What is Digital Citizenship

That’s the driving question behind our current Year 5 unit of inquiry. It’s the start of the school year here in Australia, so the unit begins with the establishment of a learning community in the classroom.

So I set out, innocently and curiously, to figure who she was. I knew this person lived in San Francisco, from her own photos. There it was: a full name.

Creepy, right? Nearly everyone has done something like this. A friend who works in technology recently told me I would never be able to figure out her age online. Ms. Now which one of us is going to do that?
