This module explored the contemporary nature of digital citizenship and cyber safety. Students are undoubtedly digital natives and continue to navigate the online world at a younger age. As teachers, we hold the responsibility to equip and teach our students to be conscious of online technology, honour being tech-savvy but mindful for the pitfalls. Some realities of such pitfalls include, bullying, scams, fraud, exposure to threats, inappropriate content and predators, all which students face daily. Many of the key readings, both peer-reviewed and government based websites were accessed to inform of smart, safe and responsible online information that can be easily interpreted to students. The assessment for this week involved an online quiz assessing information drawn from the suggestest readings.
