Happy Wednesday, Vampires! 🦇
This week’s Tech Bytes focuses on US! We all know the powerful influence we can have over students by what we think, say, and do.
➡️ First up, here‘s a recommended article from MIT Technology Review with suggestions on how to talk to children about AI.
DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP
Educators as Responsible Digital Citizens
At AISB our work is guided by the ISTE Standards for Students and Educators. Educators Standard 2.3 Citizen states:
Educators inspire students to positively contribute to and responsibly participate in the digital world.
Students are watching us all the time. We are their trusted adults and role models in this media-rich world. As we are ALL teachers of technology, it is our responsibility to model digital citizenship, responsible use of technology, and, perhaps most importantly, respectful and ethical behaviour when using and sharing the work of others.
Grade 5 students have been learning how to carefully source and cite images they use in their work. Watch the video below and then take a moment to reflect on your own practice when adding images to the digital creations you share with students, colleagues, and parents.
ONLINE RESOURCES
Some fun stuff for the long weekend
If you don’t like your own drawings, use this cool A.I. tool, Autodraw, to create quick images!
A fun app for your personal devices only – Travel Penguin helps you to create a travel journal of your trips. It’s a great way to connect with friends and watch each others ‘footprints’ as you travel. More info here.
