The 3 steps for Digital Citizenship Certification in East Central ISD are: 1. All teachers must teach 2 cybersafety lessons to students using approved curriculum. 2. Campus professional staff like teachers and administrators must complete a self-paced online course on digital citizenship. 3. The campus principal must certify on an online form that steps 1 and 2 have been completed by their campus staff. This certification ensures compliance for eRate funding for the upcoming school year.

2. What is a webquest?
A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson
format in which most or all the information
that learners work with comes from the
web.
The model was developed by Bernie Dodge at San Diego
State University in February, 1995 with early input from
SDSU/Pacific Bell Fellow Tom March, the Educational
Technology staff at San Diego Unified School District, and
waves of participants each summer at the Teach the
Teachers Consortium.

An Introductory Problem
A Task
A Process
Roles for Cooperative Groups
A Culminating Activity or Project

4. Introduction

5. Introduction
Often, it's one thing to develop policy, quite
another to implement it in a way that makes
sense. How can we, as leaders in a learning
organization, model responsible use of
technology with students and staff?
Over the next 30-40 minutes, you will explore
this question and learn how the East Central
ISD plans to introduce students and staff to
digital citizenship, cybersafety and responsible
use.

6. Task
To develop an understanding of digital
citizenship, cybersafety, and how it applies to
you, you need to develop a thorough
understanding of what digital citizenship means
in K-12 schools.
One way for you to get there is to critically
analyze a number of digital citizenship scenarios
and discuss them from multiple perspectives.
That's your task in this exercise.

7. Process
1. Select a role (we’ll go over those in a
moment).
2. Take 15-20 minutes to go over information
available as video/text/pictures. Use the
Concept Builder Notes handout to gather
information that build towards “one truth.”
3. Pool your infobits, truths, and perspectives
and develop an Action Plan statement (keep it
simple, this isn’t a dissertation) that captures
your truths, information, and ideas.
4. Work with the session facilitator to video-
record your statement (let me know when
you’re ready!)

8. Choose Your Role
The Classroom Teacher:
Over the past year, you've attended several state conferences such as the TCEA and
TexasASCD conference. Everywhere you've gone, the message is coming in loud and clear--
social media is THE way to connect with students where they are at since over 74% of
students have mobile devices. Technology has never been easier to use! You're thrilled that
Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) initiatives are starting up in your District.
Last week at the local pizzaria, you ran into a parent of one of next
year's students. You happen to mention that you'll be using Edmodo
("It's just like Facebook but for education!" you remember saying) to
facilitate information sharing. Now, everyone wants to know what
you're up to with this Facebook-like thing and you want them to
support you. In spite of your enthusiasm, the question in your mind
is, How can social media be used within the context of being a
responsible digital citizen? Begin.

9. Choose Your Role
The School Administrator:
In your mind, the best use of technology is the one that
results in the least amount of litigation. Yesterday, a parent
happened to comment at a morning coffee how wonderful it
was that one of the teachers was using Edmodo to manage
communications about homework and classwork, sharing
videos featuring students and what they are learning. Then
he asked, What do you think about it?
While you're thrilled parents are happy, you weren't so sure,
worrying it wouldn't be long before you are embroiled in
scandal. The less sharing, the better. You just want to stop
the Internet and can't wait for this fad to be over. You decide
to analyze the District's Responsible Use Agreement to see
how the district may have missed the mark, and ask yourself,
How will I share this with students, teachers and
parents? Begin.

10. Choose Your Role
http://goo.gl/
The Parent:
"Cheer, cheer, cheer!" Your straight "A" daughter Julie,
who happens to be a cheerleader and a junior at the
local high school, is constantly using her new iPhone to
share pictures, video and status updates on Facebook.
Although you try to keep up, Facebook is not your
thing.
You just ran into Julie's teacher, and she mentioned
that she'd be using something called Edmodo, which
she informed you, works "just like Facebook!"
Although Julie is now doing right punches for joy, you
wonder, If I couldn't keep up with her at home using
Facebook, how will the teacher keep track of all those
students online? Begin.

11. Choose Your Role
The Curriculum Specialist:
In the last few years since No Child Left Behind
accountability standards and Adequate Yearly Progress
(AYP) kicked in, your job has transitioned from focusing
on helping teachers be better learning facilitators to
testing drill instructors. The challenge changed from a
focus on project-based learning, differentiated
instruction, multiple intelligences to just ensuring all
students pass the test.
http://goo.gl/
You fundamentally believe that technology is irrelevant
to classroom instruction, although it can enhance
teacher efficiency and achievement data analysis.
Teachers, students and BYOT are a dangerous mix
because they take our eye off the ball--improving
student achievement in a competitive economy. Why
are we spending time on digital literacy, digital
citizenship and learning? Begin.

12. Choose Your Role
District Technology Support:
Your July, 2012 copy ofNetwork World features this
headline: "IT groups eschew BYOD." As you read the
article, you can't help but reflect on the fact that many
schools are jumping into BYOD or BYOT faster than
they can build the network infrastructure. And, let's not
forget other mobile devices (e.g. iPads, iPodTouch,
Nexus 7/Kindle Fire Android Tablets) are replacing
http://goo.gl/ desktop computers and laptops as the tools of choice.
Just like it says in Network World, "This is a disruptive
technology. We're ripping PCs out of the environment
faster than we're installing them. This may be the
death of the PC."
If that's true, and it certainly seems so, what do we
need to change in how we plan school buildings and
instruction? Begin.

You can use paper
or take notes
using your laptop,

other device you
prefer.

15. Task Checklist
3-5 minutes - Divide into groups of 4-5. Whomever is the
School Administrator will be the "speaker" for the group.
2 minutes - Explore the roles below, choose one for
yourself for your group, and let them know.
15 minutes - Read the Concept Builder activity, gathering
notes using Concept Builder handout. Then, craft a "truth"
that summarizes what you have come up with.
15 minutes - With your whole group, share what you
discovered and craft an action plan. This is a statement that
maps out how you might best approach addressing the
challenges presented in the Role Summary below.
5 minutes - When your group has completed its action
plan statement, contact the Session Facilitator so you can
be video-recorded providing that statement.

16. Action Plan Structure
Your action plan should be a clear
statement that encourages others to be
responsible digital citizens, reflecting
the complexity perspectives you have
explored through the webquest.
Your response--as expressed by the
person chosen to be “The School
Administrator”--will be video-recorded
for sharing with the whole group.
