The best way to teach digital citizenship is to meet and mentor students in their space online--specifically social media. We need to encourage students to learn, create, and network online. We need to create new educational opportunities and imbue our current curriculum with this type of experience and mentorship. I've created new courses (see image above) and I've injected social media education my existing courses (see "research" below). Incorporating social media into our curriculum will help students learn to appreciate media literacy & digital citizenship, and it will help open doors for curious learners who carefully cultivate a digital portfolio before leaving school.

Students spend tons of time in social media; let's teach them how to use it to network, learn and create (rather than consume and entertain)
