Digital Citizenship is a concept so broad that it can sometimes become counterproductive to use the term.
This session will focus on three pillars that can help define the Digital Citizenship curriculum at your school: Copyright/Ownership, Digital Footprint, and Balanced Lifestyle. These topics can be taught to almost any age group and can be used in any subject.
There is no “perfect way” to implement a digital citizenship program at a school. This session will offer some background information that will serve as discussion starters for our group and for your school.

Part 1 will be an overview of Google Forms and their applications.
Part 2 will be matching assessments to your particular practice in order to measure student learning.
Part 3 will give participants the chance to design a sample assessment that can be completed by workshop participants.
Part 4 will give some tools for analyzing and collating data.
All participants should have a google drive which allows them the ability to create a Google form. If you do not have access to Google Apps, and you are still interested in participating, you will have the opportunity to partner with another participant who works in your particular division or grade level.

Speak up! Transforming Classroom Discussions
Some students enjoy speaking up in class and others don’t? Why is this? How can we promote more students to share their ideas? This workshop will briefly present research on face-to-face and virtual class discussions. It will provide classroom examples and encourage educators to try different ways to reach their students through different modes of class discussions. Participants will apply their learning in this session by engaging in both face-to-face and virtual discussions. Additionally participants will reflect on the uses of face-to-face and virtual discussions and discuss ways to start using this in their classrooms.
