Digital Citizenship Reflection
- 1. DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP AN EVOLUT ION IN ETHICAL BEHAVIOR
- 2. AN AWAKENING At the beginning of the term I was aware of the importance of ethical citizenship. However, I hadn’t considered how this citizenship would translate into the digital world that students of this generation are immersed in. Through the exploration of technology throughout the term, I gained valuable knowledge about how to encourage ethical digital citizenship in the classroom.

- 3. DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP • “Digital citizenship can be defined as the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use” (InforMNs, 2013) Digital citizenship seems like a simple concept when defined this way. However, there are many layers and components to ethical digital behavior. When you “peel back” the layers of digital citizenship, the concept is more complex than it first appears… References: InforMNs. (2013).

- 4. COMPONENTS OF DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP Some components of Digital Citizenship that I learned about this term were: • Digital Etiquette • Cyberbullying • Digital Law and Copyright just to name a few…
- 5. DIGITAL ETIQUETTE Online etiquette is based on the premise of the golden rule: “treat others the way you wish to be treated” (Digital Citizenship: Are You A Digital Citizen) Teachers can help students to develop etiquette online by modeling appropriate behavior with technology in the classroom (Digital Citizenship: Are You A Digital Citizen) Retrieved from: http://bitsofpositivity.com/2012/08/10/golden-rule- for-back-to-school/ References: Digital Citizenship: Are You a Digital Citizen. Retrieved from: http://areyouadigitalcitizen.weebly.com/digital-etiquette.html
- 6. ETIQUETTE RESOURCES Besides modeling appropriate behavior, there are many resources available for educators to help teach students about digital etiquette: • BrainPop Educators: this website offers a variety of lesson plans for teachers about digital etiquette • Common Sense Media: this website has a variety of videos available for promotion of ethical digital etiquette • This video depicts a person’s online persona versus face to face persona, and is just one example of an educational resource on this site
- 7. CYBERBULLYING Cyberbullying is bullying that occurs online or through the use of electronic devices and technology (stopbullying.gov) Cyberbullying presents challenges when compared to face-to-face conflict. Cyber bullies can remain anonymous and victims may be unable to escape the bullying even at home (stopbullying.gov) References: Stopbullying.gov. What is cyberbullying? Retrieved from: http://www.stopbullying.gov/cyberbullying/what-is-it/index.html
- 8. CYBERBULLYING RESOURCES Although this is a relatively new problem, there are a variety of resources for students and teachers to address cyberbullying! • Common Sense Media: the website offers a toolkit for teachers to plan lessons around the subject of cyberbullying from K-12 • Common Sense Media has a great video that describes the teachers role here • Stop a Bully: on this website, students and teachers can report a bullying incident and access resources to educate themselves on Cyberbullying
- 9. DIGITAL LAW Digital law is the “electronic responsibility for actions and deeds” (Digital Citizenship, 2014) • These actions may be considered ethical or unethical Unethical Behaviors Include: • Downloading illegally • Stealing others ideas or intellectual property • Plagiarizing • Hacking As just a few examples….. http://3000newswire.blogs.com/3000_newswire/2 014/04/kansas-court-rings-down-gavel-on- 3000.html References: Digital Citizenship: Using Technology Appropriately. Nine themes of digital citizenship, Retrieved from: http:/www.digitalcitizenship.net/Nine_Elements.html
- 10. TODAY’S REALITY As evidenced previously, digital etiquette, cyberbullying, and digital law are realities that educators must deal with in their classrooms as technology rapidly advances Educators must find a way to deal with these real emerging issues! BUT HOW????
- 11. CONCLUSION Staying up to date and connected with digital citizenship resources and engaging with other educators about this subject will help me address these evolving issues By arming myself with these resources and knowledge, I will be more prepared to take on these challenges throughout my career
