Standard IV:
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 practice.
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-center strategies 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 culture understanding and global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of other cultures using digital age communication and collaboration tools
Reflection
This standard discusses three factors (legal, etiquette, and behavior) that must be considered when teachers implement technologies in the classroom. An acceptable use policy at most schools and districts addresses these three factors when incorporating technology. The legal factor addresses students' accessibility, the protection from inappropriate sites, and protection from possible dangerous internet predators. The social factor protect students from cyber bullying, monitors students' usage and evaluates what is appropriate for sharing on social media. The ethical factor addresses the need for freedom of speech, academic honesty and students' personal privacy. The teacher has the responsibility to educate students on the proper use of the Internet. There are several tools such as blogs, PowerPoint, Google.docs, websites (Thinglink, Scoopit), where teachers can monitor students collaboration and accessibility. This monitoring also offer teachers opportunities to make necessary correction on content that violates legal, etiquette or behavior factors.
Artifacts
1. Blogs
2. Google.docs (slides, gradebook)
3. Thinglink
4. Scoopit
Future learning goals
The disclosure of content on social media has become a topic of contention for schools that use these tools. Digital responsibility is an important aspect of teacher's purview in governing student's access to the web. Blogs, Google.docs, ThingLink, and Scoopit are all tools that teachers can control by creating topics and webpages specifically designed to monitor students' access. In the future, I will ensure that an acceptance use policy disclose what is required from students in using online tools, alone with signatures required from each student stating their understanding of the policy. As a teacher in a leadership role I will set the example in protecting the legal, social and behavior aspects of digital technology. Digital citizenship is important for the 21st century student, and as a teacher I will do my best to ensure students are protected by continuously monitoring the sites that I recommend for class.
