How do we encourage students to become productive, socially-connected digital citizens? Good digital citizenship is based on authentic modeling, clearly defined expectations, consistent reinforcement, and strong interpersonal relationships.
Key Questions for today: What is the approach we should use to provide positive support? How we address teachable moments? • Insure that all staff model the behavior we expect from students. • Create strong relationships in real life to assist in creating good digital citizens.
Digital Citizenship Implementation Plan in Lewisville ISD • Strategic Design includes Digital Citizenship • Instructional Technology and the Technology Advisory Council updated AUP to reflect a 1:1 learning environment • Campuses and Technology held parent nights for 1:X implementation with a focus on restrictions and Digital Citizenship • Library Media Specialists on each campus – CommonSense Media certified Library Media Specialists and in some cases campus certified • All district administrators participate in Professional Learning Leaders Digital Citizenship Day • http://1tox.lisd.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/MarchLearningLeaders_Breakouts.pdf • Create Pathways for study for campus use • Include it in the Campus Improvement Plan • Support with a Website • Provide a yearlong focus • Instructional Technology, Operations, and Teaching and Learning collaborated on additional needs in the AUP • Parent Cadres will be put into place this summer to support Digital Citizenship on each Campus next year
