Elementary School Digital Citizenship Agreement
The Anglo-American School of Moscow believes the AAS community
(students, teachers, and parents) should demonstrate the attitudes and
behaviors of a Digital Citizen, and be internationally minded, both in
our online lives and our face-to-face lives.
As a member of the AAS Community, I will honor our Digital Citizenship Agreement both in and outside of school by:
Respecting Myself & Protecting Myself
- being
principled and not doing anything illegal or harmful in my online and face-to-face life;
- being
knowledgeable and safe with people online--I should only communicate with people I know;
- being
open-minded
and making new friendships online while understanding the difference
between real life and online friends--I should only invite people I
know in real life to be my friends online;
- being
balanced
by keeping my personal information private--I should only share
information online that is appropriate (no personal details, contact
details, or schedule of my activities);
- being a
safe risk-taker
and using privacy settings so only the people I know can see me online
and know my name/personal information, and protecting my passwords,
accounts, devices (like phone, tablet, and computer);
- being
reflective
and taking care of my “digital footprint” (how I represent myself
online, what content I create and share, who I friend, who can subscribe
or follow/share the content I create)--I should be proud to show
anything I post to my parents and teachers;
- being a
thinker and reviewing and respecting website terms of service of agreements and age restrictions;
- being an
inquirer
and questioning any suspicious or unwanted emails (spam), pop-ups,
advertising so I can avoid malware and viruses--I should not open or
reply to emails, links or sites from people I do not know;
- being
caring
and reporting to a parent or teacher any bullying, harassment or
inappropriate behavior directed at me or others--I should report any
experiences which make me feel uncomfortable or unhappy;
- being a
communicator
and talking about my online life with my parents and teachers--both the
good and bad experiences--I should not keep my online life secret from
my parents or teachers.
Respecting Others & Protecting Others
- being
principled and helping my friends and
classmates to treat people respectfully and honestly in our online and
face-to-face lives--I should set a good example for others and encourage
them to do the right thing;
- being
open-minded by
thinking about how my online (and face-to-face) actions might have a
positive or negative effect on my friends, classmates, and others I
interact with both online and in real life;
- being
caring
and not harassing, attacking or flaming other people (posting or
sending hurtful or inflammatory messages), or forwarding messages about
other people that are unkind, mean, bullying, or inappropriate;
- being a
communicator and
reporting instances of harassment and bullying I encounter my online
and face-to-face life to a teacher or parent--I should take action to
stop cyber-bullying!
- being
knowledgeable and
avoiding websites that are inappropriate (pornographic, violent, racist,
bigoted or unkind, or promote illegal activities), and telling a
teacher or parent if I visit these sites by accident;
- being a
thinker
by showing respect for others’ privacy (not trying to get into others’
online spaces without invitation, by not stalking them or copying or
sharing their pictures/videos without their permission).
Respecting Property & Protecting Property
- being
caring by handling technology devices (at
school and at home) carefully and responsibly, making sure others are
also careful and responsible with devices, and reporting any damage to a
parent or teacher;
- being
principled by only using
technology devices when I have permission from parent or teacher (or I
know it’s alright to use them), and not using others’ devices without
permission;
- being
principled by not illegally
downloading or sharing my own or other people’s music, videos, games,
software--this is piracy, and piracy = stealing! (If I have a question
if it’s illegal, I will ask a teacher or parent.);
- being
knowledgeable
by checking the information I use from online sources is correct and
accurate, and by citing sources for the information and media (pictures,
videos, music, etc.) created by others that I use;
- being
caring
by looking after other people’s websites, acting appropriately when I
visit them, not making any changes or vandalizing them, and reporting
inappropriate behavior of others to a parent or teacher.
I will follow the AAS Mission & Learner Profile when using ICT tools at school and at home.
I understand that I will be held responsible for my actions.
Disciplinary consequences from my school’s Family & Student
handbooks will be used to help me learn from my mistakes and avoid
making bad decisions in the future.
Digital Citizenship applies to me in and out of school, to my own and school devices.
Internet Safety
Internet Safety – ICT Curriculum, Digital Citizenship, & Parent Partnership
In our 21st century lives, our children live in a world in which
Internet access is ubiquitous. Be it through a desktop computer, laptop,
tablet, or smart phone, from high capacity wireless connections and 3G
and 4G mobile connections, the Internet is readily available (nearly)
everywhere for our children. This is potentially both an incredible
learning opportunity and a serious challenge for parents—the Internet
can be seen as a child’s dream come true, or a parent’s worst nightmare.
Parents often ask about how to limit their children’s access to
inappropriate content on the Internet.
ES ICT teacher Jim Stratton has written a series of articles
regarding this important question. Please click the links below to read
Mr. Stratton's articles, and read our
