We know students ARE online
What we want students to know:
- Being online can make a positive difference in their life. Students throughout the world are doing great things online
- Act on and off line as if the world is watching because they are
- Learn all you can about being a good digital citizen. Google digital citizenship
- Act with integrity on and off line
- Be aware of your digital identity google yourself
- Research creative commons and be able to explain it to a younger student
- You can build a positive reputation on line
- You can be a positive creator
- Your reputation is created by YOU
Digital Citizenship has a place in every school and we need to focus on the positive aspects of the internet as well as the things that concern us.
We want students to ask themselves:
- What are the creative opportunities on the web?
- What are the ethical dilemmas?
- What are the rewards and the risks of being on line?
It is important to find great examples on the internet of students doing things to not only improve their own opportunities, but to improve the lives of those in their school, communities, and around the world. We would like to encourage students to look for these great examples as well.
I’d like to see schools focus on those students who Make A Difference Online by providing them with a scholarship that recognizes all the good they do online. Anyone interested in providing one?
