Digital Citizenship Week and Resources

It's Digital Citizenship Week! Eleven years ago, Common Sense Education started Digital Citizenship Week to highlight the importance of helping kids, families, and teachers navigate our 24/7 digital world.  Students are online more than ever before, so teaching them how to use technology thoughtfully and responsibly is an essential part of their social and emotional development and academic success. While we are focusing on digital citizenship skills this week, this is an ongoing conversation that encompasses much of students' home and school lives, and it is something that we will continue to emphasize here at Floris.  

Each day this week will have a different focus within the umbrella of digital citizenship.  Students will learn more about that particular focus on the school news show and be given opportunities to discuss the theme within their classroom. 

Here's our schedule for this week:
