Digital citizenship is being a good citizen in a digital world.
How we build digital citizenship in our students
We model and explain digital citizenship all of the time from when they first enter school! It is threaded throughout the school at an appropriate level. Our class blogs are a great way to model what you do and don't write for an open audience. The children are aware of not combining a name and a photo, they know that putting a photo on to a digital space of someone else requires their permission. We model and discuss what a good comment looks like. Also we encourage children to help children. They are very good at guiding their peers in what the proper digital etiquette is.
In senior syndicate throughout the year at different times we visit the sites below.
Use use Skoovile from years 3 up to give children a safe on line space which is purpose built to teach them how to be safe and smart .
We use a site called Cyber Smart
It is our job to be de"tech"tives, so that we can understand how we are connected and disconnected by technology, so that we might only let this happen in ways we think are smart and healthy.
