Having rules and norms in our community to follow is what makes us be good and better citizens. Just like that students also follow the rules when using technology, that way they will give a good and better use of technology.
There are three main norms that need to be follow:
1.- Security and Safety: I will model and guide them how to use the Internet in the correct and safer way by pointing out the things that should not be done while using the Internet. Also showing them the right things to do. They need to be giving a clear understanding on how we handle all the things that the Internet have to offer us. It is also very important they are being constantly reminded that technology needs to be handle with care.
2.- Etiquette: I will model how to be respectful to other student's work. This is a good connection to our Tribes Agreement: "No Put Downs". When we post things about our own ideas or opinion is just like you were saying it face to face. Furthermore students need to be aware that we need to respect's other opinions.
3.- Responsibility: I will model how to take responsibility of their own work and in order to be successful at using technology they need to know that there are boundaries and we are not allow to go over them. By being respectful, they are compromise to give them credit when using some of their work.
These norms will be model, model, model and model. They also will be practice and reinforce in the classroom at all the times.
I like the way you connected digital citizenship to Tribes. I hadn't thought of it in that way before.
