Digital Citizenship
Technology plays an increasingly larger role in the lives of students at school and at home. While students are often quite adept at using tech tools, navigating the online world can sometimes be more complicated. All K-5 students participate in hands-on instruction to develop strong Digital Citizenship skills. The lessons, developed by Common Sense Media, lay the groundwork for students to successfully use technology to enhance their learning and their lives as they grow older. School-based instruction is just one component to developing good digital citizens. Parents and guardians are encouraged to play an active role in their student’s use of technology at home. Check out the Common Sense Web site below for some excellent resources.
