It’s Digital Citizenship week and month
10/5/2017What does it mean to be an informed digital citizen? This is the week to find out.
From now until Friday, Oct. 13, PPS is undertaking its first Digital Citizenship Week. October is Digital Citizenship and National Cybersecurity Awareness month, and this year the PPS IT Department has put together a weeklong informational campaign.
During this week we will share information that is relevant to all staff, students and their families. Content will be shared in a variety of mediums include posters, flyers, social media posts, etc. Follow PPS IT on Twitter and Facebook and Portland Public Schools on Twitter and Facebook. We are using #ppsdigcit to share content this week.
The IT Department and Library Services have collaborated to recommend curriculum for teaching digital citizenship concepts. This instruction, from Common Sense Media and Google, is aligned with the Oregon Library Standards, Common Core Standards, and ISTE Student Standards.
Recommended digital citizenship lessons for each grade level are outlined on the PPS Digital Citizenship Curriculum webpage. Each building may develop its own comprehensive plan for lesson delivery. For example, a school’s teacher-librarian or classroom teacher could cover these lessons during October or spread out over the course of the year. We will be sending out copies of this student-friendly AUP, but you may also print them.
Here’s what Jackson Middle School’s teacher-librarian, Tini Maier, had to say about the curriculum: “I used the lesson ‘Identifying Quality Sites’ just last week for a lesson on website evaluation. There is no way I'd have time, ever, to build something this good.”
