Enter for a chance to win a selection of Fall’s hottest reads, including bestsellers by Stephen King, Ruth Ware, and Jennette McCurdy! This is where digital citizenship lessons come in. Futurelearn.com defines digital citizenship as “the ability to safely and responsibly access digital technologies, as well as being an active and respectful member of society, both online and offline.” This includes safety, kindness, information literacy, and more. At the kindergarten level, you can even find lessons on balancing time spent on and away from screens, or dealing with big emotions when it’s time to turn off preferred activities. As our children enter into an entirely new way of dealing with the world, we need to prepare them. Hopefully you’ve found some resources that will help you bring the basics of digital citizenship to your students or patrons. Looking for more?
