2. “May you live in Interesting Times” When I first heard this quote in the 1994 Movie “Disclosure” it sounded more of a welcoming phrase than a curse. The origin appears to be a Chinese curse: “May you experience much upheaval and trouble in your life” or "It is better to be a dog in a peaceful time than be a man in a chaotic period.“ Perhaps today it is both.

3. What is Digital Citizenship? We define as: The norms appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use. The examples and statistics are showing us that violations in Digital Citizenship are reaching epidemic proportions. Digital Citizenship must become a high priority for educators in the 21st Century.

6. Why is Digital Citizenship Important? Providing the tools without explaining how to use them. Between two generations – one that has watched the growth of technology and one that has not known a world without digital opportunities.

7. Key Questions for today: What are the issues related to Digital Citizenship? How do we identify these issues in an organized manner? How are we going to teach these to our students?

8. Themes of Digital Citizenship  Digital Access  Digital Commerce  Digital Communication  Digital Literacy  Digital Security  Digital Etiquette  Digital Rights and Responsibilities  Digital Law  Digital Health and Welfare

9. Systems approach Once you have an idea of the issues then you can work on solving them. This is the main reason for Digital Citizenship to provide this framework. To understand Digital Citizenship need to be able to see all the parts (The Fifth Discipline, P.Senge, 1990/The World Is Flat, T. Friedman, 2006).

10. The Nine Elements Will go through these elements (with your help) to provide a basic understanding of the issues. Think about your own district/organization and where these elements can fit into your own issues.

11. Digital Law: the legal rights and restrictions governing technology use. April 27, 2007 A MySpace Photo Costs a Student a Teaching Certificate (L. Lessig – Code: Version 2.0, 2006) July 27, 2008 First It Was Song Downloads. Now It’s Organic Chemistry.

20. What Do we do now? Where do we begin? -For some it seems overwhelming, once they see the larger picture of Digital Citizenship -Need to pick which are the points of most issue -Don’t attempt to do all at once, but still need to understand the framework

21. What do we do now? Continued Change in Curriculum -Need to begin thinking differently about learning and how it is done with the technology we have Need to stop working against each other? -IT departments and Teaching and Learning working together. -State and Federal need to coordinate where and how technology should be monitored

22. What do we do now? Continued Involving Parents - Need to make sure parents understand these issues as well. - May not be the same rules between home and school but should have same understanding and terminology. - New book coming out January 2009 - Raising a Digital Child by ISTE’s new production HomePage books.

23. Now to send you forth… Since you now have the basic understanding of digital citizenship, you are no longer immigrants (Prensky) but now are naturalized digital citizens. And now your work begins, so please stand…

24. DC Pledge I, (state your name), understand the issues around the use of technology and want to exhibit legal and ethical behavior, do promise to advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and responsible use of technology. To achieve this I will ensure that others have digital rights, are provided equitable access, promote digital etiquette and responsible social use. I will discuss with students, colleagues, and others about local and global issues and problems related to digital citizenship.
