Students and Digital Footprint

What are students doing at school to develop their digital footprint?

--- Dovetails on portfolios -- Kids are creating files. Most content creation is reactive -- facebook issues -- need more Internet safety stuff. Presumed behavioral expectation. Have not had a place to host things. We have not encourage faculty to create content. Teachers will post these. Third year

Academic integrity statement: Tie it into that -- if you're using something other than Creative Commons, BUT, make sure you say where it came from.

Implications of copyright -- Walled garden is safe, but does it teach?

Is a creative assignment squashed by talking about copyright and creative commons?

When should we be encouraging students to do this?

Is Google Your Resume?

Bill Teachers: Collaborative Digital Media -- MS first name and last initial --

Peter -- Do we want to manage the tracks that are left? --or-- Are we talking about strategies to create a mark with purpose and intent online?

He challenged his 5th graders to edit wikipedia and create/edit a page.

Russell -- How do we help them

Laura -- When they do leave footprints they know what they do? Create commercials for the Dewey decimal systems. Could not post online.

Randi -- Communication/Arts rotation -- Privacy Online -- Google yourself: Expectation that all content that is digital to publish online?

Alex -- How are you creating your digital footprint?

Allyson -- Name changed -- PK-5 -- How do you deal with privacy? Hates the idea of what they create as a Lower School be there for the rest of their lives.

Wendy - 5-8: Looking at Digital Footprints and where these fit in -- Cybersmart Curriculum. Appropriate voice. Shelfari -- Social networking for books. Facebook: Wikis -- private wikis -- Class discussions and they treat them as public. How do you use your content?

How are we educating parents?

There is an introductory reference page on Creative Commons I created for 8th graders here. I've used it with parts of the PowerPont slide deck found [|here]. - Bill

[|Digiteen Project] - international project for grades 6 to 9 where students collaborate with students from others school on creating Wikipedia like articles on various digital citizenship topics. Students also produce an action project with the goal of teaching others at their school something about digital citizenship. There is potential here to give students a structured opportunity to use social networking and other online collaborative tools in meaningful way. The project results and most of the conversations are all public by design. Students in my 8th grade course are participating in this in Fall 2010. - Bill
