Digital Citizenship in RUSD
2016-2017
Activities
As part of our Digital Citizenship awareness and instruction each year, we will be focusing on 2 aspects of digital citizenship: Information Literacy and Relationships & Communication. All students grades TK-12 will engage in lessons on these 2 topics.
Information Literacy:
According to Common Sense Media, "Information Literacy includes the ability to identify, find, evaluate, and use information effectively. From effective search strategies to evaluation techniques, students learn how to evaluate the quality, credibility, and validity of websites, and give proper credit." For this component of digital citizenship, we are striving to ensure that our students are able to use digital tools to effectively seek out and use information. In a global, 21st century environment, this is a very important skill for students to have as these are the type of things they will be asked to do in their future endeavors.
Relationships and Communication:
For the Relationships and Communication aspect of digital citizenship, Common Sense Media: "Students reflect on how they can use intrapersonal and interpersonal skills to build and strengthen positive online communication and communities. They delve into the concept of digital citizenship and digital ethics, and they reflect on their online interactions.
