Digital citizenship in a 1:1 technology environment goes beyond the usual internet safety. It also has to be addressed right from the start so that the students as well as the teachers have a successful school year using technology in the classroom. Make sure you set expectations for how the devices should be treated. Students typically have a hard time discerning between how they use the devices at home versus school.
The number one factor in the success of the use of technology in your classroom is how devices are being utilized by the students. However, setting some ground rules (just like all procedures) will help ensure an exciting learning experience this year.

I have compiled a list of resources that you are welcome to use as you wish. These are not provided with the intent that the teacher uses everything posted. However, I do ask that every teacher that comes across this page at least use something in order to increase awareness of the need to maintain a "digital footprint." Some I created, and some are from Common Sense Media and Brainpop. (If you are an East Noble employee, contact me and I can give you the password for Brainpop.) After two weeks, please video a student telling what they think the most important thing is remember when using their device (iPod, iPad, or laptop.)
