Ideas for Digital Citizenship PBL Projects | Edutopia

Ideas for Digital Citizenship PBL Projects | Edutopia

Once again, we are reminded of the important role educators have when dealing with Digital Citizenship. This is a great article by Andrew Miller, Educause Educational Consultant and Online Eucator

I will quote the following:
a. Advocate and practice safe, legal and responsible use of information and technology.
b. Exhibit a positive attitude toward using technology that supports collaboration, learning and productivity.
c. Demonstrate personal responsibility for lifelong learning.
d. Exhibit leadership for digital citizenship.
I would like to know if you agree/disagree or would like to add your thoughts on the article. Thank you!

The Internet Breaks School Walls Down | Edutopia

The Internet Breaks School Walls Down | Edutopia

Hi Everyone!

Thank you for attending my session earlier today at the ALT Conference. As requested by some of you, here is another great article (although a few years old) by Will Richardson / Edutopia on the Web2.0 -- I hope you will find some of the information of interest to you.

Will Richardson is the author of the book I mentioned in my presentation: "Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms."

When you have time, I would like to know which one of the 10 tools covered earlier today would be of most interest to you as an educator. I welcome your thoughts!
