=What opportunities exist for dealing with digital citizenship and fluency?=

Synopsis
When dealing with ICT in teaching and learning, we can often get lost in the skills and techniques that need to be imparted, but we can also miss teaching opportunities that arise in learning experiences. If we take advantage of these missed opportunities, then we can reduce the need for separate units of work addressing skill acquisition, cyberbullying, safety on the net and research skills. In addition, because these ideas and skills are developed as they are practised, learning transfer is much more efficient.

The process
With so many skilled teachers in the one place at the one time, we have a great opportunity to crowdsource good ideas. We'll use collaborative tools to build and share ideas. By the end of this session, we'll have a living resource that can be used immediately at your school. Bring your laptops/pads/anything that can be connected and can edit text.
