Teach digital citizenship!

Talk about the internet, social media, and the importance of being safe online.

The words and choices we make online can have a big impact, just like in real life.

Students work together to show how to be kind and thoughtful digital citizens! They answer questions like: What makes a positive post online? Why is it important to think before we post? How can we create a digital footprint we’re proud of?

They use templates to create positive, pretend posts on “Socialgram,” “Digitalbook,” and “iChat.”
