Digital Citizenship in Second Grade/Elementary Schools


What is digital citizenship? When do we start telling our students and children about the dangers that lurk in the dark? How do we teach them to use the internet safely and warn them of the dangers, but at the same time not scaring them.

We do it now! In a world where smartphones are the only phones that exist, people are typing their notes in classes, using it to create their own artwork and connecting with multiple people around the world!
In a world, where we all are becoming digital citizens, we need to know the rules of the road and how to use what we use correctly. What is the best way to do that? It is by opening up to the new and changing world and becoming well-rounded people!






There are many resources online to help build up resources in the classroom with digital citizenship! :) We need to always be evolving and learning new things, if we don't then we are stuck in the dark ages. It is good to remember though that it is nice to have face to face relationships as well tagged along with our digital citizenship!

  1. I really liked your idea about using skype and IM's in the classroom. I thought it was a great way to use technology and get involved with people outside the classroom. Great job on presenting the information. It was very well put together and organized.
