Digital+Footprint

[|David Jakes Presentation Resources - Perspectives on 21st Century Learning] How do we help kids publish online?

1. Do they want to publish online? Are they ready personally? 2. What policies does my school have regarding online publishing?

What is a digital footprint? -everything about you on the web, whether it is created by you or others

Kids get online before school-
 * Webkins
 * Potropia


 * kids don't Blog or Wiki because they don't know how. We need to teach them

Kids web use falls into 2 categories: 1. Friendship based 2, Interest based

As educators, we need to add a category 3: Academic based

The 5 enduring skills in most "physical" classrooms are: 1. Collaboration 2. Research 3. Creativity 4. Critical thinking 5. Citizenship

We need to apply these to the "digital" space that provides a new context for these skills //__Technology skills__// should not be confused with //__technology literacy.__ Students should not only be able to use applications (skills), but 21st century students should be able to read, write, and communicate on the web. //
