Definition Of Digital Citzenship

The Definition Of Digital Citizenship by Terry Heick As more and more students interact digitally–with content, one another, and various communities–the concept of digital citizenship becomes increasingly important. Which begs the question: what is digital citizenship? Well, first citizenship, which is formally defined as “the quality of an individual’s response to membership in a community.” This makes citizenship far more complex than a simple legal matter, but rather one that consists of self-knowledge, interaction, and intimate knowledge of a place, its people, and its cultural history. So digital citizenship is nearly the same thing–“the quality of a response to membership in a digital community” would be a good first crack at the definition. But that leaves out the idea of content itself, which leads us to a pretty good definition for educators: “The quality of habits, actions, and consumption patterns that impact the ecology of digital content and communities.” Still too wordy?

10 digital citizenship resources By Laura Devaney, Managing Editor, @eSN_Laura Read more by Laura Devaney Students may be able to operate technology tools and navigate resources without a problem, but students don’t always realize that what they post or make public online, and behaviors they exhibit online, tend to stick around. To help students learn about appropriate online behavior and decisions, school leaders are turning to digital citizenship education. It’s important to instruct kids “how to not only use the computer, but how to live in this digital world,” said Lenny Schad, chief information technology officer in the Houston Independent School District, during a recent webinar reviewing important aspects of digital deployments. Digital citizenship is becoming an increasingly important consideration during the mobile device deployment process, experts say.

Why Teachers Must Have a Digital Footprint Nov 27 2013 It’s so funny. Looking for other blog posts about how teachers need a digital footprint uncovers almost nothing. But, it’s true– It is no longer an option. Teachers must have a digital footprint. 1. Principals and Heads of Schools want more than a resume these days. 2. Contributing to blogs and online learning communities helps you become a reflective practitioner. 3. Especially as students reach middle and high school, I think it important to share real world mistakes and how to move past them and learn from the mistakes we make. 4. During open house this year, I told parents that we were creating digital portfolios for each student to follow them through their tine at SIS. 5. If you flood the internet with purposeful and helpful information created and maintained by you, you are likely to block out negative press or at least counter-balance it.
