ABOUT

​LET'S CHAT! MEET MCS DIGITAL LEADERSHIP

As part of the iMAC grant consortium with the Indiana Department of Education, Madison Consolidated Schools formed a student cadre under the direction of co-teachers Melanie Torline and Jennifer Watson in 2013.2014. The Digital Leadership class is made up of 13 hand-selected students; 11 of these students are sophomores and 2 of these students are seniors that serve as mentors. The class meets every Tuesday and Thursday from 7:15am - 7:45am.

In this course, the students use the learning management system, My Big Campus, to receive announcements, participate in discussions, and complete assignments. Now that the students have completed a preparatory phase consisting of modules on digital citizenship, cyberbullying, online security, copyright & plagiarism, and social media - students are creating digital curriculum on digital citizenship for their peers at the high school, along with the students at the junior high and elementary levels.  

The overall goal is to help students aware of their digital presence online and to lead others in creating positive “digital tattoos” that will benefit them in their current circumstances and in their future lifestyles and careers.
