Literacy comes from practice . Digital citizenship, for example, is a VERB. Can't teach swimming without a pool - can't model and practice social literacy, citizenship, etc. in theory. Need to practice digital social literacy in digital environments.

Students blogged about "their sentences".They were to write about how they would achieve their goals. Parents and others in the global community commented on the posts, sharing their sentences.
This comment was especially powerful because the student previously had often doubted herself and become paralyzed by making decisions. Her mom was delighted that she chose this as a goal for herself. This conversation happened within the safety of the moderated blog space.
Our fourth grade class loved Skyping with the class in Argentina, learning how well they spoke our language, and seeing how many similar opinions we had about the great book, The One and Only Ivan.
