Digital Citizenship

 

Digital citizenship has become evident in schools. Students are now starting to learn while using technology. I have said before that with todays’ technology, students can learn from the comfort of their home. Face to face instruction is not necessary the only way to learn in the 21st century. The ISTE standards give a plethora of digital tools that can be used to access induvial learning skills ("Know the ISTE StandardsT 3: Model digital age learning," n.d.). It also gives teachers ideas and strategies on what to use for their students. Digital citizenship is for every student at every grade level. Meaning, students as young as pre-school can use technology to learn.

“All students need digital citizenship skills to participate fully in their communities and make smart choices online and in life” (Digital Citizenship, 2020). This will allow students to engage in learning on their individual instructional level. Teachers need to share with students how to protect their passwords and practice protecting their information online. They also need to go over personal information, photographs, permission, professionalism, and property (What your students really need to know about digital citizenship, 2014). Using digital tools allows students to be active and gain experience. I believe students learn better when they are given the opportunity to experience what they are learning.

Security data and Student Privacy

  Student privacy is a big deal and protecting it is important. Students need to fill safe when roaming the internet and putting their personal information online. It is important because every company uses online data to gather information. For example, just about every job requires people to apply online and submit their personal information, such as social security number, name, mailing address, and date of birth. So, we must be extremely careful when online. Therefore, safeguarding the websites is important. “ We argue that technological measures should provide transparency about data uses, provide accountability for algorithmic decisions, and ensure the security of learners’ data” (Reidenberg & Schaub, 2018). In the future, I can see how not honoring privacy can lead to additional fines and harsher sentences from the federal courts. Students learning now comes from technology. They use certain apps to help them better understand the content. So, the apps that they use ne...

Technology Demonstration

  I choose kahoot because I thought it would be a fun and interactive game for my students. Also, since we are currently learning virtually my students have either access to a phone, tablet, or laptop. This gives them further practice with working with technology. This was effective because it’s a review of the exact quiz they will be taking. I would keep using kahoot as long as we are virtual because this is something that my students loved and it was effective.
