Problem?

With students having open-access to all forms of technology (ipods, itouch, iphones), how are we going to model/teach digital citizenship in the classroom?

Do we need to revisit/rewrite our AUP?

What are the consequences for inappropriate technology communications?

What needs to be address with school policy/discipline? Do we allow cell phones?

What is Digital Citizenship?Digital Citizenship is a concept which helps teachers, technology leaders and parents to understand what students/children/technology users should know to use technology appropriately. Digital Citizenship is more than just a teaching tool; it is a way to prepare students/technology users for a society full of technology. Too often we are seeing students as well as adults misusing and abusing technology but not sure what to do. The issue is more than what the users do not know but what is considered appropriate technology usage.
