the term "digital citizenship" seems to have been hi jacked by internet safety. Isn't citizenship so much more than this, digital or otherwise?

the focus should not only be on digital safety which of course is a large part of digital citizenship but includes so much more, like for example; digital communication, digital literacy and digital access. Digital citizenship as a subject at school was created as more than just finger wagging and more about education and infomation which in turn leads to good choices and the ability to be safe. Safety is a bonus which comes through following all aspects of digital citizenship. The school and library can be a safe place where digital information is accessed accurately and students have the ability to acquire new knowledge

Simply put, students suffer when they don’t have adequate resources—and, in particular, we’ve found that student achievement suffers when schools lack libraries that are staffed by full-time librarians. “Nearly every public school in Bucks, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties has a library with certified staff, which has been proven to increase student reading and comprehension,” notes Kintisch. “In contrast, most public schools in Philadelphia do not employ a certified librarian, and more than 140 do not have a library.” Via Dennis T OConnor, Sara Kelly Johns

Kieth Curry Lance's decade long research studies established (beyond any doubt) that a professionally staffed library is essential for student achievement. It never hurts to be shown the obvious truth (over and over again). When will the decision makers stop the lip service and pay attention to the research? School Libraries and Librarians WORK!

Getting kids to really focus on what exactly they are searching for, and then be able to further distill idea into a few key specific search terms is a skill that we must teach students, and we have to do it over and over again. We never question the vital importance of teaching literacy, but we have to be mindful that there are many kinds of “literacies”. An ever more important one that ALL teachers need to be aware of is digital literacy.
