Digital Citizenship

Part of our role as educators is to prepare our students to be safe, responsible, and successful. With the increase of technology in our society and in our classrooms, digital citizenship has become a necessary part of the curriculum. Don't forget to review the D64 Digital Citizenship Curriculum. Each identified theme is required to be covered at some point during the school year, but you can choose how you teach this in your classroom.
