Standard+11+C

=Standard 11: Pedagogy of Information and Digital Literacy in Multiple Learning Environments.=
 * ==C. Implement and evaluate developmentally appropriate content instruction.==

===The Artifacts and articulation of Standard 11 C are below. My reflections during the study of the Standard components is below the artifacts. Each Standard page will follow the same format.===

The Screencast linked below was made using the web-based free-download application, [|Jing]. Many of our teachers now require surveys within constructivist assignments. Teachers, small learning communities, school site council, and WASC are using surveys to gain parent opinion. This screencast provides a five-minute, step-by-step process in the use of [|Survey Monkey], a free web-based survey generator. The Survey Monkey screencast may be used by anyone, students, teachers, or parents. The content is developmentally appropriate grades 8 though adult. The screencast provides use of technology, through construction of surveys, to implement and evaluate content instruction, needs assessment, and data collection. Through this professional development learning object I have met Standard 11 C.

Reflection on Digital Citizenship resources.
The are so many publisher, cable companies, organizations, government offices all running to put out the fire the "digital citizenship" curriculum. I am suspect of the motive before I even look at the material for evaluation, let along implementation. These thoughts came to mind when I reflected on the "why"?
 * Instruction is mandated by state and federal law, so it should not just be the topic 'd jour. It seems that all areas of the of public, corporate, government, and non-profit life are on the band-wagon, and there is not a lot of collaboration and pooling of information to make "one" giant clearing house. CLRN will no longer be funded, I think they tried. Brokers of Expertise never really caught on. Is it for profit? For compliance? For the general good? Look at the motive behind the resource, does it prejudice the information?
 * What is going to be the NEXT wave? Will Common Core fill 2013-2023 with the same shock wave of resources? Will Digital literacy and citizenship go the way of "Reading Recovery" and "Accelerated Reader" and last cycles reading, math and science texts? I have to think not, as the work will never be completed. There is always something to learn, a way to protect yourself, to be resilient, from birth to death. It is ongoing. It is bigger than the influence of educators, but we are the best hope of imparting the information.
 * Every State Attorney General's Office has cyber safety information. There are resources on most Cabinet Department websites. Is there a metasites for all of this information? (I admit, I haven't looked.)
 * This is a topic that reaches every aspect of our society and commerce. Which makes me wonder how some officials in the news can still be so cyber-dumb. Our work is certainly not complete.
