This date marks the physical representation of partnership through collaboration and exploration.
The Orchid Initiative, a philosophy based organization focused on ‘personal individuality’ designed a student-facilitated session with Edchange Global Classrooms (formerly Edcamp Global). The student-facilitated session used Twitter as a platform to communicate and share techniques to better establish digital citizenship.
Digital citizenship is a community of individuals that effectively use the internet and its platforms to positively engage and share learning opportunities. The Orchid Initiative felt that hosting a student-facilitated Twitter Chat Session would allow for global connections through various educational locations.
The session dealt with intellectual conversations about bettering digital citizenship by making a greater ‘individual’ impact on the community. This ‘impact’ starts with more student opportunities to vocalize opinions and hold discussions on social and educational topics.
