Digital Citizenship Lesson...Part 2

Digital Citizenship Lesson con’d:

Students were then broken up into pairs/groups of three to research the 9 rights, roles, and responsibilities of a digital citizen found on:  Rights, Roles, and Responsibilities in a Digital Society.  Each group was asked to contribute to the classroom Google Doc on the information that they found.  Here are some examples from each class:  

Digital Citizenship-1st Hour
Digital Citizenship-2nd Hour
Digital Citizenship-3rd Hour

 (Students were given a shortened URL on the board to link to the Google Doc, as well as a QR Code, in case they wanted to scan it and respond with their phones.)  I could not believe how many students contributed to the Google Doc via their phones.  I figured that would have been the last choice by students, that they would prefer the desktops or netbooks that were available.

We also shared the following video:  Digital Life Student Intro Video

After each group shared what they had written and I asked them how they would model good digital citizen behaviors in each of the content areas that they covered, we moved on to a short clip on Twitter that was discussed by Green Bay Packer Aaron Rodgers: (it is found around 26 min). Thanks to @chadkafka for this one!

We also shared with students a short video produced titled:  Digital Footprints:  Your First New Impression

Let them Lead -- From Learners to Leaders in Makerspace Vision and Design

Image
This is the beginning of a series of a few blog entries on KMIT Summer Academy Boot Camp. KMIT is our "Kettle Moraine Innovation Team" (learner tech team). In an effort to train our learners prior to next school year we ran a Boot Camp for learners in grades 5-9 (for 6 weeks, 2 hours/day) to learn the ropes of what KMIT is, be challenged to exercise leadership and good customer service, create videos, design websites, and create the vision for our KMMS Makerspace. This is another instances in which learners became co-creators of a learning experience. Whether you currently have a makerspace, are looking to start a makerspace, or are looking to add greater learner ownership to your makerspace, this blog might be worth a read! Last summer at Ledyen's 1:1 Teaching and Learning Symposium, a participant from PA shared that learners created the vision for their makerspace within their school. I immediately thought this was genius. Why are we as adults creating the spac...

Persistence...The Missing Link?

Image
This semester I have been participating in a teacher led micro-credential on classroom discussions.  As part of the discussion process, students were asked to reflect on two objectives of the discussion:  perseverance/ persistence and active listening. A few things emerged from this activity.  First off, students struggled to fill this out with enough detail so that their responses could be understood.  It appeared that they had rushed their responses. As a result I handed it back to students and asked for more detail. As I was doing some research on Costa & Kallick's Habits of Mind, I came across a resource that suggested having students outline and define what it means to demonstrate perseverance/persistence.  We are responsible for working on (4) of the habits of mind as part of our 100 day plans and I wanted to be more intentional about teaching them. The soft skills are as, if not more important, than the content that we are responsible for teac...

"No Man Is An Island" What It Means to Be A Connected Educator

Image
"No man is an island, we can be found No man is an island, let your guard down Please don’t try to fight me, I am for you We’re not meant to live this life alone." --Tenth Avenue North When I hear these lyrics from one of my favorite songs, I am quickly reminded about how fortunate and blessed I am to be a connected educator.  Participating and growing with my PLN has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career and has opened the door to some incredible opportunities.  I don't know what I'd do without all of the personal and professional support that I find by participating in a strong PLN.  Becoming a connected educator has unquestionably shaped my career as an educator, helped me to build confidence, and has helped me to become the person that I am today. In our day to day journey there are days that many of us feel like we're on islands.  Sometimes people disagree with what we're doing and cannons get sho...
