Enhancing digital citizenship can be taught to students from website resources during the introductory phase of class. Websites such as Digital Citizenship and Cyber Learning provide resources and activities that can be used in class. Those resources include information on technology, podcast, and social networking. Social networking can be used to post innovative ways to build a respectful and safe digital environment. Both Digital Citizenship and Cyber Learning websites can be incorporated into class activities to encourage digital citizenship.
Digital Citizenship ‘s URL is digitalcitizenship.net. My rationale for choosing this website includes the resources and the publications. One way I will use Digital Citizenship in the classroom is by instructing the students on digital etiquette. Next, I will keep posters up in the room and near mobile devices to remind students to be aware of their responsibilities of practicing safe internet etiquette. Here are some sample posters.
During the introductory phase of the class, I will also use exercises from Cyber Learning. The URL for Cyber Learning is http://www.cyberlearning. I will divide students into groups and encourage them to discuss innovative ways they can create a safe and respectful learning environment on the internet. I will allow students to post to a blog. Students will post ideas being mindful not to repeat the ideas of others. This will encourage students to create new and innovative tactics for building a responsible digital environment.
