Podcast on Digital Citizenship

In my class, emerging instructional technologies, we are doing a group 3-day unit that will incorporate technology to help the students learn deeper. We have chosen digital technology.

This podcast is an interview of Dr. Mark Ribble by Wesley Fryer. In this podcast, Dr. Ribble defines digital citizenship and discusses its importance in schools.

One thing that I liked that was mentioned was that often we give students "thou shalt nots". To correctly teach students about digital citizenship, the students need to learn how to correctly use the medias. This is also accomplished by modeling the correct use.

Mark Ribble also listed other areas of digital citizenship besides safety. While it is a part of it, there are other areas.
