Digital Citizenship Materials From Common Sense Media.


While we may not be technology or computer science teachers, the fact of the matter is that most of us probably require students to use technology in one way or another. As an example, my students make videos, create audio recordings, participate in online discussions, view content online, and use an LMS not only to check on homework assignments, but also to submit assignments, view feedback, interact with classmates, and check grades. Even at schools that are not 1-to-1, teachers and students typically still rely on technology some of the time, and that is what makes digital citizenship such an important topic.
