My participation for the SID2016
WHAT is special this year with my participation on SID2016?
I created a ===> #GlobalCollaboration #blog <=== from @knolinfos (my pseudo on twitter) & @ICTPHMS & @kimmindy7 for #LEARNing about #DigitalCitizenShip. The authors are from Luxembourg/Europe (me), one female teacher from the USA and a male teacher from the USA WHO are using my blog post to learn together and sharing THEIR practice with YOU dear readers.
Well, there is a lot of different views about ===> Digital CitizenShip <=== WE will explore WHAT could be THE BEST way to teach and to learn about Digital CitizenShip (hashtag on Twitter is #digcit).
Here below the links of OUR blog post:
- Learning To Become a GOOD Digital Citizen | Digital CitizenShip (A Global-Collaboration Blog)
- PracTICE: Learning To Learn-Digital CitizenShip (A Global-Collaboration Blog)
How does it come that I post Global-Collaboration blog posts? Well, once the #ProfessionalDevelopment is Upto-Date, one does understand THAT learning in a team brings out a win-win situation and that a generation exchange is benefit for all of the participants as anyone learns from each other. BTW: here below other Global-Collaboration blogs with teaching persons from Australia, USA, France, Luxembourg (me):

Why should ===> anyone <=== participate?
.
========> Cyber-security – a shared responsibility <=======
.
Cyber-Security is a shared responsibility, WE are ALL responsible for a more secure Internet and it is ===> OUR responsibility to build up the future for OUR kids, learners and students! <===
WE can do it by learning and teaching the basics of Cyber-Security and ALSO by helping international organizations such as “Safer Internet Day” to become a catalyst for such a difficult task!!!
.
======> WE are living in a world of connected technology, Cyber-Security is a MUST!!! <======
