October 18, 2017
October 16-20 is Digital Citizenship Week. The Tennessee Educational Technology Association (TETA) and the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) challenge students, educators, and parents to spend some time this week exploring the meaning of Digital Citizenship and its effects on student success in our increasingly digital world.
JCS Teachers, please reach out to Amy Sharp or Deedra Hillard if you would like support integrating digital citizenship into your daily instructional plans.
Following are a few ideas and resources to get you started:

The following resources were taken directly from an email that I received today from the Tennessee Educational Technology Association (TETA), our state International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Affiliate.
- Release of Digital Citizenship in Action: Empowering Students to Engage in Online Communitiesa book by Kristen Mattson, Ed.D., that focuses on the need for educators to think about digital citizenship as more than a conversation about online safety. Included are tips for creating digital spaces where students can experiment and grow, educator stories about successful participatory digital citizenship and classroom-ready activities.
- DigCit Coffee Break email course that gives educators a tip a day on digital citizenship, along with free resources to use in their schools, including a printable poster illustrating the three critical elements of digital citizenship based on the ISTE Standards for Students.
- Two digital citizenship Twitter chats on Oct. 19 that allow for engagement and sharing of best practices and resources. The first will be led by Marialice Curran, a leading voice in the digital citizenship conversation, at 8 p.m. EDT using the hashtag#ISTEChat. The second, hosted by ISTE’s Digital Citizenship professional learning network, will discuss the role of edtech coaches in the development of digital citizenship, at 9 p.m. EDT using the hashtag #digcit.
