You are here

Looking for ideas for teaching digital citizenship? Understanding at what age to introduce particular digital citizenship skills is part of the formula for success. For example, for young children who are first being exposed to technology and social media, it is important to teach how the digital world and the real world are connected and to emphasize treating people online just as you would treat them in the real world.  Once those your kids are in middle and high school, it is a good idea to introduce topics such as privacy, ethical dilemmas and what to do about your digital footprint.
