Who is this wiki for?
=== This wiki is for all students and teachers, particularly those in Yr 7 at SCC. ===

It hosts resources, ideas & information to guide you in your exploration of digital citizenship.

It's a space for you and your classmates to make your own contributions and to share your own reflections and learning.

=== What does it mean to be a digital citizen? / What is a digital citizen? / What are your rights & responsibilities as a digital citizen? ===

=== With your group ... explore the resources below ... then work on the activity outlined at the end. You have the rest of this session plus two more to complete the task. ===


 * Mike Ribble is a bit of an expert in the area of digital citizenship and technology. He's come up with what he calls the 'nine themes of digital citizenship'. Check them out via the link below. Skim through the themes to get a feel for them. You don't have to read every single word right now! We'll spend more time over the next few weeks exploring these themes. @http://www.digitalcitizenship.net/Nine_Elements.html

__Task for your Group__
Each of the 6 resources above talks about the rights & responsibilities of digital citizens. With your group you've read through them and talked about them.

Now, as a group pick out what your group believes to be the top 6 points.

Use these to create a group 'Internet Bill of Rights & Responsibilities' poster.

Include:
 * suitable heading
 * a brief preamble / introduction
 * the 6 points or articles that your group believes are the MOST IMPORTANT
 * a sentence or two under each article to explain it just a little bit and make it clear what you mean
 * the names of all group members on your completed poster

Be creative in making your 'Internet Bill of Rights & Responsibilities' poster. Be colourful, use headings, use pictures to illustrate the ideas. You can make your document in Word or Publisher or Powerpoint or as a Google Doc so you can all work on it at the same time.


 * Remember, if you use pictures / images / illustrations / text that the group HAS NOT created, then you need to give credit to the creator via a bibliography or a credits section on your poster. This can be a separate page if you wish. **

Your group will have 2 more class sessions to complete the task.
