DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP ON NEARPOD
At the beginning of the school year I do a unit with 1-5th grade on how to be a good citizen on the internet. How not to be a cyberbully, research credible websites, and what (and what not to) put on social media. Please remind your students when you use technology within your classroom how to be a good digital citizen. It can't be stressed enough!
