Last week, all the 5th grade classes in our school received their first digital citizenship lesson from Mrs. Reindl. Here's what the students learned: The students discussed what it means to be a "digital citizen". They learned that as we use more and more technology and go online, we all have certain responsibilities to be good, ethical, and safe digital citizens. The class talked about the difference between right and wrong when it comes to online behavior. They discussed things like being kind to others, protecting your personal information, and using technology appropriately. The students worked together to go through different online scenarios. They had to decide what the right thing to do would be in each situation, and why. This helped them practice making good choices when using technology. Overall, the digital citizenship lesson gave the 5th graders a great foundation for being responsible and safe as they continue using computers, phones, and the internet more and more. It's an important lesson that will help them become better digital citizens.
