School boards spend countless hours figuring out how to formulate policies limiting the use of cell phones, iPods, and Internet access in school buildings...they must stop seeing these changes as threats and instead identify the opportunities they present.

Avoiding Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) is no longer an option. How are we modeling responsible use and learning for our students?

• Nationwide, 55% of middle and high school students, as well as 25% of elementary students, own a mobile device (e.g. cell phone).

• The average minor sends 50-100 text messages per day.

• 58% of students in schools where cell phones are banned send text messages anyway.

• Teens in the lowest income category are most likely to use their phones, instead of computers to go online.

• 67% of parents are willing to buy their children a mobile device for educational purposes.

• 83% of adults have mobile phones (Source: http://goo.gl/9hqim).

”We are seeing high levels of student motivation, engagement and learning in the iPad classrooms,” said Sue Dorris, principal at East Auburn Community School.

“The apps, which teach and reinforce fundamental literacy concepts and skills, are engaging, interactive and provide children with immediate feedback. What’s more, teachers can customize apps to match the instructional needs of each child, so students are able to learn successfully at their own level and pace.”

4 Stages of theDigital Citizenship Cycle

Scenario

Lisa wants a cell phone. She feels “out of touch” with her friends because they “all have cell phones and they want to keep in touch with her.” Lisa’s parents are concerned about having their daughter act responsible when using a cell phone. They have seen friends’ children use cell phones inappropriately on numerous occasions (e.g. talking to their friends when they are with their parents, talking loudly in public, taking pictures without people’s permission). They are especially concerned about safety issues (such as driving a car while using a cell phone). After careful thought, Lisa’s parents decide to buy her a cell phone for her upcoming sixteenth birthday.

As Lisa’s birthday gets closer they go out and begin to look at different phones and wireless plans. Lisa would like a small cell phone with a built-in camera so that she can take pictures/videos of her friends. Her parents are not sure if having a phone with a camera is a good idea, but their price is almost the same as the regular cell phones. On her birthday, Lisa’s parents present her with the cell phone.

Lisa and her parents sit down to discuss the mobile device and what the positive and negative implications are of using it. They discuss its use with others, such as family and friends.

1.Awareness

During school hours, how would you set your mobile device’s sound setting?

Think - Pair - Share

Lisa and her parents discuss digital citizenship implications of using the mobile phone, including responsible use. They focus on positive examples of use rather than negative ones.

They also discuss the school’s RUA and scenarios about how it might be used. Peers may not always be the best role models.

standing

2.Under-

standing

Lisa begins using the mobile device and freely shares her mistakes with her parents. Parents assure her this is part of the learning process, keeping dialogue open.

3.Action

Lisa is granted more privileges in the use of her mobile phone, and frequently reflects on her appropriate, responsible usage of the device. She continues to share that with her parents and they become co-learners in the process of using technology.
