Celebrating Digital Citizenship Week 2014

Connecting kids via technology is unavoidable these days.  With increasing gadgets at home and learning tool access at school, kids spend increasing amounts of time online.  As students grow up interacting in a variety of ways using technology it is very important that parents and teachers guide and discuss the importance of Digital Citizenship.

This Common Sense Poster gives a simplistic view to build Digital Citizenship awareness at the Elementary level.  In 5 labels students can learn of the need to:

• Protect private information
• Stay safe online
• Stand up to cyberbullying
• Respect themselves and others
• Balance their time

No matter the age of a student, these Common Sense Family Tip Sheets can serve as guides to help keep the lines of communication open in the effort to establish sound Digital Citizenship practices as students grow.
