Teaching Digital Citizenship using Social Media

Informative. The short video clips consolidated the written material.

This course was very useful with excellent resources I can use for myself and to educate my students. It was thoughtfully organised in logical sequence and the information was very relevant and informative, thank you. Tania van der Schyff

Course was good with many interesting resources and links

Really helpful content that I can use, as a teacher to teach on the Topic of Digital Citizenship. All the content provided took a lot longer than two hours to get through.

Quality and relevance of the course was good – will be useful for upper primary students.

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.
