Digital Citizenship is a user's appropriate and responsible behavior with regard to technology use.
From the moment a student is handed a device, he or she should apply their “digital” citizenship skills. K-12 students should be taught how to work respectfully with others online, be safe while online, solve problems, communicate clearly and appropriately, distinguish facts from opinions; truths from falsehoods, and how being a good online citizen can empower them.
Here are a few resources, ideas, and activities to help you develop and support good online citizens.
- 9 Elements of Digital Citizenship
- Common Sense Media - This website has an entire curriculum for K-12 grades. It also has wonderful videos, posters, and activities to help support digital citizenship all year long.
- Google Teacher Center: Digital Citizenship and Safety Course - This course for teachers took me less than 2 hours to complete. Teachers will walk away with ideas, videos, and activities that you can use immediately with your students. Upon completion of the course, you also receive a certificate.
