Tool 11: Digital Citizenship

I, as a prek teacher, going to explain my vision of digital citizenship.

At beginning the students do not know the PC, so we introduce the PC, all the components and its function, and we explain How we have to take care of our "great tool" in order all the students can use them. Here we teach respect for our PC and all facilities.

- All the students has free access with the teacher user-name and password, so this is not a prek issue.
- We encourage the most advanced students to help the others. We model the way the students have to ask for help and how the advanced student could help.
- All the student have to use the PC and IPods, so every student will use these devices and that will share with others.
- we explain the student the possibilities to learn with electronic devices as PC and IPods's. We show them How they can learn by watching videos or by listening or interacting with software by picking the correct answer or coloring drawings. The technology in for learning too, not for music or video musical videos only.

In preK we teach the basics of a good citizen, so after that, we transfer this knowledge to digital citizenship. Respect to you and each other, respect for the facilities, correct use of the devises, etc.
