Getting Started...
As the digital world continues to evolve, technology plays an increasingly important role in our lives—both inside and outside the classroom. The evolution toward a digital society requires the defining of digital citizens and their roles, rights, and responsibilities.The resources in the following lessons are a starting point for those wanting to move toward a digital classroom. As schools, communities, and the tools they use evolve, so must the types of literacies, understandings, rules, policies, and procedures they use to learn, work, and live.
Technology has made learning more accessible, more interactive, and more collaborative. In order for educators to model digital citizenship skills for students, they should understand it comprehensively themselves.
I will be putting many resources along the way help you learn and teach our students about digital citizenship.
