Digital Citizenship in SchoolsAssignment 1

Using one to one devices for

digital citizenship

Now that we have a one device per student situation in our classrooms we need to look at:

• What digital citizenship is,

• Where we sit in regard to how effectively we foster digital citizenship in the use of one to one devices,

• How WE should proceed to ensure positive digital citizenship in our students.

Collaborate and plan for professional development

Have a think about:• How do we better achieve promoting digital citizenship

within our classrooms and with the use of one to one devices?

• What can be your role/specialty as a leader in achieving this collective goal?

• What kind of support is required to make this goal achievable?

Conclusion

We all need professional development when it comes to using technology. As teachers we have always accepted our responsibility to encourage students to

be good citizens. Now that our most popular medium for citizenship is digital

it has become our duty to promote positive digital literacy. With direction and collaboration can all be leaders in

achieving this goal.
