Digital citizens

What does a digital citizen look like?  Using Hector's World that has catchy and relevant video clips explaining what digital awareness is helped us to unpack digital citizenship.

Using the printable booklets from Hector's World as part of our reading programme has helped children make meaningful connections that comes with integration as well as providing engaging, purposeful and authentic learning experiences.

We have begun to create posters using Comic Life explaining how to be safe on the internet that we will share with other classrooms.  I'd like to make eye popping posters using pic collage now that I have found you can save a bunch of photos to google docs and download them using google drive app!  Hallelujah!!

At the last Hector's World clip we created Our Discoveries and Wonderings as well as commenting on our blog post  how to be safe on the internet allowed us to practice what we have learnt.

I personally think this is something that needs to be built into our teaching programme each year and revisited throughout the year until it becomes second nature to the children, parents and staff.  What are your thoughts?
