4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility
Teachers understand local and global societal issues and responsibilities in an evolving digital culture and exhibit legal and ethical behavior in their professional practices. Teachers:
a. advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources
b. address the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies and providing equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources
c. promote and model digital etiquette and responsible social interactions related to the use of technology and information
d. develop and model cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of other cultures using digital-age communication and collaboration tools

Reflection:
As technology becomes more and more readily available in this society and era, I feel that legal and ethical behaviors are definitely needed. If we, as teachers, use illegal methods to get something, it will be very had to teach our children with a straight face that illegal doings is wrong. Especially since technology is so advanced today, many legal documents are being copied, duplicated, and exposed illegally.
It is important for teachers to be able to advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information. If the teachers do not properly teach this to the students, the students may find themselves in danger with the law. Using copyrighted material that belongs to others can lead to big trouble if caught.
Digital etiquette is also a big factor now because many people are not taught how to be nice using a computer. Many people do not know that ALL CAPITAL LETTERS represents screaming and are usually rude over technology without knowing it. Being able to show etiquette using technology will be very beneficial to the person using it.
It is also very important for teachers to model cultural understanding as technology is making the world a smaller place. Now that technology can show students the world beyond America, it is important to teach children that although other cultures are different, it is not wrong. Being respectful of other cultures is definitely important to society. People must learn to accept others for themselves rather than judging what isn’t the same as our culture.

Future Learning Goals:
As a future educator, I would like to explore more about plagiarism and copyrighted material. This will not only help me to teach my students to legal and ethical code of technology, but also it will save me from having to deal with the law if i do something illegal by mistake. It is very important for me to learn all of this so that i can be fully aware of what is and is not right.
I liked that you mentioned digital etiquette, I didn't even think about this when typing my reflection. I also liked that you talked about different cultures and how teachers need to make sure to teach their students about many different cultures especially since there is so much information at the student's fingertips. As you mentioned in your future learning goals I believe all educator's need to explore and stay up-to-date on plagiarism and copyright laws.
ReplyDeleteI like how you said that it is important to teach children that although other cultures are different, they are not wrong. Teaching students respect is very important!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Teachers have to respect each student. No two students are alike, even if they are siblings. It is important to find ways to make the plagiarism issue more known to students.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it is very important that young students learn to respect others while online and in everyday life. I also agree that it would be very helpful to keep up with all of the plagarism and copyright laws during the future.
