Digital citizenship is more than literacy, it is living safely, civilly, and effectively in our increasingly digital world." -cool cat teacher blog<br /></span><br />This is the basis of a lesson I would create for middle school students learning about digital citizenship and ethical use of resources. Because there is more information available than ever before, it is even more important for them to carefully evaluate materials and their own opnions about works by the millions of internet authors. Lessons on ethcially using materials and copyright stem from an understanding of digital citizenship.<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.downes.ca/"><em>Stephen Downes</em></a><em> says, "Indeed, a person who reads a website and concludes that it's true, no matter what it says, is dangerously illiterate."</em></div>Marie http://www.blogger.com/profile/00232112500545527374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467121875891136659.post-62689446506985658242009-08-10T07:28:00.000-07:002009-08-10T07:39:55.863-07:00Thing 10Virtual worlds- I must admit, I have enough to do in the real world, I've always questioned why I'd want to spend time in these virtual ones. So this was an eye opening experience. This <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/second-life-what-is-the-hype/">article </a>helped me see that role playing can be quite educational, if we use virtual worlds not blocked by my district of course.<br />From an elementary perspective, some of these <a href="http://familyinternet.about.com/od/websites/tp/virtualworldskids.htm">virtual worlds </a>are a nice introduction, and this middle school library blog about using <a href="http://ramapoislands.edublogs.org/">second life </a>for class projects is very inspiring. Verdict- I need more experience with this using worlds set up for kids- not really for adults since I can't actually use them through work.Marie http://www.blogger.com/profile/00232112500545527374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467121875891136659.post-1452916412100035202009-08-10T04:47:00.000-07:002009-08-10T04:50:07.466-07:00Thing 9<i><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663366;">Slideshare </span></a></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663366;">is the bomb- it's the ultimate collaboration tool across distances, from two librarians in the same district to a group of kids in different states.

I was not as taken with Twitter at first, but reading the articles presented on how to use it in libraries; and seeing it constantly on television, makes me realize it is quite effective and popular. I am going to try it this year to share information about what's going on in my middle school library! I think it will be a way to share rsources chosen/suggested by the library and teachers, introduce new books and events, and support students' learning.<div>I am already using <a href="http://twitter.com/ldropvintage">twitter </a>for my part time job as vintage online store owner. It's fun to share new information with my tweets (I know I need to be careful and use the correct twitter lexicon).</div><div>The tinychat information was interesting, I know that any chat in my district is blocked, so I will look forward to seeing what they have to say about this option. </div><div>Backchanneling is very interesting...I prefer the idea of backchanneling in large presentations because it seems to include everyone while keeping the flow of the presentation going and giving feedback to the presentor. </div>Marie http://www.blogger.com/profile/00232112500545527374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467121875891136659.post-10017308918800090032009-08-06T17:18:00.000-07:002009-08-06T17:23:05.526-07:00Thing 4<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I think there is a great advantage to having student created work uploaded to teachertube!
