Do all students have the opportunity to be involved in digital society? 2. Digital Commerce: Are students aware of opportunities as well as problems associated with purchasing items using digital technology? Should students be made more aware of how to purchase goods and services through digital formats? 3. Digital Communication: Do I use email, cell phones, texting, and social networking technologies appropriately when communicating with others? What rules, options, and etiquette do students need to be aware of when using digital communication technologies? 4. Digital Literacy: Is enough time devoted to learning how to use technology tools in the classroom? How can students use digital technologies to take best advantage of the educational opportunities available to them? 5. Digital Etiquette: Are students aware of others when they use technology? Do students realize how their use affects others? 6. Digital Law: Are students using technology the way it was intended? Are students infringing on others’ rights by the way they use technology? Should students using digital technologies be accountable for how they use digital technologies? 7. Digital Rights & Responsibilities: What rights and responsibilities do students have in a digital society? How do we make students more aware of their rights and responsibilities when using digital technologies? 8. Digital Health & Wellness: How can students be physically affected by technology?

- 13. I.M.H.O… School librarians and library staff have such a unique opportunity to connect with a school community. One of the benefits of working in a school library is being beloved because you make it your business to know your students’ hearts and minds so you can find them a book they love or that information they need. Also, you are often one of the few adults who interact regularly and consistently with all students all the time they attend your school. That means you can offer continuity, consistency and trust. Leverage that role. Become someone who embraces technology and shares a love for learning new, cool and ultimately powerful things while helping students explore what it means to behave ethically and responsibly in this brave, new world. If you can do that well, you will be a rock star. Approach the future with hope and imagination. Swim in the deep-end. Don’t dwell on how much you do and do not know about technology. Practice and teach caution, wisdom and discernment. Behave like you expect students not be bullies or victims but smart, savvy users of technology. Ask your students to help you learn about their world. Talk about right and wrong on-line. Model the kind of student you want them to be. Thank you for listening and sharing today and have an amazing school year! Library Summer Camp 2012
Editor's Notes
- Digital Citizenship is where technology meets character education. You cannot discuss 21st Century Education without considering the impact technology is having on lives and learning. The next few years education may very well be unrecognizable to many of us but what is certain is that we want students to use technology wisely, safely and ethically. We can have these discussions on-line and off-line but first we have to make peace with the inevitable and carry on.
- When you hear the words Digital Citizenship, what do you think?
- State law requires that it is taught in the classroom.
- The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) in their National Education Technology Standards dedicates one of it’s standards to the topic.
- Our own California Model School Library Standards for K12 require students to demonstrate ethical behavior digitally and it brings part of the responsibility into the school library.
- How do we teach Digital Citizenship?
- Digital Citizenship is far more than cybersafety. Mike Ribble developed nine themes of digital citizenship that help educators and parents understand the comprehensive nature of digital citizenship and provide guidance in approaching how to teach lessons. School libraries and library staff should have an understanding of these issues in order to guide students in their research and use of information.
- Ribble then categorizes the nine elements into three “teachable” areas called “REP” (Respect, Educate and Protect). Now you have a framework to develop a well-rounded unit on Digital Citizenship.
- The nine elements and three concepts provide the foundation for our curriculum. Now we can plug in lessons that address each element. I am going to give nine examples of ways you can introduce these topics in your library or classroom. The ages vary. These sources often have many other lessons and ideas for all grades and stages.
- Just other great resources to explore. We can look at some if there is still time.
