Digital Citizenship

In third grade, students begin using different types of apps like CCSearch, which "build(s) a more equitable, accessible, and innovative world" and Edmodo, which is a way for students to connect and collaborate online.  Using these apps opens our communication about being a digital citizen.

Following units from Common Sense Media, we begin by talking about Rings of Responsibility to answer the question, "What kinds of responsibilities does a good digital citizen have?"   Next, we focus on being a Super Digital Citizen to answer the question: "How can people help others to be good digital citizens?"  The students have created super heroes to help other students remember online responsibilities.
