Digital Citizenship/Internet Safety

Here’s advice from Common Sense Media to help kids protect their privacy:

1. Explain that nothing is really private. Privacy

settings aren’t infallible, so it’s up to kids to protect

themselves by thinking twice before they post

something that could damage their reputation or

that someone else could use to embarrass or

hurt them.

2. Teach kids to keep personal information private.

3. Remind kids to protect their friends' privacy.

4. Help kids think long term. Everything leaves a

digital footprint. Whatever gets created may never

go away. If they don’t want to see it tomorrow,

they'd better not post it today.
