Time:
2-3 minutes for initial presentation
5 minutes for each of the outlined topics
Process:
Peer-to-peer interaction: I will encourage attendees to interact with each other and share their own experiences and ideas. I will also be available to answer questions and provide additional information. I hope to turn my expiereince into conversations so that I can also learn from the people who are attending.
Device-based activities: I will have a few qr codes and short urls available for attendees to use to explore different digital citizenship resources and tools.
Games and contests: I hope to have a giveaway related to digital citizenship that attendees can participate in to win a prize.
Engagement Tactics:
Ask questions: I will ask attendees questions to get them thinking about the topics being presented. For example, I might ask them to share their own experiences with digital citizenship, or to offer tips for teaching digital citizenship in the classroom. I will have student artificats to share and ask people if they have done anything similar or could see their students creating things like they see.
Share stories: I will share stories and examples from my own experience teaching digital citizenship. This will help to make the content more relatable and engaging for attendees. I will share any of the resources that I have used to make it easy for them to find and use too.
Use visuals: I will create a large poster to aid in the conversations. This will also help to make the presentation more engaging and accessible for attendees.
I believe that this poster session will be a valuable learning experience for attendees. It will provide them with information about digital citizenship, digital footprints, and tips for using technology safely and responsibly at home and at school. It will also give them the opportunity to network with other educators and share their own experiences and ideas.
Recently ISTE published a book with Shannon Miller on Sonia's Digital World. This will be one of the resources I highlight making it accessible to young learners.
Dr. Marialice Curran, leader and connecter of the digital citizenship summit has done some amazing and inspirational work. I'd like to highlight some of the projects she shares.
