EdTech Resources How to teach digital safety and citizenship? "At the beginning of each school year, we review with all students the importance of digital safety. Then, during Digital Citizenship Week, we focus on safety, cyberbullying and digital citizenship. All our parent communication during this time is about the digital safety topics that their children are learning and how to continue the conversation at home. We send home tips and tricks plus resources parents can access to learn more, such as Common Sense Media (commonsense.org). As the year continues, we incorporate these concepts in our social-emotional learning curriculum. Since our students live in both a physical and a digital world, they need to be equipped with the skills to keep them safe no matter where they are." KRISTIN BOWLING, director of technology services, Enterprise Elementary Teachers Association For a full list of resources including websites, forums and Twitter accounts, see californiaeducator.org/edtech-resources.
