4d.   Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility 

Teachers understand local and global societal issues and responsibilities in an 
evolving digital culture and exhibit legal and ethical behavior in their professional 
practices.  Specifically, teachers develop and model cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of other cultures using digital-age communication and collaboration tools.


REFLECTIONS ON NETS-T-4d:

Being a recent author of a book published by an international association like the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM includes members from Canada and Australia) has given me opportunities to engage with colleagues and students of other cultures using digital-age communication and collaboration tools. Facebook, a social networking tools, and Google, a world-wide search engine, facilitates this global communication. How poetic to have a book titled Getting into the Mathematics Conversation: Valuing Communication in Mathematics Classrooms being advertised in global markets on Ads by Google, reviewed on Facebook by colleagues around the world, and used in classrooms by teachers in settings as far away as Australia. Click here to the Ads by Google copy for this publication and to see how readers and I can communicate using Facebook technology.
