It is so challenging to keep an eye on two places for my content. Some time a go, I had started fully resyndicating content from my main blog - www.coolcatteacher.com back here to my original blog on Blogger.

However, it has become too difficult for me to track, so I'm going to post links here when new posts go live, however, the full articles will be found over at on the Cool Cat Teacher Blog

I'm not sure who is still subscribing and reading my blog over here, but there are definitely quite a few of you! You can also subscribe to my weekly email newsletter which has many more helpful things. Just go to www.coolcatteacher.com/newsletter

5 Ways to Teach Digital Citizenship (and the 9 Key P’s of Digital Citizenship)

Episode 365 of the 10-Minute Teacher Podcast

From the Cool Cat Teacher Blog by Vicki Davis

Follow @coolcatteacher on Twitter

What are the essential things we need to teach students about digital citizenship? How can we simply help them understand using examples and research (because we know lecture doesn’t work so well on this topic.) All of the nine topics that I like to teach begin with P: passwords, property, photographs, permissions, privacy, professionalism, permanence, and protection.

I wrote about these in Reinventing Writing and in other articles. In today’s show, I share my latest thinking on helping students understand how to discern truth from fiction and other important topics for being safe and wise in today’s modern world.

The Tweet that Started this Conversation

Two years ago, I was saying “do you have any questions?”. Last year I switched to “what questions do you have?” It made a difference. Today I tried “ask me two questions”. And they did! And those ?s led to more ?s. It amazes me that the littlest things have such a big impact!
