We know this well. Our students have likely had access to technology from a very early age.
They have grown up in this digital world, and sometimes they don't have a sense of natural consequences to help them manage their online responsibility. This is where digital citizenship comes into play. We teach our students how to be good citizens and treat themselves and others with respect.
It is necessary to broaden that perspective to include an online environment. The content we create and the choices we make online matter. Explicit instruction in digital citizenship topics will provide a foundation that can be built on as we use technology every day in a safe and productive way.
We are teachers. Guiding students to become productive citizens is what we do.
To make the most of the Internet, kids need to be prepared to make smart decisions. Be Internet Awesome, created by Google, empowers kids with tools and education to confidently and safely explore, grow, and play online.
In addition to the lesson content, each of the five pillars is part of the Be Internet Awesome online game where students can practice key learning.
Common Sense Media is a very well respected source of materials and they have recently updated their lessons to adjust to current challenges and needs.
