What an exciting new school year! Last Thursday and Friday 4th and 5th grade students in our district received Chromebooks, this week grades 6-9 will receive them. With technology integration, digital citizenship is important. As shared in the Common Sense Media article, "Shaping My Classroom's Culture With Digital Citizenship," routines and expectations are important to help students feel comfortable and develop a culture in the classroom regarding technology responsibility. This article also provides tips for teachers to strengthen digital citizenship in the classroom including the following resource tips:
- K-5 Family Tip sheet titled Common Sense on Digital Life - This is great resource to send home to parents. As I collaborate with classrooms regarding digital citizenship lessons, a Family Tip Sheet will be sent home to help parents know what their child is learning in school regarding digital citizenship.
- Parent Concerns Videos help address parental concerns including cyberbullying and screen time.
- Stand with Common Sense: Take the Digital Citizenship Pledge for All is also a great way for teachers to empower students to think critically, behave safely, and participate as a responsible digital citizen.
Please consider reviewing this information, sharing aspects of it with families, and collaborating with me to integrate digital citizenship in your classroom.
