Digital Citizenship is the key to students using technology successfully. I loved the matrix in the Coolcat teacher blog that had the 4 main ideas of literacy, safety, learning strategies, and etiquette. All of these skills are so important in every aspect of our lives as we become more connected. If we, the schools, don't teach this, we are exposing our students to something that could harm instead of help them. The resources that TEA and I safe offer are very valuable. I think that teachers modeling and applying all of the matrix skills we want our students to use is the most effective way to teach these skills.
I still worry about the time aspect involved in teaching and becoming proficient with all of these skills. We will have to collaborate to get everything in the curriculum taught and embed the technology.
