The Digital World
Digital citizenship is a foundational skill for learning and life. As the lines between digital life and real life merge, we must prepare young people to harness the power of technology for responsible participation and active engagement. But with this power come ethical and challenging issues, such as cyberbullying, hate speech, privacy violations, digital distraction, and more, that are surfacing both in schools and at home.
This section provides lessons developed by Commons Sense Education that teach Digital Citizenship and using technology in a safe and effective way. Sections are split up by grades 7-8. These lessons can be taught by parents, guardians, teachers, and counselors alike.
Each Lesson takes between 30-50 minutes to complete. We encourage that the student complete these lessons with parent/guardians.
