Do you want to make sure your child is safe and protected online? Learning about and understanding Digital Citizenship is one of our digital world's most essential life skills. To defend oneself, one must have the basic foundation to be a safe, respectful, and educated citizen. Learners will participate in discussions on various topics. For example, the teacher will have weekly slides that may include short video clips while discussing a topic, polls, and a quick quiz as an exit ticket. Classes will be filled with information to teach skills to help your child make positive decisions online. Whether they are on a computer, tablet, or mobile phone, this class will teach skills to become a good Digital Citizen in our fantastic world filled with data and technology. Your child has the opportunity to use Nearpod and a private class code will be shared during class to join if they want.
