Good Examples of Digital Citizenship //Hi, I'm a Yr4 classroom teacher and have a question regarding the olympic photos on your facebook page. They would be fabulous to use in the class for writing prompts etc. They're great photos of our awesome athletes and the kids would love them. Would it be possible to use them in an educational way if we attribute them to Getty Images? We are teaching our students to be good digital citizens, so I want to make sure I'm allowed to use the photos instead of just going ahead and doing so. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on behalf of our students!!! Thank you.// //** From: ** Elspeth McMillan [Elspeth@olympic.org.nz]**Sent:** Wednesday, 8 August 2012 11:30 a.m.**To:** Jackie Barrett**Subject:** FW: Olympic Photos on Facebook // // HI Jackie, // // Thanks for your query.

 * the idea came from writing as we were trying to use 'higher order' writing skills: create inspiration in our writing
 * we did a solo **define** map of words we could use to enhance our stories
 * then went out to find images that reflected these words
 * we then used Big Huge Labs to **create** our photo and then turn it into an inspirational poster
 * the students had to use an inspirational word and qualify it with a **describe** sub title that further gave meaning to the photo and word
 * this was so easy to do and such fun....the exercise was virtually student managed
 * the students saw what others were doing **(analyse, reflect)** and this heightened the awareness of the type of photo they needed, how to use colour to enhance the poster and title
 * some students then decided to take better photos or alter their work and make improvements
 * it did provide a big huge growth in word use and how to use a word with an echo of meaning surrounding it
 * we achieved a wonderful visual end product

The WALT for this activity was to take a photo of buddy in a physical position to fit into the photo they had chosen. Using Robo mind to teach basic programming skills. Here is one example of the simple code that the children wrote to make the tank write their initials.
