Digital citizenship involves a vast range of responsibilities,
technology, skills, behaviours and knowledge. Teachers will first need to
understand it and develop it themselves before being able to construct policies
and programs to promote it in the school community. It also has a shifting base
as new forms of web 2.0 tools and social networking pervade all aspects of
daily life.
To achieve ‘digital citizenship’ students are required to
develop the ability to learn as a 21st century learner with all that
entails – the 4 ‘c’s as I call them: collaboration, connectivity, critical
thinking and creativity – in a supportive and safe, yet challenging educational setting.
As a TL, as Farmer (2010) suggested, it is the TL who sees
all students and comes into contact with all staff so how much of the responsibility
rests with them? How do we achieve school wide digital citizenship?
