Using the recent Digiteen global collaborative project as a catalyst (http://digiteen.wikispaces.com) this session explores what it means to be a digital citizen and how your school community can become actively engaged in promoting best practice use of online learning. Forget the fear factor, embrace safe practices and informed pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning online with educational networking and collaborative websites.
