About Digital Citizenship

Our students have grown up in a technology-rich world, where digital communication, online information, and mobile technology are taken for granted. They have never needed to struggle with technology, or fear it. Consequently, this generation are often known as "digital natives," a term which implies their expertise with technology, and often leads adults to think that students will just "figure things out".

Without clear guidance, positive modelling, and meaningful instruction, students cannot navigate the rich world of technology safely, and will find themselves suffering negative consequences very quickly.

As teachers, this must be our responsibility, especially as technology becomes an ever more integral part of classroom instruction.
