  2. Digital citizenship • New technology is changing education. From software to hardware, technology is changing the shape of the school day. • In Huntsville City Schools (HSC), we have adopted a one-to-one technology initiative, one of the first in the country. Every student in grades 1 and 2 has been issued an iPad and every student from grade 3 through grade 12 has been issued a laptop. • HCS has also partnered with Pearson Education for our digital curriculum and extensive professional development. • This slide show focuses on some of the most pressing topics to consider when incorporating technology into our classrooms.

  3. Netiquette Manners Matter • Greetings and salutations: Use your name and begin and end posts appropriately. Include subjects. (Roblyer & Doering, 2013) • DON’T USE ALL CAPITALS! It’s the equivalent of shouting and can be difficult to read. • Emoticons are encouraged! They convey emotion in an otherwise flat medium.  ("Netiquette," 2011) • Be efficient. Keeps posts on topic and to the point. (Roblyer & Doering, 2013) • Acronyms are OK. Stick to the most common, such as LOL (Laugh Out Loud) and BRB (Be Right Back). ("Netiquette," 2011)

  4. Copyright Give Credit Where Credit is Due • Copyright concerns present new challenges in education. (Roblyer & Doering, 2013) • While referencing resources has long been the standard in written work, referencing an online resource creates a new skill to be taught. • If possible, try to provide direct links to sources. ("Build a website:," 2010)

  5. Fair Use No Permission Required • Use of intellectual property under “Fair Use” requires a source reference, but not previous permission to use. • Fair Use applies in instances of comment, criticism, and parody. • These uses are common in education, with teachers and students both utilizing pieces of text or pictures in this manner. (Stim, 2010)

  6. Plagiarism Don’t Be Tempted • Plagiarism can occur intentionally and accidentally. Cite your references! • Sites are available for students to find homework solutions, including whole papers. (Douglas, 2010) • Sites are also available for educators to identify plagiarized assignments. (Roblyer & Doering, 2013) • An MIT study showed that students who copied more than 50% of their assignments received course grades two full letter grades lower than their counterparts who completed their own work. (Douglas, 2010)

  7. Safety on the Web If You Can’t Say Something Nice… • Cyberbullying is well defined. Educators must be aware of what is said online and teach their students when to ask for help. (Roblyer & Doering, 2013) • A recent forum in Bali explored a child’s right to free speech and privacy versus the protection of that child. • Our children must be taught to not post personal information or private images online. (Magid, 2013) • Even when posts are “deleted”, they really aren’t gone. Students must be reminded once they put something out there, it will be there forever. (Roblyer & Doering, 2013)

  8. Safety on your computer Assume Everything is Public • Confirm a company is using a secure server before you give them personal information, including credit card numbers. (Roblyer & Doering, 2013) • Choose strong passwords and limit information you provide to companies, on the chance their servers can be hacked. (Magid, 2013) • Only make online purchases from well-known, well-reviewed retailers. (Roblyer & Doering, 2013)
