Hi Cheryl,
John Spencer always writes really interesting posts. I often find myself considering new ideas and perspectives when reading his blog!
So glad to hear the poster is going to be useful in your classroom.
Enjoy!

Hi Kaththleen,
Thanks for the post. As an art teacher, I particulary enjoyed reading the comments from John Spencer about creativity. I plan to display the .pdf poster of 8 ways to use blogging/ digital citizenship in my art classroom. This will help students to navigate through their life as a digital consumer/citizen.

In reply to Kris Edwards. Hi Kris, I'm glad this post gave you some new food for thought! It probably is a good idea to have both spontaneous mini lessons as things come up, and plan for more directed conversations, as you said. I'm sure the students would really get a lot out of that approach. Good luck!

I have never thought of blogging as a way to have ongoing conversations about digital citizenship before. Not only can you support tons of standards in many different content areas through blogging, we can also support essential skills for students in this area. Sometimes in blogging with students some of these things naturally come up, but I love the thought of planning specifically for conversations around digital citizenship as it relates to my students. Thank you!

I was working out how to ask permission to use your infographic before I was halfway through the post. Thank you for providing a way your readers could use it.
Great info in the post too. Thank you.

In reply to stephanie krafft. Hi Stephanie, it can certainly be hard for students (and adults) to think about the future implications of their actions. Hopefully some regular discussions and activities can help!

You’re right, Suzanne. It is such an important topic and that’s great to hear you’ll be able to incorporate some of this material into your classes!

I found this to be quite interesting and am going to incorporate some it in my Social Studies classes. Students seem to be under the impression that what they put out there will only be between them and their friends. Knowing about digital footsteps and copyright issues will go a long way to ensure students safety and well being.

Teaching digital citizenship is so important. Kids don’t realize that what they say and do online can affect them negatively down the road. As much as kids use the internet and see other people making negative comments and material, it is easy for them to accept that as the norm. They need understand how their actions an affect others and themselves down the road.
