4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility

**Current Abilities **  I am able to decipher what is and is not responsible digital behavior. I am also able to model this through my own digital citizenship.

**Need – Why is there a need to develop in this area? **  It is important to develop this area as inappropriate behavior online is very common and highly threatening to those who are being inappropriate and other users of the internet.

**Goal **  I will instill proper digital citizenship in my students so that they may use the internet responsibly.

**Short Term Plan – What will you do during this class. **  I will learn as much as I can about having good citizenship and practice it everyday while using technology.

**Long Term Plan – what you will do in the next year. **  I will grow my skills further by researching the topic and practicing even more what it means to be digitally responsible so that I may model this perfectly to my future students.

**Assessment – How will you know that you did it? **  I will know that I did this by the way my students respond to my teaching and their own digital citizenship.

 I have met the short term plan by using technology extensively this semester. I have worked very hard to learn about as many different forms of technology as I can. I spend a lot of time trying to learn and be efficient with technology we have used in class. This has helped me to understand how I can perform digital citizenship in each form of technology.  I would not change my long term goals because I believe this would be the best way to add to my understanding of digital citizenship. I may add practicing to my goal, it would be helpful to practice modeling digital citizenship to students. I believe this goal is appropriate and would help to achieve this goal. Researching this topic would show a lot of different perspectives to this topic. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> I would extend this goal to my teaching career by showing them what it means to have digital citizenship. I would do this by modeling digital citizenship to my students when I taught them new technologies. I could even create a unit covering many different technologies and ways to utilize digital citizenship. This goal is one that can be ongoing for as long as I use technology.
