Dear Teachers,

Next week is Digital Citizenship week.  All the schools in our District will be participating in Digital Citizenship Week on some level next week and into October.  If your classroom instructional week is totally booked next week, please try to fit in teaching your students about being safe, responsible and ethical in the digital world during the month of October.  There are three focus areas recommended:  Password Safety, Cyberbullying and Online Health.  TTSD has adopted the Common Sense Media curriculum for teaching Digital Citizenship.  Here is the attached link to the lessons.  Please use these as starting points and adjust as needed for your students:

Sample Schedule (feel free to adjust to fit your needs):

Day	Topic	Lesson Idea
Monday	Password Safety	Common Sense Media -Lesson1
Tuesday	Cyberbullying	Common Sense Media - Lesson 3
Wednesday	Online Health & Wellness	Discussion about screen time and being physically active.  See resources below.

Here are a few links to resources and short videos that fit nicely with the above lessons:

Each morning next week on the announcements Ann will read a technology tip.  Please have your students listen for it and briefly discuss it.  Please also include a little blurb in your classroom newsletter sometime in October letting your families know what students are learning about being safe, responsible and ethical in the digital world.  

Sample Newsletter Blurb (feel free to cut & paste into your newsletter):

This week (month) is Digital Citizenship week (month.)  Students have been learning about being safe, responsible and ethical in the digital world.  We discussed why it is important to not share our private information, such as our full name, password, address and phone number with people that we don't know.  We also learned about cyberbullying, and that we should always use kind words and comments when posting online.  Lastly, we learned just how important it is to balance our time online.  We need to limit our screen time and make sure we are being physically active too.

The technology team met and went over lots of items.    ....he technology team sent a school wide e-mail with links to the DC lessons, some i-pad usage/care posters, and the ambassador made video.  I'm hoping to get some parent letters home either via print or e-mail as well as tips on the morning announcements.

Thanks for sending us posters.  I will make sure they are posted around the school for next week

We ordered the posters.  They should be arriving soon.

I like the template we have for k-5.  The announcements are a great idea as well as parent resources.  We are going to send the teachers the address for Digital Dreaming Lessons.  Maybe everyone could show a video or do a lesson on digital

Posters have been delivered.  Information will be shared on announcements next week.  Teachers will be showing videos, doing lessons in digital citizenship.  All good.  Teachers will be sharing information at conferences about how we are being digital citizens.

Digital Communication

It’s Digital Citizenship Week! We will be sending you some quotes and resources to help bring attention to this topic throughout the week.

Digital Citizenship is composed of 9 elements.  One element is Digital Communication:

Proper Digital Communication:

The ability to associate with other people online in a way that is safe, appropriate, and beneficial to the online community.

Tips for Proper Digital Communication:

• Remember that every thing you post or send online has a record. Even when something such as an email or blog post has been deleted, there is usually still a digital record. Be smart. Do not post or send anything that you may want to later get rid of.
• Think positively. Negative posts towards a person or association of people can cause a number of negative side affects. Also, do not personally attack or hurt another individual emotionally. Think before you send.
• Do not post your personal information. While today's society revolves around social media and sharing, remember that anything you post online can be accessed by a number of people. Abstain from giving out your personal information or phone number to outside resources or strangers.
• Use technology at the proper time. When in the work place, classroom, or social situations, it is often thought of as rude or inappropriate to have out a cell phone or to be on a social networking site. Keep personal digital communication such as texting, tweeting, or IMing to a minimum within any type of formal setting.
• Do not add a friend or follower request from someone that you do not know. Though you may have a mutual contact, there is no sure way to determine whether or not they are a safe source
