  1. Hi, this is Jimmy Ferguson, and today we were talking
  2. about teaching our students about digital citizenship.
  3. In this unprecedented environment, it's important for our students to
  4. understand what's expected of them.
  5. They may not have been schooled very well from there
  6. from home environment or just picking up things from their
  7. student from their friends.
  8. And so it's important for us to kind of take
  9. this time, just as we would at the beginning of
  10. a school year to talk about how we act in
  11. our classroom.
  12. This is gonna be how we act in our digital
  13. classroom. So I think the first thing is always to
  14. give it a good definition, which you can find out
  15. on the Internet in a lot of different places.
  16. I found a ton of information about this and really
  17. good definitions.
  18. Give them a good definition to start with, and then
  19. we move forward from there.
  20. The next thing to for us to talk about is
  21. kind of the ends and outs of digital citizenship, and
  22. Netiquette is really where the action is.
  23. So give them the term netiquette, let them research it
  24. and then come up with a plan together of a
  25. collaborative plan.
  26. As a class, you want to discuss basics of digital
  27. citizenship, so generate a list of basics.
  28. You could keep graphics like this one here, make sure
  29. that they have copies of that, or that you've sent
  30. them digital copies of that.
  31. So that it's just another reminder that before they do
  32. anything on social media or um or, um in their
  33. class to be thinking and using in this particular one
  34. uses the an acronym for the word Think, um, about
  35. how they're going to be acting and the most important
  36. things that they need to be doing and then be
  37. sure that you're covering and from specifics about proper behavior
  38. and modeling proper behavior courses as it, uh, it's a
  39. teacher and then improper behavior.
  40. Whether it's things like thes sample text on the left,
  41. it looks like that they're angry and yelling with uppercase
  42. or even the one on the right.
  43. The cartoon on the right, with bullying, you don't want
  44. our students.
  45. We want students to understand that this is a again
  46. a privilege and a right, and there's also responsibilities with
  47. this as well.
  48. And then you want to address consequences just like in
  49. our own citizenship.
  50. Um, in our cities, in our state, in our country
  51. we don't follow the rules, there are consequences.
  52. So you want to be sure you talk about what
  53. those consequences are?
  54. Um, and then finally, you want to be sure that
  55. you just kind of hone it all and bring it
  56. back together and talk about the class rules making agreement
  57. with your students, set it up where they can put
  58. their digital signature on the page.
  59. That is saying to the entire class and to you
  60. that they're agreeing to go along with with what you
  61. all have set up a za class.
  62. I hope this is helpful and have a great day.
