Digital Citizenship Resources

Just like teaching good citizenship in the real world, digital citizenship empowers students to be positive contributors online. This empowers them to become critical consumers of online information, where they can discern fact from fiction by evaluating the credibility of sources and avoiding misleading content. They also develop strong digital safety practices, which involve protecting their personal information, interacting responsibly with others online, and being mindful of their digital footprint. This includes understanding the ethical implications of their online actions. Ultimately, these skills equip them to contribute positively as responsible citizens in the online community, fostering a more ethical and inclusive digital environment.
