Teaching Digital Citizenship using Social Media

Excellent research

Extremely interesting reading

What an amazing array of resources. It paints a very clear picture of how the nature of our communication has changed over time and the pitfalls and the advantages to this change. It would have been good to have the stat’s more current through. Some of the videos didn’t work.

Very relevant and useful

Very relevant to young people in today’s society and helpful for me and my personal use of Social media and how to use it safely.

Very relevant for today’s classroom and today’s students Great PD with content very relevant to all levels of secondary school students regarding SM use

some good resources to show students

The course content was high quality, extremely relevant and meaningful to me as not only a teacher but also a parent.

The quality was excellent and it was all relevant.

I enjoyed the course and found the course resources ?and those shared by colleagues useful. I plan to use these when teaching cyber safety to students.

I found that the course had some fantastic and relevant content; particularly up to date with issues, lesson ideas and concepts that we as teachers should be tackling. Additionally, some nice suggestions in regards to how to use SM as tools for learning and how they can be best applied to help support student understanding.

Some parts were a little dated, I thought. When dealing with this particular part of education it is essential that the content in current. I liked that I was able to see other students comments and this made for a nice collaborative environment.
The focus on using FB to communicate with students was challenging. There are already so many other recommended (and free) LMS platforms for achieving this type of communication.

I think that the content needs alittle updating. I work with students in Years 7 & 8, 90% of whom do not have a Facebook account. I would be interested in learning more about Snapchat, and Instagram. I appreciate the information about privacy settings on Facebook. I realise that many of these social media sites are fads and as teachers we are always playing catch up as the students move to the next

Informative course on Digital Citizenship, there was plenty of useful engagement techniques for the modern classroom.

A lot of document were provided, all very seriously and appropriately done. I have learnt a lot. I would have expected more on how to integrate it into senior students units of work.

This was a wonderful course and it opened up my eyes to SM and online safety. The delivery was good and it allowed me to complete modules at my own pace. The only difficulty in applying it at school is that they have blocked some SM avenues. Thank you for the course and the learning gained.

Before the course I had a slightly negative preconception about social media and it’s use/potential use in the classroom. After engaging in the course I can see it’s potential and have had the opportunity to develop lesson and unit ideas that will integrate its use very willingly

Excellent content and very relevant to today’s generation; essential information for teachers of today’s students. Karina is also a great facilitator and offers frequent guidance and feedback.

The course is excellent and useful. The course combines the strategies on how to use Social Media as educational tools and how to use them safely. Therefore, teachers
Are more confident to use Social Media in the teaching and learning process.

I encourage teachers to complete this course as it all about the changing world when in comes to technology in the classroom and Social Media. It covered not only how students use Social Media, but also our uses and how important it is to develop a positive digital footprint. I had so much fun completing this course! Thank you to Karen Barley and her team!
