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."

director of technology
services, Enterprise
