Digital Citizenship Week
September 9-13 was declared “Digital Citizenship Week” in Indiana. Your child took part in lessons from Common Sense Education’s Digital Citizenship Curriculum, designed to educate and guide young people to harness the power of the Internet and digital tools so they can become safe, responsible, and respectful digital citizens.
WHAT FAMILIES CAN DO: Common Sense Education takes a whole-community approach to digital citizenship by providing parent resources at www.commonsense.org to help you support your child’s learning.
