Parents & Teachers: The Importance of Digital Citizenship

Digital Citizenship is an important topic for both teachers and parents to understand. In a changing digital world, we must be prepared to educate students about the safest and most appropriate ways to use digital technology. These lessons and resources may be used by both parents and teachers when having a discussion with teenagers about digital ethics. Communication between students, parents, and teachers is key. One of the benefits of posting lessons in an online format is that students can share what they learn with their families, encouraging more home discussions about important topics such as this one. The lessons also offer students the opportunity to participate online in a positive format. The use of a blog with the lessons gives students a chance to incorporate their voice as well as practice for writing skills.
