Digital Citizenship
What is Digital Citizenship?
Digital citizenship is the ability to think critically, behave safely, and participate responsibly in the digital world. We want all students to be able to use technology safely and appropriately, understand how it affects themselves and others, and participate with confidence in a thoughtful manner.
At LES, we use lessons and resources from Common Sense Education. You can learn more about the research behind their digital citizenship curriculum on their website.
