Reflections+on+Digital+Smarts

The idea of digital citizenship to help teachers, school technology leaders, and parents understand what students should know to use technology appropriately is a basic skill that must be implemented in schools, immediately. Teachers are often made to feel that they can't keep up with all the new technology that is introduced into society. However, teachers do not need to know how to do everything; they just need to be willing to engage in collaborative learning. The gap between who is teaching and who is learning is not as wide as it once was. Technology provides an opportunity for teachers to become a source of empowerment as students are given the chance to point and click, while they both stand back to see what opens up. There is a whole world to experience and global trends to recognize, without leaving the classroom. media type="custom" key="9794656"
