EDT5122 Digital Citizenship and Technology Applications
In this course, learners evaluate the ways that students and teachers become responsible digital citizens as framed by the Children's Internet Safety Act, Children's Online Protection Act, and International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) standards. Learners apply best practices for responsibly accessing, evaluating, and using online resources and social media, and analyze the nine elements of digital citizenship, cyber-safety, and cyber-bullying. In addition, learners evaluate ways that teachers align their lessons, objectives, and outcomes to ISTE standards and subject area standards, including Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Learners build proficiency scales using the Marzano framework to guide students and to evaluate student work and implement standards-based digital instruction that incorporates best practices from the Charlotte Danielson Framework, National Board Teacher Standards, and Professional Teacher Standards. Learners also explore structures and systems that can be implemented to manage a variety of devices and instructional time in a 1:1 environment. Finally, learners institute routines to increase student achievement and motivation to learn, selecting and creating a secure digital learning environment for students.
