We launched digital citizenship my world for 9-12... passport to the internet; through learn alberta...

We were not talking about narrative, ways to do PDs... Wine and laptops... and we'll be doing that... digital citizenship...our district has implemented units in our religious studies courses... places where digital citizenship, dovetails with citizenship...

Descriptive feedback in all of these projects, finding time for that...

Understanding of the power of the media presentation... set up with a purpose, make it transparent, so they can be part of the assessment as well...

Idea of breaking down b etween the tech and teacher... ways to get our techs involved in the curriculum... i teach physics... alredy started drafting in physics 20

How we can incoorpoate into math equataions... students narrating that... also in to social studies, complete timeline of an historical period... history of a culture narrated...
Two things: English as second lanuage... lang experience approach... can help them acuire lang more quickly thorugh personal experience; can apply with mobile devices. Also, it is tsunami of apps... help teachers start with one app... try something small, there will be less resistence... small bytes...

Our school division asks principals to do review before the board... say what they will do next year... going to use digital storytelling to do that...

simplied list in creating a story with students... like the story map...

Stop thinking about the wow factor, really looking at the content and what they are choosing to put in their digital stories..

EVery concern is a goal... finding tools for good solutions... for teachers want to do with students... instead of knee jerk why we cant, find out how we can...

Story table.... helpful

Storytellig int eh classroom, can use simple technology, to learn about story and storytelling...

Hello this is our blog on digital citizenship

Students who are using Proxy avoidance tools to get around school filters; consequences... case by case basis.

Teacher concern- with all the various tools out there in terms of students creating and demonstrating their learning how do we manage that in terms of their not getting lost in the tools, and finding tools that are right for them. Solution: we don't know. What are our top ten list of things we use: Google docs, Presi, Photoshory, Google presentation, Goanimate.com, iMovie, Smart Notebook and Google Sites.

Nancy Willard's disinhibition, laying bare the facts, showing the printscreen, D2L, showing transcripts of the page going back and forth between the students; showing that to students, parents. This behavior did change. no substitute for the filter between their two ears. Personal pref- no filters, up to teachers to walk about.

We talked about social networking issues, like Facebook, meanness, cyberbullying, and what we won't say to each other f-to-f but will online; I showed them videos that are in your face. Video was about sexting... I actually stop the video, and have them respond to "what should you do here?" Find the videos at Netsmartz.org/reallifestories.

We story about sharing your password. Family member's email password stolen. Like best friends share their locker combination, now share passwords. Got in the wrong hands. Person was using it, putting hateful messages with my family member's account. Got the police involved, and principal; everything was reset.

Cell phone use in the classroom. Was an anti- until you can see what it can do. Put the cell phones etc in the "box"... during exams. Use same guidelines as Alberta Ed... if it falls out of pocket, get a zero. they can have cell phone on desks upside during class. If they need it they have it right here.

We talked about whose responsibility it is... K through highschool... plagiarize ... assume teachers have citing skills; but not necessarily true. Where do we teach them that and are we modeling it?

Emerging issue with iPads; 18 that students share. We have a privacy issue there.
