We use the word 'digital' to talk about computer technology. Being a 'citizen' means that you belong to a group of people.

Digital citizens can use technology to communicate with others online and know how to use the internet in a safe and responsible way.


There are rules that you need to follow to be a responsible user of technology.

It is important to be safe, to be kind, to be respectful and to be careful when we use the internet. 


Common Sense Education is a website that provides teachers, parents, and students with all different resources on digital citizenship. You can find lessons, videos, activities, tips and resources.
