide students wisely, as teachers we need to develop a deeper understanding of the digitally connected world and what it means to be good digital citizens
What Is Digital Citizenship?Digital citizenship is more than basic online safety, it is living, working, and playing safely, civilly, and effectively in our increasingly digital world.
The focus here is that students are not where they need to be with the skills encompassed in digital citizenship. It is a process and cannot just be taught by one teacher one time and expect retention.
It must permeate all subjects in all grade levels just like literacy, for increasingly it is literacy
The best offense always begins with a solid defense.
Educate, before you integrate.
It’s Your Turn Now….
As educators and school leaders what will be your plan or
approach to accomplish this in your school?
