DIGITAL citizenship

The incredible pace of technological change in our society is bringing about new ways of doing just about everything and the idea of being a digital citizen, and what that means is something that many are grappling with. As educators we have a responsibility to help our tamariki and rangitahi to make sense of what being a good digital citizen means. This is an area that may not be given the necessary importance in many schools but it helps learners to understand issues that are impacting us all, such as digital footprint, data rights and privacy issues and the ability to sift through enormous information and misinformation online. The links here are just a small sample of the resources available online.
