Before we launch into the seemingly endless world of the online environment we took some time today to talk and learn about what it means to be a responsible 'Digital Citizen'. We were grateful to have the help of our friend Danny from eTime who led us through some fantastic interactive learning activities.

As a culmination of our learning we started to create our 'Digital Citizenship Treaty' that we will all sign before launching into our other online activities. The students then had to create short movie trailers to illustrate at least one of the Treaty points. I was super impressed with how instinctively creative the students were with an iPad in their hands. We learnt a really valuable lesson too, 'don't forget about the learning purpose of the digital task when you have the device in your hand'. Check out this example from one of the teams:
