Digital+Citizenship


 * Midlothian ISD **


 * Learning Communities Designed for Improving Instructional Technology **

Subject Addressed: **Digital Citizenship**

Volunteers for this learning community will:

· determine appropriate communication options to promote group discussion (including online and/or face-to-face opportunities)

· list recommended solutions and resources for addressing the essential question

· present the findings to the LMS/CTL/DTL/TT team. Meeting will be held on March 21, 4:00 – 6:00 in room 126 at Admin.


 * Essential Question: ** Using the new Technology Application TEKS addressing //Digital Citizenship// as a guideline, how can we feature Cyber Safety at the campus and/or district levels?

1) After vertical alignment of the new TA TEKS, a scope and sequence of when specifc skills should be introduced and reinforced should be created.
===2) Collaborative teams on each campus made up of CTLs, Campus Tech Committees (or comparable campus leadership teams), and LMS will recommend whether direct instruction in regard to cyber safety will occur in the regular classroom, library, or a specific content area.===

Questions we still have? How will curriculum be chosen or created?(see resources below) Will the new TA TEKS mean we need new/revised AUP?

Other Suggestions:
 * Set the curriculum/lessons up using LiveBinder.
 * Set the curriculum/lessons up using Project Share.

__Leadership Team Discussion__
I think this is a great place to utilize Project Share. We can create lessons for teachers to access through out the year to present to their students and it can be updated and stay in one location. Who is with me to create a course in Project Share? : )  I've heard comments that project share isn't that easy to navigate.....What about creating our own LiveBinder categorized by grade level(s) with sequenced lessons/activities? I'm not familiar with Project Share nor have I tried to create my own Live Binder but I'm willing to help put something together no matter what it is. The Live Binders below seem to be well put together and may be an easy way to create something for the district, broken up into sections. Terrell

The goodworkproject link deals specifically with high school students, but there is some good info here. http://www.goodworkproject.org/practice/our-space/

**Possible ways to feature Cyber Safety at the campus level include:** **1) Vertically align TEKS that address Digital Citizenship and Cyber Safety.** **2) Establish a scope and sequence of when specific skills/content will be introduced and reinforced.** **2) Collaboration between CTLs, LMS, and Tech Committee on each campus to determine whether direct instruction in regard to Cyber Safety will occur in regular classroom, library setting, or specific content areas; and determine how skills/content will be reinforced.** **3) Locate materials or online interactive modules to use in instruction**
