7. Digital Citizenship Essential skills for today’s students We live in a digital world We as teachers all have the responsibility of helping our students navigate, interact and thrive in that world.

8. What can we as teachers/administrators/schools/parents/community members do to teach our children?

9. Formalized Curriculums There are many! Some of my FREE favorites: http://www.commonsensemedia.org/digital-citizenship http://digiteen.ning.com/ http://digitalcitizenshiped.com/Curriculum.aspx http://cybersmartcurriculum.org/

10. Beginning the Discussion Formalized, embedded instruction is best. Some schools have a Digital Citizenship class students must all pass in order to graduate In addition, every teacher must reinforce the skills learned in every class (If it’s ok to cheat and steal in Mr. Sample’s room, then it’s ok to cheat and steal anywhere.)

11. Parental Instruction Also essential! Moms and Dads don’t know what to look for Most don’t know about or understand the tools their children use: Texting and smart phones Facebook and AIM Skype and tools-yet-to-be-invented

12. Planning Your Approach Teacher PD Student formalized instruction/programs Parent Instruction/Support Administrative Oversight Policy Development/Updating District AUPs We all must work together to succeed!
