Recently, ICT is being used at schools as an educational tool. We use technology on a daily basis-instant messaging, posting & watching videos, gaming and networking. That’s we are now actually digital citizens.
At this point, as Turkey, Poland, Estonia, Romania, England and Sweden, we have decided to create a Comenius Project for 2012-2014. The project “Positive Digital Citizens (PDC)” is a key to supply safe, appropriate and healthy usage of ICT both at school and at home. The project will lead pupils to become conscious European citizens having responsible behavour with regard to technology use. By implementing the project, we aim to get rid of the harmful effects of technology and to highlight the beneficial aspects of its. Especially, Pupils will be taught effective ICT usage, criticizing and being selective. We will mainly focus on digital communication, literacy, responsibility, information exchange, etiquette and security and the activities will be created accordingly. In brief, the project will give plenty of opportunities to pupils to share their interests and individual works in a digital media and to comment on, to communicate, to have fun and to gain information positively.
The potential broader impact of the project will be the change of pupils’ habits positively about using ICT. The project results will be shared with Europe-wide schools thanks to our web site and blogs to promote greater understanding and it will encourage teaching, training or other learning opportunities by the help of improved ICT skills among the target groups. The local societies will also benefit from the project results by taking active roles in most of the stages of the project by joining the online surveys, exhibitions, some activities and decision-making mechanism. As a result, pupils, teachers and community will gather technological knowledge which will be handy for life.
