DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP WEBNIAR

I had the chance to attend the Digital Citizenship seminar this week and ask a question during the webinar to Dr. Marty Park.

My question was: How can we bring Digital citizenship to developing countries and international classrooms where technology isn't always present?

Dr. Park's response was the following:
Whatever technologies we have access to, there are ways to learn the key concepts and competencies of Digital Citizenship.
The core of Digital Citizenship is how to be a responsible, respectful and empowered person. He said that our real life and online life were merging at a rapid pace and we're trying to figure out how to do that really well. He insisted on sharing the common definition of what it means to be a Digital Citizen with people as well as hack the definition of Digital citizenship and making it our own.  He said ''Put a definition that would bring leaders together and share the systems around''.
He also said that we need to use whatever technology we have access to, that might not be AR or VR but might be the technology that we use in that country and learn through doing, living and being connected.

While recovering from leg surgery, I had to be on bed rest, so I had a lot of time to read about AR/VR and how it’s used in different countries not just the United States. As an international student on campus, I was really interested in learning more about AR/VR in the classroom as my developing the country is still far away from using this new technology in classrooms and my goal is to figure out how we could import it at a cost-effective for school. Technology has become a key component of today’s classroom and is here to stay. A recent study highlighted the prevalence of tech in the classroom, as 71% of primary schools and 76% of secondary schools have tablets in the classroom, according to BESA. Tablets and laptops have unlocked opportunities for students to explore and continue...
