A note (again) on digital citizenship

I originally published this post in May of 2013. I feel this rant coming on again…so here you go.

I hear so many educators complain about how technology is hijacking our students’ education. How they don’t know how to be digital citizens. How they are addicted. How all they care about is YouTube and Facebook and their social lives. So instead of teaching it they dismiss it, poopoo it, and try to ban it.

Tell me… How do you propose students learn about being digital citizens if not at school?

Note over. And out.
