Standard 1 Faciliate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity Module 4...Research and information Literacy

Our recently retired librarian has been a friend for more years than I care to remember - we go way back! The last few years we were car buddies so did much talking about many different subjects - several of them having links to this course.Our school is very lucky to have many resources available to us - Access PA, United Streaming, Promethean and Smartboards (of which I now have one - but not yet usable!) and videoconferencing (maybe called webinars? we actually did it once in the library with our tech guy - who happened to be in Northern Potter). Then, there are the book searches available (Power Library??). I was surprised to walk into her room one day and see the card catalog missing - they had gone over to the automated card catalog system (much more convenient to use)Our Librarian taught a unit on website validity (for many years) to our 8th grade students. It was really fun to listen to some of the stories she had associated with that. (It looks valid because it just does, or, the ads were good so the site must be - that type of thing) Pat showed me how to look up books related to music topics using a computer-based search engine - gives you a listing (with bibliography) of all books on a particular subject or just a general listing - great for my research projects in the 9th grade!Her knowledge of how to check for plagiarism was quite helpful during research time - caught several students because of her. She is a person who will be greatly missed - not only an encyclopedia n her own right but a great friend to have (that part I won't miss - I still talk to her & see her regularlyl [] The above web-site is the Center for Social Media.................The code of best practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education [] This web-site is The Free Automactic Biblography and Citation Maker

Standard 4 Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility

Create Rationale Create Rationale for students as digital citizens:The word rationale means a statement of principles or reasons. The web-sites I have chosen to use will have to complete the task I plan to use the articles below as an introduction to digital citizenship for my classes [] Are you a good cybercitizen? Rules in cyberspace. You can get in real trouble for Hacking.

Standard 4 Nets for Student Digital and citizenship a.b.c.d. Digital Citizenship

Who is a digital citizen? A digital citizen is anyone who uses digital tools such as computers, cell-phones, or the interent in their work,school,or for recreation purposes. They must adopt to the rules and standards of behavior to live together and while we often talk about teaching students how to be “safe on line”teaching digital citizenship should go beyond simply talking about privacy and security. It also means more than just an etiquette lesson on how to behave “appropriately on line. Austin Area School does have a Computer Use Policy that all students and staff must sign in order to have internet privileges. It does cover all of the major areas of Digital Citizenship. The main heading on the form are ...1.Purpose...2.Authority...3. Responsibility...4.Guidelines...5.Security...6.. Safety.,,7..Consequences for Inappropriate Uses, and Copyright. We as teachers go over the form with the students so they are aware of the policy. I feel we need to add a digital citizenship problem to our district as they have in other states. The librarian does cover copyright and appropriate use of technology with the students, but as far as the high school it is not in the curriculum. They have formed a new technology committee at the school to address issues that might arise and I found several web- sites that I listed in my e-portfolio to help summarize cyberetiquette for students Students need to realize that the information they put on face-book and everywhere on the internet is permanent and may have consequences for them on done the road.

[] Digital citizenship can be defined as the norms of appropriate ,responsible behavior with regards to technology use.

Media Literacy Copyright

Media Literacy empowers people to be both critical thinkers and creative producers of an increasingly wide range of messages using images, language and sound I feel all teachers and educators are media literacy instructors, which is an essential skills for the 21st century learner. As Educators, We must be aware of the word “Copyright “. What does it mean? Copyright is a set of exclusive rights granted to the author or creators of an original work. The author can transfer the copyright to another person or publishing company. The Fair Use Media Literacy is helping education world wide by having a set of guidelines in the copyright world to support educators in making thoughtful decisions about interpreting the copyright doctrine of fair use to support media literacy education. The copyright law is very strict in our area,but I do have permission to copyright from the textbook I use in My classroom. I also can copyright worksheets and tests,so I do feel that I am a teacher that falls in the term “Transformative”. I do rearrange the wording on both the worksheets and tests, but I am still using the the original work.

I do agree with author of “Redefining Rigor”and all the good articles in this lesson.

What is critical thinking? Achieving the best possible resolution of questions, as compare to winning arguments for the sake of winning. Our children today must be ready to view education in a whole new area and that is the world of technology .They must know how to ask questions and also take part in a discussion. Technology has allowed for teamwork, but also they need leadership. Project based learning is a natural cue for students critical thinking skills. Keep students on track by framing projects around a driving question. My final plan will deal with choosing Careers in the field of FAMILY CONSUMER SCIENCE The driving question will be which area do I want to pursue .The number of technology tools will be at Their doors-steps such as wikis, computers, web-sites, videos and many more. The children of the 21st century need creativity, ownership, collaboration and real writing plus communication skills for this will help them to gain confidence and feel a true ownership of their master skills.
