Proactive Digital Citizenship

One of the hottest topics in education right now is digital citizenship. Should teachers be proactive instead of protective when it comes to technology in the classroom? Technology has such potential to empower students when used correctly. The Digital Citizen standard brings this empowerment to how students interact online. First off, it calls for students to drive their digital citizenship as they “recognize the rights, responsibilities and opportunities of living, learning and working in an interconnected digital world and they act and model in ways that are safe, legal and ethical.” Students should not be afraid to use the internet, it’s not a bad thing. Here are some way to make a shift: 

1. Students should be taught the intellectual properties and the legality of using  others work. Student should also be taught how to protect their own work. 

2. Students should be taught about their digital footprints, privacy settings, and digital services. They should clean up their social media accordingly. 

3. Students should be encouraged to interact on the Internet in a way that is positive, safe, and creative. 

If we are going to implement technology into the classroom it is crucial to teach students to be good digital citizens and why it is important. In my lesson plan, students will have online access. It never occurred to me to go over any kind of digital citizenship with them. After all, they are in high school and probably know how to work an iPad/tablet better than I can. However, it is my job to let them know what is expected of them when using technology in the classroom. I will most definitely go over basic media etiquette. iPads/Tablets are only to be used in a positive way on the Geometer’s Sketchpad application only.

In order to meet the goal of students being good digital citizens, teachers have to weave these instructions into their curriculum. It comes when educators recognize openings in the course of learning to call out knowledge, dangers, and opportunities related to digital activity. This can be accomplished through a variety of ways. Interactive games, lectures, and videos explaining the importance of being a good digital citizen and how it can effect them in high school and beyond. This should be done with a focus that technology is good, not evil and they are encouraged to use it. By using an integrated approach, students will be engaged and more willing to interact. As educators we need to be proactive in technology. Teach about the pros and cons and say ‘yes’ to technology and ‘yes’ to our student’s futures.
