Given your students’ grade level and the subject matter you teach, consider how you can teach digital citizenship and specifically digital citizenship as it relates to to digital communication. Please provide 3 specific examples on how you might make learning digital citizenship personal for your students.
Recently I explored 3 digital citizenship resources. I was drawn to Common Sense Media and Google's Internet Be Awesome. Stanford's History Education Group seemed to be better for older students or students who are conducting research. At first I thought Google's Be Internet Awesome would be a good fit for my students. There are games and corresponding lessons, plus we use chromebooks in the classroom so it would be easy to access. However after going through the Common Sense Media tutorial I think this is going to be our best fit. Common Sense Media has a feature called nearpod. It's a live lesson feature that I think would be really interesting. Currently, we have a program that enables me to share my screen with students. Unfortunately this program isn't interactive like nearpod. From my understanding it gives instant feedback much like Kahoot. My students are very much into instant feedback. Something else my students really enjoy is hearing about my family or the lives of other teachers. I would like to create my own case study like the teacher from Denver did for her class, for my students to analyze. Last I would like to encourage students to bring this conversation home to their families. The woman that did outreach in the Berryessa School District made a great case for getting parents involved in their students' digital lives. We monitor what our students eat and who they are friends with. It's also important to be involved in what our students are involved with online.

Catie, we have similar opinions. I also thought the Be Internet Awesome would be the best fit, but decided on Common Sense Media as well. I did not see the NearPod lessons, though. However, I found some of their lessons provided something similar: Pear Deck. These are slides, like Google slides, but also have interactive capability. I just love the scope and variety of resources on Common Media! My favorite resource was the "Device Free Dinner" event because it also brings families into the picture.

Jona I love the idea of device free dinner. When I was an elementary school kid our admin posed a challenge to us of "No TV week. " Same concept of wanting to bring families awareness of what our screens do to quality time.

I'm hoping the Nearpods will work in the classroom, but after doing more research it sounds like they need their own cell phones. We have chromebooks. I was trying to figure out how to make it work. Might have to ask our IT dept....

I really like that idea!!!! That could be an interesting project. Tie it in to standards by having them graph the usage and analyze data. Maybe a writing component or powerpoint presentation?
