DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP
With the emerging need of using educational technology in classrooms today, we must to teach our students the importance of being a good and responsible digital citizen. Digital citizenship actually pertains to everyone who uses technology. It stresses the importance of using technology in an appropriate, ethical and responsible manner. There are so many great visuals out there to show the traits of a good digital citizen, I have several in my classroom, one set takes up an entire wall! I wanted something catchy and straight to the point. With students, we need to keep it simple and direct to the point with great visuals to catch their attention and make it stick. I found a great one that uses the acronym THINK. It's simple, not too wordy and uses a word all students know well. I recreated it, putting in my personal touches. Please feel free to use it in your classrooms if you find it useful.
PARTS OF A PARAGRAPH
I created this using Notepad+. It was inspired by a photo shared by my PLN on G+ about parts of a paragraph using a hamburger. I took it a step further and placed the parts of a paragraph on actual writing paper that students can relate to better. Added a visual as well where we normally ask students to draw the important scene of their writing piece. In teaching students, visuals are a great way to help them "picture" what you want them to do. Feel free to use it in teaching writing.
Shared this in other SM platforms and friends requested for personalization to suit their level of students more. The following 2 samples will be used by my friend, a MS English teacher in NYC. For friends and PLN, would gladly personalize it for you/your students, just contact me.
