Every year I have noticed that our students come to school with more tech skills, in other words some of them before the school start know how to handle and use devices such as video games consoles, dvd players, cellphones, even how to hold the mouse and open a program. They have been exposed to all these experiences at home. That is why is to important teach them how to be a good digital citizen. As in any other field there are rules that we have to follow to live in a good society. And I think that as Pre-k teachers we have the responsibility to set the bases of a good digital citizen.
I would like that my students understand what a cyber community is, what are the advantages of using and communicating throughout it , how to use tech tools such as skype or Itouches, and the most important thing that they learn the rules and responsibilities of using these media such as applying a right vocabulary, show behavor and respect when they are communicating with other person, to keep them safe and secure and also to prepare them for a society full of technology.
