Cyber-Citizenship

Watch this clip, Edtalks: 2010 Ten trends: Cyber citizenship with Derek Wenmoth, Director of CORE Education, discussing digital citizenship.

He suggests it is necessary for teachers to have direct experience of the online environment to teach students effectively about responsible cyber behaviour.

This is included in the Digital Citizenship PLD modules on TKI.
