4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility
Teachers understand local and global societal issues and responsibilities in an evolving digital culture and exhibit legal and ethical behavior in their professional practices. Teachers:
a. advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources
b. address the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies and providing equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources
c. promote and model digital etiquette and responsible social interactions related to the use of technology and information
d. develop and model cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of other cultures using digital-age communication and collaboration tools
Reflection:
I learned tons of information about promoting and modeling digital citizenship and responsibility this semester. Almost every assignment this semester required the class to be ethically responsible. I was taught how to find public domain photos and sounds that were free to be used and published. I also learned how to site photos if the author or photographer wanted credit. I found this difficult to use but it is very useful information to know. Learning how to use turnitin.com was nice. I might not use this technology much teaching elementary school, but I enjoyed learning how easy it is to catch someone who is plagiarising. This tool might also be difficult to use because it is not free; however, we did learn that google is great for catching plagiarism. All someone must do is type in a phrase they think a student might not have come up with on their own. Using blogs is another important tool I learned to use this semester that correlates to this standard. With blogs teachers and students can gather information and share information with people all around the world. It is a great tool to learn how to use, and it is an easy way to communicate with others.

I learned a lot about being digitally responsible this semester; however, I would love to learn more about finding public domain photos and sounds. I had trouble finding what I was looking for sometimes when doing this. I also had difficulty finding out whether or not the publisher wanted to be credited. I hope that I can learn more about this by using the tools more often. I would also like to learn more about free websites that might be similar to turnitin.com.
I agree and I had no idea about the google image stuff.
ReplyDeleteTurnitin is very good to know how to work for future reference. It will save time on having to grade papers and look for plagarism so I agree!
