Digital+Citizenship+Resources

We chose staff as our primary audience, but realized that educating the staff and parents must include educating the students as well. We decided to recommend that the district implement CyberSmart, a free curriculum resourse that also offers online professional development for a fee. The Attorney General's Office is sponsoring a Cyber Safety Week, October 3rd - 9th. We have ordered some sample resources.
 * Digital Citizenship Resources**

**CyberSmart** - Covers safety and security online, manner and cybercitizenship. Other components may fall outside the scope of our project, but are good for project expansion. Here is their Professional Development model that goes along with the student curriculum. While the curriculum is free and also available through NetTrekker, the professional development has a fee associated with it. [|CyberSmart Pedagogical_Model.pdf]

Additional resources were evaluated for secondary students. These included: Digital Citizenship and Creative Content - Geared for JH/HS with a focus on creative content NetSmartz - The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children have assembled resources for a variety of audiences with the goal of educating, engaging and empowering. The focus of these materials is on Internet safety. Digital Citizenship and Literacy - Looks like it is still under development, but very promising. Here is a sample of the first unit they've posted.

Digital Citizenship in Schools is Mike Ribble's book published in 2007. It is available on Amazon for $23. I also found it for free through the database EBSCOHost. You can get the book there in a series of PDFs--chapter by chapter. I downloaded them all. It really looks like a resource we should think about using. What do you guys think? Email me if you can't find the source and would like me (Betsy) to forward you a chapter. Here's the table of contents: Chapter 1: The Basics of Digital Citizenship Chapter 2: The Nine Elements of Digital Citizenship (same as the blog link above) Section 2: Digital Citizenship in Schools Chapter 3: Creating a Digital Citizenship Program Chapter 4: Professional Development Activities in Digital Citizenship Chapter 5: Teaching Digital Citizenship to Students Chapter 6: Foundational Lessons in Digital Citizenship Chapter 7: Guided Lessons in Digital Citizenship
