Digital Research Skills. What Your Students Really Need to Know About Digital Citizenship. In my classroom, I use two essential approaches in the digital citizenship curriculum that I teach: proactive knowledge and experiential knowledge. Proactive Knowledge I want my students to know the “9 Key Ps” of digital citizenship. While I go into these Ps in detail in my book Reinventing Writing, here are the basics: 1. Passwords: Do students know how to create a secure password? Do they know that email and online banking should have a higher level of security and never use the same passwords as other sites? Do they have a system like LastPass for managing passwords, or a secure app where they store this information?
2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Experiential Knowledge During the year, I touch on each of the points above with lessons and class discussions, but just talking is not enough. Truth or fiction: To protect us from disease, we are inoculated with dead viruses and germs. Students need experience sharing and connecting online with others in a variety of environments. InCtrl.

This post is not intended as legal advise. If you have real concerns that you MIGHT be violating someone’s copyright, do not use it. Sharing quotes, facts, and images from other blogs is something many content creators do instinctively, without thinking about whether they are doing anything wrong. The importance of copyright online is ever increasing. If you find yourself wanting to pull a quotation from another website or blog, use one of their photos, or re-publish an entire blog post, here are a few rules of the road to guide you down the path of content curation copyright.
Fair Use Allows You to Use The Content Of Others If… The Common Sense Approach to Copyright Are You Helping Them? Can I download music and videos from YouTube? Am I breaking copyright law? Educators please note: we have now published practical advice for schools using YouTube videos to expand upon the educational exemptions of the NZ Copyright Act. New Zealand’s copyright laws were updated on the 1st September 2011 with the introduction of the Copyright (Infringing File Sharing) Amendment Act 2011. The wording of the new Act says it: “provides rights owners with a special regime for taking enforcement action against people who infringe copyright through file sharing” It is quite specific because it only applies to infringing material (protected by copyright) which is uploaded or downloaded via file sharing applications or networks.
Does this law apply to YouTube and streaming content from websites? NetSafe has recently been inundated with enquiries from people worried that they may be breaking the new law by watching or downloading movies or audio from popular video sharing site YouTube or using other websites to watch streaming TV shows or movies. The Copyright (Infringing File Sharing) Amendment Act: What schools should know. The wording of the new act says it: “provides rights owners with a special regime for taking enforcement action against people who infringe copyright through file sharing” It is quite specific because it only applies to infringing material (protected by copyright) which is uploaded or downloaded via file sharing applications or networks. There are two concepts there – first, the material has to be infringing, second the infringing material has to be file shared. What does “infringing” mean? The copyright owner has the exclusive right to copy, play, share , distribute or adapt that work, or to permit anyone else to do it.
If anyone else copy’s shares or distributes a copyright protected work, without the permission of the copyright holder, then they are infringing on the owners copyright. The act relates to the uploading or downloading of a piece of work in a file sharing network that infringes the copyright in that work. What is “file sharing”? In the law, file sharing is defined as: How to Determine Website Credibility [Rubric] Our World Wide Web is a living, breathing, and constantly expanding phenomenon. We often wonder how much information is being produced, and infographics like this one from Domo can give us a fairly solid visual idea of what’s being created and uploaded regularly.
Personally, we think Mitchell Kapor said it more eloquently than anyone: “Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant.” This rapid exponential growth of information across the Web makes it all the more difficult to assess the credibility of our sources. As teachers of critical thinking skills, it’s important for us to provide guidelines for students to use when searching for content to use in their projects. Whether for citations or research, our students need a strong grasp of Information Fluency for use in determining website credibility.
The following rubric was inspired by a slideshow presentation featured on EasyBib that is meant for evaluating a website’s credibility. Digital Citizenship in schools. 'Digital citizenship' is a broad and evolving concept. It reflects a number of different behaviours which include, but are not limited to, appropriate and effective ways we interact with people and/or information through media and technology.
It is built on and guided by a set of values and principles reflecting the greater communities in which we work and play. The National Library - Services to Schools, has identified seven key themes we think are important to the development of effective digital citizens. Although this is still a relatively new space, these themes and accompanying questions can help you to collaboratively develop and promote digital citizenship among all members of the school community.

WWF Snaps #Lastselfie of Endangered Animals. Be careful what your students leave behind – Be careful what your students leave behindHow anonymous are your students when they go online? How private is their activity and the information it generates? Can you ensure their personal data is free from unwanted surveillance? David Kinane explores the challenges of privacy. As teachers, we have long been aware of the need to ensure that our students are kept safe online.
With the growth in importance of Digital Citizenship, the single strand notion of cybersafety has matured into a whole-child approach whose aim is to ensure that our students become competent and confident life-long citizens of the digital realm. Digital Citizenship’s focus is very outward facing and the differing strands all combine to create a 360-degree shield of best practice, ranging from digital health and wellness to being safe online. But is there a Trojan horse inside this protective shield? As long as we understand privacy online is a myth and acknowledge the repercussions of this, then all is good. BYOD. 2014 saw the successful introduction of Lynfield College's BYOD programme in which students bring their own device to school in support of their learning. This programme involved all Year 10 students in 2014 and has now been extended to include Years 9, 10 and 11 in 2015. The aim of the programme is to enhance student learning through the integration of technology into the classroom.
BYOD enables teachers to work in new innovative ways that are more interactive and engaging for students. It also challenges students to collaborate with one another and extend their learning beyond the classroom walls. Lynfield College has been resourced to meet the changes that are happening in our society with its upgrade of the network including Ultra-fast Broadband, installation of a Wi-Fi network throughout the school, introduction of Google Apps and development of its online learning environment - e-LynC.

APA stands for the American Psychological Association, which is an organization that focuses on psychology. They are responsible for creating this specific citation style. They are not associated with this guide, but all of the information here provides guidance to using their style. What is APA Citing? APA style is used by many scholars and researchers in the behavioral and social sciences, not just psychology.
There are other citation formats and styles such as MLA and Chicago citation style, but this one is most popular in the fields of science. Following the same standard format for citations allows readers to understand the types of sources used in a project and also understand their components. The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association is currently in its 6th edition. We cite sources for many reasons. What Does it Look Like? There are two types of citations. Those that are found in the body of a project are called in-text/parenthetical citations.
