🌐 Digital Citizenship Week: Be Smart, Be Safe, Be Responsible! 🌐
This week, we celebrate Digital Citizenship Week! It's a great opportunity to teach and learn how to navigate the online world safely and responsibly. Here are some tips for students and families:
-Think Before You Share: Always consider the impact of your posts. Once something is online, it’s hard to take back!
-Respect Privacy: Keep your personal information private and encourage others to do the same.
-Be Kind Online: Treat others with respect in all your interactions. Remember, there's a real person behind the screen!
-Verify Before You Trust: Check the source of information before sharing. Misinformation spreads quickly!
-Know the Rules: Familiarize yourself with your school’s digital policies and guidelines.
-Ask for Help: If you encounter something uncomfortable online, don’t hesitate to talk to a trusted adult.
