Digital Citizenship is the standard for responsible and ethical use of technology and includes topics such as internet safety, digital footprints, reputations, privacy & security, self image & identity, relationships, communication, information literacy, cyberbullying, creative credit, and copyright.
The District safety sub-committee came together to lead and outline this important work. The following shared understandings were used to frame this section of the guide :
● Focus on variables we can control;
● Use reliable, scientific sources to guide our understanding of the virus and how to best effectively prevent our community’s exposure to it;
● Seek ways to reduce risk of virus (COVID-19 ) transmission, not eliminate it;
● Identify external and internal entities that would lead us to tighten or loosen restrictions; and
● Ensure new practices, policies and regulations are flexible and can be implemented and maintained.
