Digital Citizenship
Although schools have the responsibility to teach digital citizenship throughout the year, we urge you to make a point to highlight Digital Citizenship during Computer Science Education Week which is the week of December 5. We have created a Padlet below with resources for you to use to provide your students with lessons on digital citizenship and online safety.
"Families and educators play a crucial role in guiding students’ observations and decisions while navigating the internet. Families and educators should help students learn how to guard their identities and privacy online, what is acceptable or not acceptable to share, how to communicate with others, how to search for and make sense of information and news, and how to participate in our interconnected world. Early on, students develop habits of media use in their everyday lives they will carry into adulthood. " - MDE Digital Learning Best Practices ISTE Standards 1, 3 Deep Dive
"Digital citizenship includes more than just teaching students how to be safe, kind, and responsible in a digital world. It also includes being comfortable using the internet, applications, and devices; finding a healthy balance in time spent on various digital and non-digital activities; recognizing the impact of media use on emotional well-being; and being capable of critically analyzing news and other media, including determining credible sources and proper use of copyrighted materials. Educators should model these skills daily and incorporate conversations about these skills whenever technology is used in the classroom.
Digital Citizenship is NOT…
• only protecting your passwords or preventing cyberbullying.
• a lesson taught once a year.
• a course only taught in a computer lab by the computer instructor."
- Mississippi Department of Education's Digital Learning Instructional Guide
