ESSB tells its Digital Citizenship story at Connect Education Conference in Niagara Falls.

Eastern Shores School Board was well represented at the annual ConnectEd Conference in Niagara Falls.

We had the opportunity to present our Digital Citizenship Initiative, exchange resources and learn with educators from across North America.

 

 

 

There was so much to learn and digest.  If you are an educator or simply have a passion for learning, we highly recommend that you attend next year.  If you missed this year, you can view some presentations on the Connect Education Conference Youtube channel

 

Our Eastern Shores School Board gang displayed many resources including a variety of Digital Citizenship Badges, themed activities, and a student sample of the DC Passport.

We shared our journey in the implementation of Digital Citizenship with our schools.  The presentation encompassed our;

•   Demographic and geographic realities,
•   Work with various stakeholders
•   Digital Citizenship Passport Concept
• Lessons, Activities and related DC Badges
• Challenges and Successes.

As usual, student voice had the biggest impact when demonstrating our learning.  Have a look at our expert talking about her experience with digital citizenship.

There were so many great messages and learning nuggets obtained at the Connect Education Conference.

One comment particularly struck a chord.  It was a message from Keynote Speaker Eric Sheninger (a new trend in educational leadership, Eric is a Principal and…best-selling author!)

The message is, “Tell your Story!”

 

 

 

So… we did, and continue to do it with the Eastern Shores School Board Digital Citizenship Initiative.  We are blogging about it, tweeting about it, and networking with peers to talk about it.

As a comprehensive ‘take-away’ for our attendees at the conference, we provided a bookmark containing links to all of our digital citizenship resources.  Here it is for you to enjoy and share with your learning communities.

We are thrilled to tell our story, but we also love to hear from others.  It keeps us inspired and lends direction to build all of our stories.  

So tell us….What’s your DC story?

If you know educators taking the plunge into Digital Citizenship and could benefit from sharing experiences, please pass along this blog.  We welcome your comments and resources to expand our Digital Citizenship learning
