Digital Citizenship Week 2019

New school, new school year...it is time to get started sharing some things again!  I am super excited to be at Dutch Fork Elementary as school librarian!  It is now about 9 weeks into the school year and I am starting to feel a bit more settled.  My best advice for new librarians (and experienced librarians switching schools) is to give yourself time to get settled.  Building relationships with students and teachers is the most important thing!

...Which totally leads me into this week being Digital Citizenship Week!  Online relationships are important too and many times students don't realize that!  This week I am talking about relationships by sharing one of my favorites: Nerdy Birdy Tweets by Aaron Reynolds. 

This book is WONDERFUL for opening conversation about online relationships vs. in person relationships!  Nerdy Birdy and Vulture are best friends, but they have very different likes and dislikes.  When Nerdy Birdy discovers Tweetster and starts making online friends, his relationship with Vulture suffers.  And when Vulture discovers that Nerdy Birdy has posted a picture of Vulture on Tweetster her feelings are terribly hurt.  Please comment below and share what you are doing for Digital Citizenship Week!
