John Fenaughty - Digital Citizenship

What are the Key Concepts relating to Digital Citizenship

Responsible Use - providing opportunities for responsible use 
Peoples rights in all spaces
Respects rights of society
Respectfully
Filters and monitoring within a school

Reducing risks
BYOD - Bring in an environment to a school. - needs rules and guidance
Think strategically about the change  - Schools plan for potential 
Whanau/Staff need good guidance and direction

What can we do about it in our practice 
Need an advocate for Digital Citizenship to be effective in your school 
Think about how and who teaches this
We need to build capacity to create staff confidence 

Needs to be a living activity within the school environment where everyone, staff, parents etc are on the same page and giving the same message 

Linking their Responsible use agreements to the school vision and values 

Focus on a values approach to Digital Literacy and Competencies 

Does information overloading change behaviour or does building responsibilities 

How can we create the behavour change in digital Citizenship. We need children to think critically in classroom practice

What does effective citizenship look like, feel like etc   

Swimming Pool
If a child might drown, take away the pool
When applied to Digital devices - need to foster and engage, and play around, learn from the mistakes when they are young before they are let go

Children are in charge of their behaviour, living the beliefs every day
Use mistakes as learning opportunities in a school setting 


What does digital Digital Citizenship mean to me. 
To be a Digital Citizen we need to develop responsible users with use links to our school values and vision, while linking in the NZC Key Competencies
