Teacher guidance will provide appropriate learning opportunities to lay the foundation for cyber safety skills

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The learning pathway for digital citizenship and cyber safety follows The New Zealand Curriculum’s learning pathways. At the core of student learning is a digital citizenry curriculum that provides opportunities to build upon existing skills. The objective of a successful digital citizenship education is to develop school leavers who are capable of managing their own online safety.

"Digital citizenship isn’t just about recognising and dealing with online hazards. It’s about building safe spaces and communities, understanding how to manage personal information, and about being internet savvy - using your online presence to grow and shape your world in a safe, creative way, and inspiring others to do the same." ([|Digizen]) "A fully literate citizen is at once critically self-reflexive and critically reflexive of his/her collective and position within it." (Spooner, 2007).

EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP IN AN ONLINE WORLD: CONNECTING STUDENTS TO TECHNOLOGY RESPONSIBLY, SAFELY, AND ETHICALLY
 * Reading**

Taken from Educational Leadership in an Online World: Connecting Students to Technology, Responsibly, Safely and Ethically Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, Volume 17: Issue 1

It is imperative that school leaders act responsibly to provide digital age leadership and embed digital citizenship elements into all aspects of teaching and learning. These skills will be needed to protect all members of their communities from inappropriate use of technology. Educational leaders must make sure that they are modeling digital citizenship, that students within their schools are safe, and that students learn the skills to live and thrive in a digital world. By providing this knowledge and modeling these skills, leaders can ensure that issues such as cyberbullying will diminish. As technology continues to become a more integral part of students’ lives, making sure that all members within school environments are well versed in appropriate use and digital citizenship will be an imperative.

Some things to consider as we create a Long term Plan for DC

9 elements have been identified that define those living in a digital society RESPECT EDUCATE PROTECT


 * Respect Your Self/Respect Others **

 __ Digital Etiquette __. Starting at a young age, educational leaders need to begin make parallels for students between being good to each other both in the classroom and in the digital world. Users need to be provided with specific examples of appropriate action in both worlds.  __ Digital Access. __ Work within educational institutions needs to focus on all students having similar digital opportunities. Efforts should be made and monitored to ensure that all groups have access to technology and if there is not, access accommodations need to be made.  __ Digital Law __. As in Real Life (RL), if something is taken which has value, it is stealing. Students need to see the connection between RL (Real Life) and OL (Online Life) and understand that those basic laws apply to the OL, as well as the RL.


 * Educate Your Self/Connect with Others **

 __ Digital Communication __. Discussions should be held with students on which situations require which technologies (or media) for interpersonal interactions. Students need to have an understanding of how to be clear to avoid misunderstandings when there is no way to see reactions, facial expressions, etc.  __ Digital Literacy __. As the numbers of digital tools grow, there is a need to expand on knowledge of the basics that can be applied to several technologies. The basic technology skills of the past 10 years (e.g. understanding various word processing packages) are disappearing and being replaced by very specific new literacy skills (e.g. social networking, texting).  __ Digital Commerce. __ Students need to know how to protect themselves and their information in an online world. Students need to know which sites are safe, how much information to share, and how to protect their financial reputations.


 * Protect Your Self/Protect Others **

 __ Digital Rights and Responsibility __. Educational leaders need to reinforce that the access students have online requires following the rules, or the students’ rights can be revoked. Students need to realize that when they feel uncomfortable in a situation, they need to report it to someone in authority.  __ Digital Safety (Security). __ Educational leaders need to ensure that technology tools and information are protected. Students need to also become aware that even not doing something (e.g. keeping virus protection up to date) can have an impact on themselves as well as others.  __ Digital Health and Welfare. __ Educational leaders need to understand the need for, and how to, set limits of technology use as a necessary skill for all users. Students need to understand that limits must be set to live a balanced life between OL and RL.

Each of the nine areas requires technology users to think about what they are doing currently with a technology, but also asks them to stop and think about others as they interact online. The focus of the categories, Respect, Educate, and Protect, is to encourage users to focus as much on others’ use as themselves. This focus can help move students from concepts of empathy to personal responsibility and recognition of potential impact within their interactions.
