This chart highlights some differences between simply using technology versus authentic classroom integration. These ideas are thought-provoking and timely, especially as we continue to add more and more Chromebooks and iPads to our classrooms. Not only is it important for us to find those teachable moments throughout the school year to teach Digital Citizenship to our students, but we really need to reflect on how we are integrating the technology. Considering the TPACK and SAMR Frameworks along with the ideas presented in this chart are great places to start as we reflect on the use of technology with students. Kudos to TeachBytes for this neat graphic and to TeachThought for the article! Be sure to check out my Pinterest Boards on Digital Citizenship and Tech Research to further delve into the ideas presented in this post! Enjoy!

Digital Citizenship is extremely important and should be taught throughout the year in a variety of settings. We are all responsible for guiding students to be responsible users of technology in our globally connected world! Even though the official Digital Citizenship Week has passed, we should continue to teach students these valuable lessons and crucial 21st century skills!

Most every time we launch a Google search, the number of returned results most likely reaches well into the millions. It takes a great deal of time to comb the web and search out the specific resources we need, and finding excellent resources usually means sifting through lots of mediocre ones first. Kelly Walsh, when writing for EmergingEdTech, states that "knowing how to efficiently find information on the Web is a vital element of today’s digital literacy requirements for our students, and for us as educators and professionals." Check out his article to learn search tips that will help your students search like a boss! I love this infographic and just had to share it! Digital citizenship is so important that it should be touched on in our classrooms every day. Our students are digital learners in and out of school, so they need all the guidance and information they can get about being responsible producers and consumers of digital content. Teaching digital citizenship should happen at all grade-levels! Thanks for the great ideas, Mia MacMeekin!
In a recent blog post on Free Technology for Teachers, Richard Byrne highlights two excellent online video tools. For teachers who assign videos for homework or classwork, and especially those who are applying flipped or blended classroom models to their instruction, these tools could definitely prove to be valuable. Video Notes allows the creator to save and share synchronized notes about videos. Notes could include information to highlight or questions for students to answer and are hyperlinked to the part of the video that relates to the note. Video Notes also integrates seamlessly with Google Drive accounts. Vialogues enables teachers to invite users to a discussion about videos. Comments, surveys, and questions may be also be added to the video discussion, and time stamps provide a direct link to the relevant video content. View Byrne's tutorial videos below to see these sites in action and use the links above to start using these resources in your classroom!
