Tool #10

Just like you keep children safe on the playground, and go over rules and expectations, digital safety is a must in every classroom.  I love Brain Pop so I will use the Digital Safety movie to help my students learn.  I think it is important that they learn to keep all passwords and personal information private, be kind to others, and not to post anything that they don't want the whole world to read or see.  I also liked the Cyber Safe THINK reminder.  Digital Citizenship could also be tied to our other citizenship lessons as we discuss the many places and ways we practice good citizenship.  As far as parents go, I  would make this a topic at Open House and also include some information in my blog or newsletters for parents.
