The Grand Island schools have a long-running, successful PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports) program aptly named the Viking Values (in honor of our mascot the Viking).
As an enrichment project in one of our elementary schools, 4 third grade students and 4 fifth grade students worked with me to create Digital Citizenship posters. The posters provide examples of how students can portray the Grand Island PBIS Character Traits as Digital Citizens.
The project started with the students examining the character traits and brainstorming ideas of how they are represented in the digital environment. Digital cameras were used to capture the students “performing” what should or should not be done. We used Microsoft Word and Jing, learning how to work with tool bars, text boxes and other formatting features.
An example has been included here and all posters have been hung in the school’s computer lab as discussion starters and/or reinforcement of expected behaviors when using technology.
