@smilelearning @CommonSenseEd One of the most difficult concepts for students to understand is the digital footprint. The Technology Tail by Julia Cook helps students grasp the concept.

[Ms. Alden @MsAldenLibrary]

A5: I always begin with picture books/articles/videos that highlight #digcit. My students enjoy the @CommonSenseEd lessons. #Nearpodchat

[Ms. Alden @MsAldenLibrary]

@smilelearning @Buncee @CommonSenseEd Do I need a subscription to @Buncee to use the #digcit templates?

[Ms. Alden @MsAldenLibrary]

@smilelearning @nikorawrs @m_drez @DeannPoleon @mbfxc @nearpod @iste This is fabulous. Thank you for sharing.

[Ms. Alden @MsAldenLibrary]

A4: My students love choosing an author on Twitter and evaluating their tweets using our digital citizenship language. We then follow it up with tweeting questions written by students. Meaningful and engaging. #nearpodchat

@KaitlynQuick14 So important!! Today I taught my second grade students about a digital footprint. I shared my digital footprint. The focus was very positive. #Nearpodchat

[Ms. Alden @MsAldenLibrary]

@smilelearning I agree! Modeling the positive behaviors is so important.
Today I shared my digital footprint with my second grade students. They learned a lot about me. #Nearpodchat

[Ms. Alden @MsAldenLibrary]

A2: Incorporating digital citizenship into my library media program, students are learning to question what they see online, collaborate respectfully and select appropriate sources to support their inquiry research. #NearpodChat

[Ms. Alden @MsAldenLibrary]

A1: Digital Citizenship is the safe, responsible and respectful use of technology. #NearpodChat
