iLEAD California strives to foster a community where our learners are digital citizens. Being a good digital citizen is about understanding the best way to connect and collaborate with others. Now more than ever, fostering digital citizenship is essential.
When we go online, we’re participating in a world where we can be instantly connected to thousands of people at a moment’s notice. When learners connect with each other from a distance, it can affect the way they behave. For example, their actions can feel removed from consequences or discovery. When people are anonymous, it’s easier to behave irresponsibly, cruelly, or unethically.
At iLEAD, our goal is to create safer school environments and discourage prejudice and discrimination. We are participating in the annual Digital Citizenship Week as a way to help our families generate conversations about what it means to be a good digital citizen, stay safe in the online world, and utilize the wonderful tools 21st-century technology has to offer to the best of their abilities.
We’ll be focusing on 5 main topics for discussion and learning this year:
Each topic will include family-centered activities and discussion guides to support this driving question: “How do I demonstrate through my actions that I’m a good digital citizen?”
We encourage you to submit activities and reflections to stories@ileadschools.org.
iLEAD California is offering a network-wide virtual family book club as part of our efforts to join in the national movement to foster digital citizenship. We’ll be reading Raising Humans in the Digital World: Helping Kids Build a Healthy Relationship with Technology, by Diana Graber.
Book Club Kickoff: Thursday, October 29, from 6:30-7:30 PM
Book Club Discussion and Reflection: Thursday, November 29, from 6:30-7:30 PM
With weekly emails throughout the month for guided questions, resources, and asynchronous discussion.
