There is no Digital Immigrant and Digital Native any more, just those that choose to learn about technology and those that do not. Kids are not better at technology, they just are not afraid to try

My Definition: The norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use.

THE LBPSB DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP PROGRAM JOURNEY BY TANYA AVRITH, KIM MELDRUM AND MICHEAL CHECHILE THE LESTER B. PEARSON SCHOOL BOARD IS THE LARGEST ENGLISH PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC, CANADA. Year 1: Vision Development -- First established what our vision for technology as a tool for teaching and learning within our educational setting should look like. Vision needed to be clearly articulated Critical task was to address a critically honest examination of what our district’s technology looked like at that time. Our District was 'locked down' at that time. Developed collaboratively, a well thought out and widely shared plan. Examine the current practices of our district by establishing a set of sub committees that would allow for discussion by all stakeholder groups.

Year two: Be proactive - not reactive Open up filters and educate all stakeholders on the importance of being proactive - not reactive Educate teachers on what technology as an educational tool looks like and how to develop teaching and learning opportunities for all Students Community outreach to sensitize people as to why it is important to teach using technology, not ban it. We asked our community partners what they would like our students to have learned before entering the workforce. Opportunities for students who live in the digital age.

Year three: Increase student agency and focus and increase the number educators using social media for educational purposes. Ultimately to transform learning for all our students! Schools began to include their students in the process Students were involved in the creation of their own acceptable use guidelines which resulted in developing a positive digital citizenship culture in their respective schools when they were consistent from year to year

THE LBPSB DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP PROGRAM JOURNEY BY TANYA Example #2: The LBPSB Digital Citizenship Program Journey by Tanya Avrith, Kim Meldrum and Micheal Chechile Acceptable Use Guidelines - Lesson Plan Rationale: As you embark on your journey with technology it is always important to remember the role of digital citizenship. The following lesson provides you with ideas and strategies on how to develop acceptable use guidelines with your students. It is important that this be done with your students and that it is done at the beginning of every year. Keep in mind that framing the guidelines in positive language tends to be better received and followed. Day 1 (One Period) 1.Have class discussion about how they will have access to technology. 2.What does that mean? What sorts of things will you be doing? What do you think you will have access to? 3.Break students into groups of 3-4. Have the following questions available to each group. The students will be required to respond to the questions orally, but then they or one of them will need to record their responses to be handed in.

 The Macbook computers are intended and should be used as tools for student success in their school work while attending SAMPLE High School.  The students, as the owners of the Macbook computers, are responsible for all repairs.  The students must not remove any software installed by the school or the SAMPLE School Board.  It is strongly recommended that students back up their work on a regular basis.  The school board, teachers, school administrators may, with justification, monitor user activity on the laptops, examine files, etc., search computers, etc. (i.e. Online bullying)  Teachers are in charge of their classrooms and will decide if and when and how students should be using their Macbook computers during class time.
