Gridizenship, Citizenship** (Vicky Davis, Anne Collier, Marianne Malmstrom, Bron Stuckey)

Digital Citizenship is not rocket science. It is based on kindness and respect for one another online and off-line. It is social literacy.

Critical thinking and ethical choices about the content and impact on oneself, others, and one’s community of what one sees, says, and produces with media and technology.

Pillars of citizenship of learning Infrastructure Practice Guidance

INFRASTRUCTURE: Quest Atlantis (www.QuestAtlantis.org) – a virtual world. Brings together students from around the world who are completing curriculum tasks. A closed environment (trained teachers). For children 9-15. There are live monitors who watch for exemplary behavior and infractions. It is free but two teachers must train from your school. Training is online. All over the summer. 4 meetings in a month online. Quest Atlantis started 7 years ago.

Community Responsibility Values Security

A safe environment where children can practice. Teen2teen.wikispaces.com

GUIDANCE BE CAREFUL – THIS MACHINE HAS NO BRAIN. USE YOUR OWN. www.digiteen.org - it’s free. Start with PBS “Growing up Online”. Write a collaborative Wiki. Jigsaw digital citizenship. Do oral presentations on projects (topics of Digital Citizenship). Here are examples of action projects done by students: supersocialsafety.blogspot.com. Twitter @socialsafety http://ow.ly/23YOT. Recommendations by kids for good virtual worlds: moshi monsters, fantage, girl sense, club penguin, woogi world, hubba bubba, poptropica. Did not recommend: boom bang, habbo, chamber of chat, ninja kiwi, pixie hollow.

70% of virtual worlds have objectional content. We need to empower students in service learning projects to bring info out to the world.

Woogi World – purpose: use woogi world to teach elementary (have 4th and fifth graders go into other lower el classrooms to teach.

Digiteen Island

We are so focused on predators, but the real risk is cyberbullying and harassment. We need to focus on this behavior. We block social media at school and we cant do that anymore because then they are on their own.

Intrapersonal Interpersonal Techni-personal – there is technology in between. if we are not conscious, we dis personalize kids. They become drones. Humanize the person at the other end of the technology.

Teachers have always taught citizenship. We need to teach DIGITAL citizenship. KAIZEN. Slow and steady change.

I**NNOVATIVE LEARDERSHIP IN A PARTICIPATORY WEB 2.0 WORLD** CEOS in top innovative companies don’t delegate creative work…they do it themselves… SEVEN DESIGN ELEMENTS

1. Own the innovation

Actions… • Technology, social media, multimedia, and eCommunication should inform every decision • Digital content • Implementation of common core • Under performance of subgroups • CTO in cabinet • Student voice • Enviromental scanning • Expectations of faculty • Etc.

Implementation of common core you need to talk about how people best learn and how technology is best used.

2. Drive change through creativity and knowledge Be creative, informed, tolerant and critical of digital technologies and youth in driving change.

Three Perspectives on Learning: • Acquisition (the individual) • Pariticipation (the group, community, network, culture) • Knowledge Creation (the innovative knowledge community)

INNOVATORS DNA • Associating – they don’t just stay in sphere of influence but they go out of it. Classes need to be more innovative with interdisciplinary flow. • Questioning – Ask why not. Question the unquestionable. • Observing – we need to learn our clients and students very well. Observe how clients do participate • Experimenting – get out of the mode of kids having to have the right answer. Do action research. • Networking – be in different kinds of spheres. Connecting with people.

We need to be a bit more deliberate. Be innovative. What about gaming and learning?

3. Shift form rules to shared principles …Actively facilitate the development and adoption of guiding principles for 21st century learning. Effectiveness of teachers: Three effective teachers in a row (grades 3-5): your kids will have a gain of 50 percentile over kids who don’t. Effects of a single ineffective teacher is detectable 4 years later.

The Black Box – a recurring positive relationship between student learning and teachers’ flexibility, creativity, and adaptability. (Linda Darling-Hammond)

What really motivates workers? Research says if workers are making progress that motivates them. On worst days the top one is collaboration. Collaboration is a powerful motivator.

High Tech High in San Diego Principles: Personalization (they have a senior in high school that has 2 teachers. It’s all about project based learning), adult world connection, common intellectual mission and teacher as designer.

ACTIONS: Facilitate identification of and commitment to shared principles Set expectation…

4. Establish professional learning system

Observe… Less student contact time Lesson study Classroom observations Singapore…teachers’ network

Observe… Few causal studies 49 hours of substantial professional development can increase student scores by 21 percentiles (elementary) (6+ days)

Types of professional development Virtual Blended Just-in-time Mentoring Coaching Collaborative review of student work Etc.

Effectiveness of teachers = #1 Key elements of professional learning: sustained over time Content basedYou need solid networks and devices Embedded in plc focused on concrete tasks. Shape culture Establish a culture of openness, collegiability, honesty, and adaptability, focused on the standards, guided by the principles

5. Look for positive deviance Look around What is working despite the odds (and our biases) Tap into it…

6. Ensure digital access and infrastructure
