"Peter H. Reynolds, creativity advocate and best-selling author and illustrator, and co-founder of FableVision Learning, has created a new animated short called The Testing Camera — a whimsical poke at high-stakes, standardized testing and a reminder that real assessment is as easy, and — at the same time — as challenging as getting to really know the gifts and talents of every child."

Students collaborate in creating a digital citizenship pledge outlining their collective social norms for exploring in and interacting with the ...
Beth Dichter's insight:
Common Sense Media is a great resource for teaching digital citizenship. A day or so ago I scooped a new song they had created on digital citizenship. This poster is a digitial citizenship pledge, one that you may talk about with your student and have each sign...and it has two extra spaces where you may choose to add one or two new rules. If you click through to their website you will also find a lesson plan on this. Common Sense Media does require you to log-in to access all their materials (for download) and they have excellent resources.

"With an ever growing list of daily interactions occurring digitally, the result of small online decisions can have a huge and lasting impact. As educators, it is critical that we convey this impact to students and consider all elements of Digital Citizenship when working with them in the digital world."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Teaching students digital citizenship is not as easy as one might think.Tweens and teens often make decisions when posting online before they consider the consequences. Dr. Mike Ribble "coined the nine elements of digital citizenship" and many use it as a base to help teach these skills. The poster (shown above) may be printed out and six additional resources are provided in this post.

This has not only an interesting graphic, but a number of links to additional resources for this very important topic.

This is a great tool for teachers. A small, printable reminder for students of their digital citizenship responsibilities. I've printed this for use at my school... what will you do with it? |
Peter Reynolds shares one view of how students may feel in the high stakes testing environment that exists in schools today. The movie may bring a tear to your eye. The video is short, about 4 minutes, and there is also a poster (shown above). This video could be a great way to begin a discussion on authentic learning and why it is important.
