Digital Citizenship - Keeping our Students Safe Online!

We Take Online Learning Seriously!


    What does it mean to be a good digital citizen and why is that important?  We spend the month of October each year teaching the students about important rules for being safe online.  Most of our Library curriculum on this topic comes from Common Sense Education at http://www.commonsense.org.  Each grade level is taught mini lessons weekly, along with extension activities to reinforce learning.  Students in JK-2nd created Digital Citizens with Makerspace supplies that were individually packaged for their creations to adhere to safe COVID-19 guidelines, as well as using a drawing app to create their Digital Citizen online.  For students in 3rd & 4th grades, we reinforced their learning with collaborations on Jamboard and Google Slides.


    To reinforce these important lessons in a fun gaming environment, 1st-4th grade students learned how to play Interland, created by Google.  They were excited to explore the different "Towers of Responsibility", with many students completing all of the levels either at school or on their own time at home.  This game is available all year long on our Media Center website.  We teach our students to "Be Internet Awesome!".
