Why is it important to teach digital citizenship?
I think it is important to teach digital citizenship to students to keep them safe on the internet. If we teach students the right steps to making good choices on the internet it will lead to them being respectful of themselves and others while on their devices. Students will also be able to make safe and appropriate choices. It is also important to teach students about online bullying and how to prevent it and report it. If we teach digital citizenship students will be able to know the impact they have on the internet and what their own digital footprint is.
How might you teach digital citizenship in an elementary classroom?
There are several ways to teach digital citizenship in an elementary classroom. One way would be to have a poster of the seven rules hanging in the classroom. Every time we are going to be doing an activity online point out the poster and remind all students to follow those rules. I also think to teach this I could find some sort of video for elementary aged students about digital citizenship. A video would be useful to show how people are impacted by others digital footprints and online bullying. Another way to teach digital citizenship would be as a teacher model the rules of digital citizenship on a regular basis.
