How To Tackle Digital Citizenship During The First 5 Days Of School - Edudemic - Edudemic
"Digital citizenship is not a one time discussion. It is an ongoing process that needs to be taught to all grade levels and to all stakeholders. The problem is that things are changing so rapidly that it is difficult for everyone to keep up to date with the trends. Everyone has to be educated and develop an understanding of the role digital citizenship plays in our everyday lives. There is so much that goes into being a digital citizen; from taking photos of others to knowing when it is appropriate to share something online."

The Teacher's Guide To Keeping Students Safe Online - Edudemic - Edudemic
"Most students are familiar with and active users of mobile technology. While it does facilitate sharing and knowledge exchange, it can be a dangerous tool if improperly used. By this I mean students using their smartphones (or dumbphones, for that matter) to share things they would never normally share. From inappropriate comments to sexting, it’s a dangerous minefield."

Twitter is definitely one of the most popular tool for teachers professional development. Education communities are filling the tweeting space #edchat, #edtech are but some examples. It might be because of its simplicity and ease of use that teachers flock to it , others attribute it to the the brevity of its messages but no matter what the reasons are, Twitter has become not only an effective communicational platform for teachers and educators from all around the globe but also an affinity space where these people get to meet each other, talk and discuss current issues in education and most important of all share and learn from each other's expertise.

How will you prepare for your 1:1 classroom this year?
- Twitter Hashtags: Using the search tool in Twitter, you can find some great resources by using a hashtag. You don’t need to have a Twitter account. Hashtags are the words with a # sign in front of them. They help organize the vast amounts of information on Twitter. One of the more popular education hashtags in #edchat, but there are also many hashtags organized around curriculum subjects and grade levels. Here is a list to get you started.
- Blogs: Look over some of the posts in the Microsoft Community blog to get some ideas for the opening days of school. Keep an ongoing journal of ideas.
- Collaborative Projects: Make connections with another teacher in another school (you may have a friend that works in a different district or you can look for international teachers in the Microsoft Community directory online). Try planning an online collaborative project together or join in on one. It can be as simple as comparing two towns to practicing another language with students from another country.
- NETS: Look over the National Educational Technology Standards. How will you promote Digital Age Learning in your classroom?
- Common Core: Many resources are now available for aligning the Common Core using technology.
- Digital Citizenship: Take a look at Common Sense Media. They have great lesson plans for promoting positive digital citizenship and digital literacy.
