"Internet Safety and Digital Citizenship are important topics ... it is so integral to what our kids do while they are at school. Whether or not you have a 1:1 program, these are topics that shouldn’t be overlooked! Don’t assume that because your students are fairly savvy when it comes to learning technology, that they will automatically pick up on digital literacy...it is essential that parents learn about digital literacy so that they can echo and enforce good technology use at home"
Beth Dichter's insight:
If you are looking for some great resources for elementary and middle school students that look at issues involved in digital literacy this post may be just what you are looking for. The post is divided into five sections: * Online identity * What to do * Digital footprint * Cyber Bullying * Online Privacy Each section has a list of resources split into elementary and middle school as well as a description of the topic area. Also included are resources to assist with Online Discernment (think about how many students tell you that if it is online it must be true!) as well as teacher resources and lesson plans.

"This infographic flyer was created to put important digital footprint information in one place in a graphically pleasing format. Take a look and let me know what you think."
Beth Dichter's insight:
If you are discussing digital citizenship with your students this infographic is worth checking out. It combines a variety of resources, including a number of videos, best practices to create your digital identity (beginning at age 13), using social media to show your voice and much more.

Positive ways for young people to look at building their online profile plus reasons for being "real". |
Looks better for K - 8 teachers than high school (myself). I do like the week plan of 5 days of focus on digital literacy!
This is an excellent collection of resources, split into age groups and a suggested order of activities. It is an American site, but I like how they have picked up on the cybersmart resource put out by the Australian Government. I would add another one to the list: the resources made by CommonSense Media. These are great too, and Prendiville's digital citizenship unit is based on them.
