Cyber Civics recognizes and celebrates what it means to be a digital citizen in the global community available through the internet and social media. There is both privilege and responsibility inherent to safe and successful interactions on social media. As the students learn to be upstanding citizens in this new online community, they will also learn to recognize and even counteract the negative words and actions of others.
