Why is it important to foster a global approach to digital citizenship?
What do you see as typical challenges within a school when balancing ‘educational networking’ with ‘social networking’?
When we go on the internet we immediately connect to the world. Students need to be aware of this as well as being aware that whatever they post can be accessed by many people not just their immediate circle of friends. I like the idea of challenging students thinking by asking questions that challenge their thinking such as ''Would you be happy for your parents to see everything you put on social media, your grand parents, etc". I think the challenge with balancing networking is that children might not be aware where the line is between the two. Keeping them focused on educational outcomes may be hard when the opportunity for social networking is available. If it can be balanced then it would be a great way to engage students.
