Digital Citizenship for Teachers

As a Christian and future educator it is my responsibility to model the behavior I expect from my students.  I need to make sure that I am following good digital etiquette and using technology resources appropriately.  Using online sources can sometimes be tricky for teachers because of the copyright laws that have been set in place, so taking extra care to avoid copying these materials is necessary. 

It is also important for teachers to educate their students about technology so that they can become digitally literate.  With the ever-changing technology that is in our world, we need to be prepared to adapt and teach our students about these changes.  Students learn their best when we can enhance the styles in which we teach and technology has allowed for this enhancement.  I want to be able to teach my students about technology so that they can use it in the appropriate manner.  Access to technology is important for ALL students and this is why I will provide access for those who do not have technology at home.  Everyone deserves an equal chance to succeed!
