Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility
Teachers understand local and global societal issues and responsibilities in an evolving digital culture and exhibit legal and ethical behavior in their professional practices. Teachers:
a. advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources
b. address the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies and providing equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources
c. promote and model digital etiquette and responsible social interactions related to the use of technology and information
d. develop and model cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of other cultures using digital-age communication and collaboration tools
This standard requires educators to teach the rules of interacting with other people online. This is not exclusive to digital etiquette, but also includes copyright, intellectual property, and documenting any sources used. One of the best ways to teach is to teach by example. Using proper citations in the Slides and Video projects will demonstrate to the students how references do need to be cited. The discussion forum provides an environment for the students to interact with each other and practice the appropriate etiquette required in online interactions. The Edpuzzle video, the Thinglink, and the Scoop.It! page allows the instructor to share ideas relating to the content material from around the world, while still observing proper copyright laws. Many of these sites are actually online communities in which the content created can be shared with other educators. I think it would be beneficial to find some of these type sites that the students can interact with other students regarding content material.
Future Learning Goal: My lesson did not instruct the students in any of the etiquette or proper use of information. The lesson had many examples of good use, however, I do not address it directly. Blackboard has a tutorial on online etiquette and plagiarism. I could require the students to review those tutorials for an assignment grade.
