Today I learned all about digital citizenship and how to be better equipped with how I do certain things on the internet. I engaged in a game presented by Google called "Interland". It was a neat way for an educator to teach digital citizenship to their younger students and to keep them engaged in the learning experience. It allows for the kids to play a game while also learning about how to create a safe password, for example. I also searched on Common Sense Education for lesson plans regarding digital citizenship and there was a nice variety of lessons and each was a little different in the way to approach the topic. Knowing how to protect yourself and others on the internet is a very valuable resource and is definitely something that needs to be fit into the school curriculum, even for the younger students!
