How are you going to answer all the questions students have at your school
about the safe, ethical, and appropriate uses of digital technologies? Not only
do you NOT have time to address these within your alloted class time, you also
likely will encounter questions for which you are unsure of the answer. Consider
building on the outstanding work of the students and teachers in the ProTechT
2008 project. Invite members of your community as well as students to respond to
these questions and then share answers to them using a variety of new media
technologies, and post both questions and answers on a "Digital Citizenship FAQ"
page linked from your school website. The "demonstration effect" of using these
digital media tools for constructive and safe learning may be more powerful and
important than you or your students anticipated.
