DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP
Our children live in a digitally connected world where they use technology in many facets of their lives. They spend time online doing schoolwork and homework, as well as communicating with friends, family and the world through social media. Parents and teachers are responsible for teaching children how to be safe, how to use technology appropriately, and how to act responsibly online. We must ensure our children are able to navigate the digital world and be good stewards of digital tools.
