toc "//Often we invoke the word 'citizenship' in terms of our rights - our rights to privacy and to free speech, for example. But citizenship is also about responsibilities - responsibilities to maintain, to protect, and to enhance the community in which we live//." Audrey Watters, ReadWriteWeb

Digital ID Road Map Tools
We've created a selection of handouts to help teachers introduce the Digital ID project and digital citizenship components. The Digital ID Road Map contains all of the handouts listed separately below within a narrative that we hope will serve as a mini-teachers guides for those wanting a structured guide to rolling out a digital citizenship program. As with all the resources we have created, you are warmly invited to use as is or adapt to fit your needs.
 * Digital Citizenship Overview Interactive Student Worksheet
 * Digital Citizenship Overview - Teacher Key
 * Digital Citizenship Video Summary Student Worksheet
 * Script Writing Guide for Digital Citizenship
 * PSA Storyboard for Digital Citizenship
 * [|How to Launch a Film Festival]

Digital ID online presentation (Prezi) and the companion. We designed this presentation as a teacher-led introduction the Digital ID project.

Language Tools
@Digital Citizenship Glossary (also available in a Google Doc) - Understanding **//the language of digital citizenshi////p//** is a first step for our students in becoming practicing digital citizens. We've designed this interactive glossary to help students bring digital citizenship vocabulary into their listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills.

We will continue to add translations to the DC Glossary, posting them as soon as teachers and students send them to us. For a starter, and thanks to the efforts of students from the U.S. and Mexico, our menu includes:
 * Digital ID Glossary in Arabic
 * Digital ID Glossary in Vietnamese
 * Digital ID Glossary in Spanish

- This is a collaborative student-generated project that helps students "own" the DC vocabulary by co-creating a PowerPoint slideshow (or VoiceThread or Google Doc Presentation) from A-Z.

**Pre Assessments**
Digital ID Survey- In teaching digital citizenship, as with any topic, it's a good idea to begin with a pre-assessment. We searched (Googled, Yahooed, etc.) high and low to find a collection a ready-made assessments, but we came up empty handed. So we did the next best thing: we developed, via Google forms, an online assessment of our 4 foci: //Stepping Up - Bullying~Cyberbullying; Building Identities - Digital Footprints; Respecting Boundaries - Intellectual Property; and Protecting Online Security and Privacy - Protecting Personal Information and Equipment.//

> Teachers are welcome to download, clone, and tweak our Digital ID Survey to best reflect their school and district digital citizenship programs.

>> **How to Clone a Google Form** - From Captain Mac- 6 easy steps to making your own copy of the Digital ID Survey: >>> # Open the form you want to copy. >>> # Under the "file" menu, choose "create a copy". >>> # Choose a name and click "OK" >>> # Once the newly named copy appears(a spreadsheet), under the "form" menu" choose "edit form" >>> # Once the form opens, choose save in the top right corner. >>> # Once "saved" appears, you may close the form. It should appear in your directory as a form, if not refresh your screen.

Legal Mandates
- We've created this one-pager Word doc to put the 2012 mandates into a nutshell. Since it is up to each district or school site to determine its own e-Rate implementation plan, we hope the growing bank of Digital ID resources will help sites jump start conversations (across the nation and globe) and aid in drafting digital citizenship plans that cover the three topics required by CIPA:
 * Cyberbullying (Digital ID: Focus 1 - Stepping Up)
 * Appropriate online behavior (Digital ID: Focus 2 - Building a Positive Digital Footprint/Focus 3 - Respecting Boundaries)
 * Safety and privacy (Digital ID: Focus 4 - Protecting Online Privacy)

Project Templates
Project Overview Planning Template - There's nothing like a little structure to help you plan a project - and keep your focus. As the Digital ID project and wiki continue to evolve, we periodically return to our project overview to help clarify our thinking.

PSA Tools

 * PSA Storyboard Organizer - Great PSAs are the result of following pre-production steps!
 * Using PSA Creation as an Accountability and Reconciliation Tool provides a way to use PSAs to help students learn consequences of their inappropriate use of technology in an empowering, not punitive way.

Sentence Starters

 * Sentence Starters for Agreeing/Disagreeing - Teacher Paul Allison, NWP Technology Liaison and main facilitator of the fabulous Youth Voices Project, provides the scaffolding to help students respectfully agree or disagree, an essential netiquette component.
