These questions come from a survey of adults put together by Mark Ray (@_TeacherX), and used as an introduction to his session at CUE titled "Compliance to Self-Reliance: Rebooting Digital Citizenship". This was exactly the type of session I look for: raising big questions and causing me to re-think the way we do things, rather than just presenting another tool or strategy. Ray's big idea for this session is that digital citizenship education needs to be about changing culture in schools, which includes the adults, more than just providing lessons to students.
In this, he brings in the "6-circle" model, also known as "Below the Green Line". The idea here is similar to Peter Drucker's maxim, "Culture eats strategy for breakfast." If we are simply teaching digital citizenship through programs or lessons, no matter how good they are, they are in the "Structures" or "Patterns" circles. Those are bound to be overwhelmed by the culture within schools or districts, the circles below the green line in this diagram. In order to effectively change our organizations, we have to address both above and below the green line.
This session is causing me to re-think how we address digital citizenship within SVUSD, and that's exactly what I was looking for. I encourage you to check out Mark Ray's slides and associated resources. I'll have another post later about a different session from this presenter, as well as a couple of others.
