What students do and post online has real-life consequences. It’s on us to teach them that.

GREAT Opinion Article by by @Luvvie

"But for your average teen, a quick class in the rules of online conduct could mean the difference between a youthful indiscretion kept private and a life derailed by immaturity that became public"

"Like it or not, today's students are not just citizens. They are "digital" citizens. This means that educators need to spend time with students on ensuring they know how to be responsible online."

SWEET! Must to share w/ my teachers!

Beth Dichter's curator insight, August 20, 2014 11:06 PM

In this post Lisa Neilson shares a great activity to help students learn more about digital citizenship.

There are five steps, which begin with the students thinking about their online reputation and coming up with a sentence that describes it in 140 characters or less.

* Students them would then go to Animoto and create a 30 second video using images that help illustrate their sentence (Steps 2 and 3 in the post).

* Videos would then be uploaded to Padlet.

*Have a movie screening so the students can see others work.

There is much more information in the post and I would urge you to check out the link to the New York City Department of Education Social -  Media page for additional resources.
