IROC2 is very proud of The Declaration of Digital Citizenship.

As a result, both organizations strive to promote the ethical, responsible and safe use of information and communication technologies by kids and teens. That said, I decided that the Declaration of Digital Citizenship should be translated and made available in other languages, namely Portuguese, since Projecto MiudosSegurosNa.Net helps Portuguese speaking families, schools and communities.

Flash forward to today, both of the schools I work at have purchased one iPad for each classroom. Although I’ve already mastered how to manage all the iDevices in my personal household, learning to manage iPads in an institutional environment involved a bit more learning due to the complexities of software licensing and the necessity to keep institutional accounts separate from personal ones.
