How can we help our students, parents, and community members be responsible digital citizens?

This course guides educators through the major issues surrounding digital citizenship and how to address them in schools. Each of the four pathways offers resources, videos, and lessons to help educators at all levels, from administrators to teachers to coaches, use digital tools appropriately and lead students and parents toward becoming better digital citizens. You'll gain a comprehensive understanding of how to use the various national standards to develop, model and facilitate digital citizenship skills.
