As a Kindergarten teacher, I know that many of my students will already come in with technology skills. What a great time to start teaching them the etiquette of Digital Citizenship! I follow TRIBES in my classroom, so I believe I'll tie DC in with TRIBES agreements. I want my students to know that Mutual Respect, Attentive Listening, Appreciations, and Right to Pass are essential in all aspect. And they carry over to DC, too.
I will be using Brainpop videos to help students learn about DC. They love the characters, and it's shown in a "story/cartoon" way that they will remember. I'll probably post a picture by the computers of Moby and Annie so they have a visual to remind them of DC. Also, I can show this to parents at Open House. Usually, I have a monthly newletter to parents, so I will probably dedicate a section to DC to keep parents up-to-date.
