11.5: Thing 11

Perfect timing for me - I can use "digital Citizenship" for my orientation! This may sound juvenile for the high school set - but PBS's "drivers License" test for the internet is really basic but that's the beauty of it It's a very cool site - and would be great for elementary kids - they get to print out a "license" and everything.

I'm going to incorporate the following points into orientation this year, not necessarily in the order - from digitalcitizenship.net

1. Digital communication issues: cell phone use, i-touch use, IMing, texting
2. Facebook, MySpace guidelines
3. properly using email
4. website evaluation
5. research guidelines
6. properly citing sources and honoring another's intellectual property
7. and more I'm sure
