Digital Citizenship, Ethics & Netiquette


Teaching Digital Citizenship


URL:  http://www.edutopia.org/blog/film-festival-digital-citizenship

The five minute film festival is a website designed at making users conscious of proper behavior that should to be carried out when networking throughout the internet. Digital citizenship can cover anything from "netiquette" to cyberbullying; technology access and the digital divide; online safety and privacy; copyright, plagiarism, and digital law, and more. Borovo, (2012), states that “it provides guidelines for responsible, appropriate behavior when one is using technology, and provides a playlist of videos with various topics such as: What is Digital Citizenship; Be a Digital Citizen; Online Safety Version Digital Citizenship Curriculum Training Introduction; Invasion of Data Snatchers – How to Protect Your Online Privacy”. While there is much talk about the importance of teaching digital citizenship in this information society, not many are sure what that really looks like. What tools are out there for teaching it? And how in the world can teachers make time in an already overcrowded curriculum? These videos are created for all ages and educational levels, and with diverse preferred learning methods. The playlist is intended to offer tools to make the case that it's critical to teach digital citizenship, and then launchpad videos to seed classroom discussions once you've carved out that precious time.
