It’s amazing what a graphic can do. Teaching digital citizenship is now a requirement in my school district. With little to no explanation of what this actually means, teachers are left to their own devices. We were given a powerpoint and that’s it. I really appreciated the graphic included in the digital life skills article. It makes it easy to understand the different components of digital citizenship and would be a useful tool to use to ensure lessons clear and focused. I am excited to share this with teachers who are feeling stressed and overwhelmed at the prospect of teaching yet another thing. This graphic was designed so nicely, I didn’t even feel like they needed the extra text descriptions that followed. It reminded me of when I was doing my mediated writing project and was making decisions about how much information a photo, video, etc. could carry and project.

a powerpoint? Oh my.
If you haven’t discovered Common Sense Media yet, there are good resources there for teaching most of these things, by grade level. It’s a place to start.
