Digital Citizenship by Anita McAnear. This article is really educational and informative. We as teachers need to teach our students the importance of been safe online. Especially now a days we hear about predators online molesting our children. We as teachers need to include it in our curriculum, as long as the district and the school where we work permit us. They should not oppose because we are educating and trying to help our students to how to be safe online.
I am glad that the State of Virginia passed a law that relates to this issue. As of March 2006 all school districts integrate the teaching of internet safety into their curricula.
Where can I find more information about this issue?
Gerald Bailey and Mike Ribble have a Web site devoted to digital citizenship. http://www.educ.ksu.edu/digitalcitizenship/
Another web site where we can find more information about internet ethnics, safety, and security is the cyber ethics, cyber safety and cyber security institute, (http://edtechoutreach.umd.edu/C3Institute/)
Why do all States in the United States do not teach this issue in class?
They might not teach it because teachers have a lot of work already, but they might incorporate it in the future if they see some results with other school districts.
